Snooker, a sport that has been in a bit of controversy over the past few years for "match fixing". Former World Champion, John Higgins was one player who was actually video taped taking a bribe to fix one of his matches.
He was banned for six months and fined 75,000 pounds.
But let's really take a look at what's going on...
Two of Snooker's most successful players over the past thirty years, without doubt would be, Stephen Hendry and Steve Davis.
Again as in every sport, the birthdays are key.
Stephen Hendry was born on January 13th, 1969 or the written (13/1/69 in Europe). That's like my favorite number, 131!!!
Stephen holds the (modern era) record for the most World Championships.
He has won it seven (7) times.
Steve Davis was born on August 22nd, 1958.
August 22nd is the 234th day of the year, which leaves 131 days remaining!!
131 connection again!!!
Steve has won the World Snooker Championships six (6) times.
(Including a 13-1 (131) victory over Mike Hallett in 1988 on his way to his fifth title!)
According to Wikipedia Ken Doherty has 330 century breaks.
