Snooker's Biggest Quiz

[Cyril]

The Crucible crowd even sang them "happy birthday"

[Cessy143]

They are the only two players who have met at the Crucible ON the birthday that they share. Not sure if they are the only players to have met in ANY tournament on their mutual birthday! Would take a bit of investigation that.

Well spotted Statman,,,let me know when you find out

[The Statman]

Don't think it's been asked before

I found the list of snooker players birthdays, then looked to see which were top 16 who share.
