Ken Doherty has announced his retirement from professional snooker after 36 years on tour.
Brilliant player and great ambassador for the game.

In frustrating circumstances I’ve been hacked on X and now apparently have a 50,000 car - despite never passing my test?

I’ve reported to X and they continue to say they fail to verify me as the owner of my account…

Could you please report this account and follow me here.

Zhao Xintong's 115 break this afternoon was the 2,500th century made at the Crucible since the World Championship moved there in 1977.

[David Hendon @davehendon]

50 years ago today Ray Reardon won a 5th world title at Wythenshawe Forum. The event was beset with complaints about conditions and promotion and attracted only scraps of TV coverage.
A year later new promoter Mike Watterson took it to a theatre in Sheffield. Best decision ever❤️

Ronnie O'Sullivan has now made a century break at the Crucible for 32 successive years

[David Hendon @davehendon]

Masterful writing on the unique power of the Crucible by @JohnESkilbeck for the BBC

@Rod_Studd The blue set was the big story that year. Never seen before, never seen since.

@Tboy2champions It was in Thailand I think, not sure any photos were ever published I'm afraid

[David Hendon @davehendon]

Chang Bingyu is the ninth player to make four centuries in four frames.
It's the 11th time in all and the 3rd in a best of 7.
