11 semi finals and 2 wins he was good. He played for Wednesbury cons as an amateur in the West Midlands league and was one of 4 players to turn professional in the same year from that club the others were Anthony Harris, Jim chambers and Martin Clark . I know because I played for Wednesbury Cons the year after them trying to pick up the pieces after they left.
Excellent post! I have great memories of Steve James - such a fluent and aggressive break builder. I wonder how successful he could have been with the kind of coaching available now.
Amazing break 16 reds and colours, and then all colours I was always wondering if anyone got more then the 15 reds, and your video answered that question, good for you op that you knew about this. I wonder how many people have recorded breaks higher then 147, i assume the highest possible break you can ever get in snooker is 155. Very nice break, would be interested to see breaks over 147, if anyone knows how many are actually made in competition and are on video to see. Has anyone ever got a 155 break in snooker, in theory the highest possible break?
He was on a program surgeons at the edge of life on bbc he had a bad bike crash at 100mph recently 2021 ish broke both his arms thought I recognized him . What a great player in the day Quick and lovely to watch faster than Higgins !! What memories !!
He was a real talent.

Yes, I remember him fondly too. Very exciting to watch when he was an up and coming player.

Wasted talent he was
Wasted talent seems a bit harsh but for his level of talent you would have thought that he could have achieved more in the game than he actually did.
