Last night, World Snooker (WST) announced the annual awards for the end of the season, Allen was named Player of the Year, and 1979 British Championship champion and famous TV commentator John Vigo was inducted into the Hall of Fame.

Let's take a look at the big names in the Snooker Hall of Fame? See table:

(For all members of the Order of the British Empire on the list, I have OBE or MBE after their English names.) What is OBE and MBE? See the public number: The snooker players who won the Order of the British Empire)

In 2011, after Hearn took office, he was inducted into the Hall of Fame for the first time. At first glance, before 2016, there seemed to be only one criterion for induction into the Hall of Fame, a world championship champion. This seems to completely disregard the influence of the players' times and their contribution to the development of snooker; Especially in 2013 (the first session pulled 8, there are no words), pulled 7 at once, a little foolish. Wait until the world champions are all in before it is the turn of the others. Not to mention Ding Junhui, for example, if the fans are asked to choose White and Dort (not at all meant to disparage the players, just on the matter), who will enter the Hall of Fame? I think most people's answer would be White. So, the order of this Hall of Fame induction is a bit of a stretch. And engage in 7 at once, do not give some space for the later selection?

But it's a good thing, Ding Junhui was also selected in 2018, and he was selected together with the chairman Boss He.

In the list, many people are thunderous, and there are two unfamiliar. First, Sindhu Perslivan, a Thai, the introduction of the WPBSA official website is the "father of Asian snooker", and he has served as the chairman of the Thai Taiwan Association for a long time, which must have made a pioneering contribution to the development of snooker in Asia. second, Brandon Parker, the old gentleman has passed away due to illness; Parker is a former director of World Snooker and has spared no effort in promoting snooker in continental Europe.
