	The Global Snooker Centre
		Joe Johnson winning the world championship was the biggest shock this great event had ever witnessed but, make no mistake, he was a very good player but one whose achievements had never quite matched his talent - until then.
		Joe got off to a slow start as a professional, never getting beyond the qualifying stages of his first four world championships.
		In his spare time Joe sings with a band or at least he used to, claiming to have the best voice among the top players of his era.

	Snooker: Murphy claims his crown \| Snooker \| Guardian Unlimited Sport
		And yet there was a whiff of destiny about his 18-16 triumph over Matthew Stevens, a player whose natural expression is that of a man who fears he may have mislaid his winning lottery ticket and who certainly lost his way here after starting the day with a four-frame overnight lead.
		Snooker crowds, like night-clubbers and those who go to Ken Dodd's famous five-hour gigs, carry with them the naughty notion that they might miss the last bus home.
		The older player's frustrations were never more evident than in the 22nd frame, the one in which Murphy drew level, which lasted almost 41 minutes.

		The cue-ball is said to be snookered when a direct stroke in a straight line to every ball on is wholly or partially obstructed by a ball or balls not on.
		If a player or side is more points behind than are available from the balls left on the table, then the laying of snookers in the hope of gaining points from fouls becomes most important.
		In the latter case it must be assumed the striker is attempting to hit the ball on provided that he plays, directly or indirectly, in the direction of the ball on with sufficient strength, in the referee’s opinion, to have reached the ball on but the obstructing ball or balls.

	SHAUN TO BE KING - Snooker - Sport - Mirror.co.uk
		Joe Johnson, the 150-1 outsider who won the world title almost two decades ago, is convinced the 22-year-old from Rotherham has what it takes to dominate the game like Stephen Hendry did in his prime.
		Johnson is perfectly qualified to pass judgment on Murphy because he spent a large part of last year coaching him.
		Johnson's spell coaching the youngster gave him a first-hand look at the talent that could conquer the world.

		Who are the top 16 Snooker players of all time is a question that gets asked in my local club from time to time usually followed by a lengthy debate, not about the top four or five particularly but more specifically the six to ten group.
		There are those who argue that the best player ever to pick up a cue was Joe Davis due to the fact that he set all the meaningful records and won 15 world championships.
		If you have a view or perhaps an anecdote about a player from the past, please feel free to e-mail it to me, I will gladly publish any that I feel are interesting or perhaps, humorous.

		His achievements so far have reminded me very much of Joe Johnson's dazzling displays on his way to glory back in 1986.
		Johnson, a 150-1 outsider back then, was an unlikely hero but played out of his skin over the 17 days when it mattered most.
		Whether Wallace can repeat Johnson's feat of going all the way, only time will tell but, with Joe Swail and Ronnie O'Sullivan blocking his route to the final, it would take a colossal effort.
