  EABA : The Billiards Quarterly Review : October 1992
Clarke McConachy was born at Glenorchy, Lake Wakatipu, New Zealand, in 1895.
Clarke McConachy was not one of the most talented players who ever lived but he reached the very heights of the billiards world and became one of the greatest players ever by dint of sheer hard work and dedication to the game he loved.
Clarke was awarded the MBE in 1964 and died in Auckland a few days before his eighty-fifth birthday.

 EABA : The Billiard Player : October, 1921
Some months ago McConachy embarked on an extensive tour designed to include India and South Africa, and so well did he shape that he eventually decided to include England in his itinerary with its championship as his final goal.
In India McConachy created a new record for that country with a break of 870, and, proceeding to South Africa, the New Zealander quickly demonstrated that he was fit company for the world's best.
Against Falkiner, McConachy made 46 treble-figure breaks, including 461, 393, 377, 362, 353, 341, 315, and 309, and his victory was enhanced by the fact that in one day Falkiner scored no fewer than 2,360 points—a record for South Africa.

 EABA : Articles : Walter Albert Lindrum - His Life and Times (Peter Ainsworth)
An error against McConachy to the extent of a thousand points was discovered in the afternoon session of his match with Lindrum at the Memorial Hall, London, on 11th February 1930.
Lindrum, Smith and McConachy were under a one-season contract to Burroughes and Watts and could not play on another makers' table without their consent.
Performances over the season demonstrated that Davis, Newman and McConachy were all continuing to improve their game and making up lost ground on Lindrum, although there was no doubt that he still stood supreme in the sport.

 NZ Hall of Fame   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
McConachy had an extraordinary sporting career that was as long as an average lifetime and rarely has New Zealand produced a sportsman of such enduring excellence.
He was the second player to achieve the cueist’s ultimate — 1000 in billiards and 147 in snooker.
Among the tributes paid to McConachy was one in The Times in London: “Lindrum, Davis, McConachy and Tom Newman were so sure of shot in compiling their mammoth breaks that ordinary members of the public could not identify with their efforts.”

 BobMarshall
Marshall's billiards career was not only interrupted by the war, when he spent over 4 years in the Royal Australian Air Force, but also his decisions to retire from the game on several occasions, the first time in 1963 and again in 1970.
After his first retirement, Marshall made a comeback in 1969 for a series of exhibitions against the late Clark McConachy, and regained his Australian title the same year, defending it successfully in 1970 before calling it a day again.
He was once more tempted to make a return in 1985 when, at the age of 75, he won the Australian Championship and just failed to secure another World title when finishing runner-up to Geet Sethi, the Championship that year being held in New Delhi.

The OFFICIAL TITLE in 1952 was the event run by the Governing Body, the Billiards Association and Control Council Horace won the BAandCC organised event by beating Clark McConachy 94-49.
The British try to discount Horace's win in 1952 but, at the time, the British tabloid branded the British players 'The Bully Boys of Sport' and Lindrum and McConarchy two of the greatest sporting heroes of all time.

 Sport: Cool and canny wins the race by Joseph Romanos | New Zealand Listener
In 1968 McConachy, aged 73 and suffering severely from Parkinson’s Disease, lost his world title to Englishman Rex Williams, one of the big-name players of his era.
Yet, despite his advanced age and medical problems, McConachy, 40 years past his prime, pushed Williams all the way and lost by just 265 points.
So McConachy stands supreme in terms of a sportsman not acting his age.

In general, professional sport was marginalised, practised only by those with great talent in boxing, wrestling or billiards—or badly in need of extra income.
Among the talented few were Patrick O'Connor, world champion heavyweight wrestler, and Clark McConachy, world billiards champion for 17 years.
The fact that the great majority of rugby league players, many of whom were Maori, received no form of payment, did not prevent them being barred for life from amateur rugby.

Following closely in his brother's footsteps, Walter's first professional game came two years later when he was 13 years of age.
The professional billiards circuit in Australia was relatively small at this time, and it was inevitable that the Lindrum brothers would be matched against each other.
Williams added himself to this list of disgruntled opponents when, after the match, he was quoted as saying "No more Walter Lindrum for me, thank you".

Fifteen years later, at an age when most players have put their competitive cues in the rack, the old cueman returned to the matchroom in Hobart last year, prompted by his wife, who likes billiards, and a desire to pass on some of his knowledge to players who had never seen him.

Not only was this the turning point of the match, it was both a record for the championship under existing rules and, setting aside the pendulum break, the highest break of my career.
Only fractionally below this achievement in my personal ratings for the season was a match which I played against Clark McConachy in Birmingham, as Smith and Lindrum continued to battle their way round the countryside.
What happened was that a friend of mine came over to me just before the afternoon's play and offered to bet me a new hat that I would not make a 1,000 break during that session.
