Late one for you. Do you remember a group called Showaddywaddy in the late 70's? Well if you recall they had a drummer called Romeo Challenger and some years ago his son Ben Challenger represents Great Britain at the High Jump - not sure what happened after that I think he switched allegiance and went with Jamaica instead.

A snooker factoid.
Although the first televised World Championship 147 maximum break at the Crucible Theatre was made by Cliff Thorburn in 1983 it was not the first ever televised maximum break overall.
That distinction fell to Steve Davis who achieved the feat in the 1982 Lada Classic and his prize was a Lada car.

A Lada car. Talk about an incentive NOT to get a maximum break

So that's what the pile of rust sitting in the corner of his garden is/was?
Makes sense now...

Some more Snooker factoids
This was one everyone pretty much knows but it still sounds good: Ronnie O'Sullivan plundered the fastest 147 maximum break in snooker history, at the 1997 World Championship making the perfect clearance in a bewilderingly rapid 5 minutes and 20 seconds against Mike Price.
Joe Davis won just £6.10s, after becoming the first World Champion in 1927. In 2018 the World Champion winner Mark Williams claimed a record £425,000.
There has only been one whitewash in a match at the World Championship, it came in the first round in 1992, when a 62 year old Australian Eddie Charlton was beaten 10-0 by defending champion John Parrott.
Only 2 players entered the 1931 World Championship, Tom Dennis, in whose pub the event was staged lost 25-21 to Joe Davis.
