	Eddie Charlton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Eddie Charlton (31 October 1929 - 7 November 2004) was a world-class Australian snooker player.
		Charlton was the best snooker player ever to come out of Australia.
		He was ranked number three in the world for five consecutive seasons from 1976/77, the first year of the world rankings, though surprisingly he never won a ranking tournament.

	Sport \| Eddie Charlton
		Eddie Charlton, who has died at the age of 75, became one of the most familiar faces in the cast of characters who changed snooker from an unregarded folk sport into a major television attraction in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
		Charlton made his first century break when he was 17, late by today's standards, and spent much of his youth on more robust sports, including 10 years of first-grade football, the 1950 National Surfing Championship with the Swansea-Belmont crew, a string of victories in speed rollerskating and competitive cricket, athletics, boxing and tennis.
		Although Charlton continued to compete until 1995, resisting the erosion of talent with an unremitting practice and physical fitness regime, he was never again a contender, although at billiards, which was very much his second game, he came agonisingly close to becoming world champion in 1984.

	Charlton_Hunt
		In what has became an annual WPBSA-backed event, Charlton, the only man ever to skip his two miles while carrying the olympic torch, has gone into hiding somewhere on Earth, trying to last the two weeks he needs to be crowned Snooker World Champion for the first time.
		Charlton or Steady Eddie as he is known got so sick of not winning by conventional means that he devised the special hunt amendment in 1985 and got it past the WPBSA committee by holding the meeting when the bars were open, thereby guaranteeing a no-show.
		As Charlton's desperation grows with each passing year, he is at least 98 years old, he has become more and more deceitful in his efforts to be crowned champ.
