John Parrott MBE (born 11 May 1964) in Liverpool, England, is an English professional snooker player.
Parrott also boasts 14 consecutive seasons in the top 16 of the snooker world rankings (the top 16 being the sacred number, as only those players qualify for tournaments automatically, with others having to play preliminary rounds to qualify).
Parrott is well known for being a sore loser blaming his defeats on bad luck but nevertheless his scouse wit has made him a popular television personality.
