I beleive Mark King holds the record for the most fouls in a frame, but can anyone tell me who has needed the most snookers and gone on to win that frame. Thanks.

I think I had asked this question earlier and the answer was Peter Ebdon needed 6 snookers on the pink. I think Rob told me this. Correct?Who needs 'The Rocket' , When RaNeN is here! -
I definitely remember watching John Spencer beat Jimmy White in a frame, but they were only showing it in an in-between moment during a lull in live coverage some years ago. But then I found reference to said incident in a book at home – I'll have a look and see if I can work out which book it was, and report back. I seem to remember it was either 6 or 7 snookers.Comment

Found it.
It was the 1983 Jameson International quarter-final; 3-2 down to Jimmy White in their best-of-9 match, he trailed 74-16 with one red left, so 58 behind and 35 on – needing six snookers.
He gained 23 points from five White fouls, gained a free ball and cleared with 40 to win 74-79 on the black.
It is an interesting statistic that this quarter-final defeat actually produced the biggest pay-cheque of Spencer's career – a 20-year career that included three world titles – as he collected £9,000.Comment

I have it on video. It was in the British Open at the Assembly Rooms, Derby. Jimmy made a break of 74 leaving John needing six snookers, which he got and then cleared up to win! John also made a cracking break of 100 in that match.Comment

I dont know how you do things like that. Its in VHS. I remember the ref was John Williams, commentators were Rex Williams and John Pulman. It was the sixth frame, with Jimmy ahead 3-2. Jim did play, as Pully remarked, "one or two rather imprudent strokes..."Comment
