ROUND NINETY-NINE

When was the last time, at the Crucible, that two players played each other, who had the same first name?

They must be 'known as' the same , so James Wattana v. Jimmy White, or Steve Davis v. Stephen Hendry, would not count.

Anyone?[/QUOTE]

[Alex0paul]

Peter Ebdon?

[PaulTheSoave]

I am certain its Eddie Charlton. consecutive 5 times number 3, starting season 76/77 and next in line is Mcmanus on number 6 (4 times). starting 93/94

[The Statman]

While chasmmi decides to whom he is going to award the points and updates the scoreboard, here is the next question:

ROUND NINETY-SOMETHING

Apart from no.1, which player has spent the most seasons in the top 16, with the same ranking in successive years?

In other words, which player has spent the most consecutive seasons with the same ranking figure (from 2 to 16 only)?

And which player is next?

[chasmmi]

It means I just need toget crzier for next time.

[snookersfun]

[chasmmi]
