Six-time world champion Ray Reardon has died at the age of 91, World Snooker has announced.
Wales’ Reardon was widely regarded as one of snooker’s greatest-ever players. He passed away on Friday night after a battle with cancer.
Nicknamed ‘Dracula’, he dominated the World Championship in the 1970s.
Leading the tributes, three-time Crucible king Mark Williams said: “Ray is one of the best sports people ever from Wales and the best snooker player. He’s one of the reasons why a lot of us started playing. He put snooker on the map, alongside Alex Higgins, Jimmy White and Steve Davis.
“Anyone playing now owes them a lot because they brought popularity to the game. He is a real inspiration.”
