John Parrott has become one of snooker ’s most instantly recognisable
faces and has done much to popularise the sport both on and off
the table.
John has won tournaments in nine different countries and has been
ever-present at the Embassy World Professional Championships since
1984.He has reached eight quarter-finals, one semi-final and two
finals, beating Jimmy White 18-11 in the 1991 final to win snooker
’s greatest prize. He added the UK Championship for good measure
later that year and is one of only five players - Steve Davis, Stephen
Hendry, John Higgins and Ronnie O ’Sullivan are the others
- to have held both titles in the same year.
