		Generally recognised as the only overseas player to win the world championship, Cliff Thorburn was a dour opponent and, particularly in the early 1980s was a major contender in every tournament he entered.
		This all changed in 1977 when he went all the way to the final of the first world championship to be held at the Crucible eventually losing 21-25 to John Spencer.
		He was a regular captain of the Canadian world cup team and, with his regular partners of Bill Werbeniuk and Kirk Stevens, took the trophy in 1982.

		There was little of that on show last evening as he was second best in the tactical battle with his fellow Welshman and was guilty of trying too much to force the pace.
		Stevens, appearing in his first world final, was hardly in top form himself with play often of a scrappy nature, much to the disappointment of the capacity crowd at the Crucible Theatre.
		His 111 brought up the 50th century of this year’s championships and was the fifth frame he had won on the trot after trailing 4-3 in the afternoon session.

	Snooker: Doherty rally topples Hunter - Telegraph
		Ken Doherty, the 1997 champion, completed the most remarkable comeback seen at the Crucible Theatre to reach the Embassy World Championship final yesterday when he recovered from 15-9 adrift to edge out Paul Hunter 17-16.
		Hunter, the world No 9 from Leeds, is widely acknowledged to be a fine pressure player but the Crucible produces its own unique atmosphere and the intimate arena has resulted in many a wobble in the arms of previously unshakable players.
		The 33-year-old world No 5 defeated John Higgins 13-8 in the quarter-finals but only after enduring a fitful night's sleep which followed the reduction of his commanding 10-0 advantage to 10-6.

		An unseeded Embassy World Championship finalist was guaranteed on Thursday when Wayne Mardle sent world number four Ronnie Baxter tumbling out of the tournament in a Lakeside thriller.
		Mardle, known as the `Mouth of the South´, will meet John `Boy´ Walton on Saturday afternoon for a place in the final - and on the form the duo are showing it should be a match to savour.
		World number nine Mardle, from Dagenham, had tipped himself to go all the way after he had put out fifth seed Co Stompe in the second round - and the way he started Thursday´s match suggested his confidence was not misplaced.

		On the opening day of the tournament, glamorous Michaela Tabb became the first woman to referee at the World Championship, and is about as far removed from the snooker stereotype as you could possibly get.
		Although Michaela will be keeping a close eye on the world's best players, she is also a hotshot with a cue herself.
		Now she has turned her hand to refereeing and although Michaela may just be starting out, it seems that she has already begun to change the face of snooker.
