==Only player from outside British Isles to win tournament?==
Hi, What about Ken Doherty in 1997?
[edit] Televised first, not true first?
Wasn't Thorburn the first player to make a televised 147 break? I'm sure plenty of other players had made maximum breaks before that in the World Championship — Thorburn's distinction was to do it before the TV cameras. Can anybody confirm or deny? R Lowry 09:06, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
- Yes he was the first in World Championship play Cliff ran the first perfect 147 break in World Championship play. Steve Davis ran a televised 147, but not in World Championships.
- F Kirk, Toronto

- Well, I guess we can call that a consensus -- I've updated the article. R Lowry 13:47, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
- Can sombody tell me who made a 147 in the World Championship before Thorburn? I don't think there were any. I'll be correcting this shortly unless someone says different. Ian Cheese 19:28, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
John Spencer made the first maximum in competition in 1979. Davis made the televised max in 1982. Thorburn made the first championship max in '83. 88.104.4.129 19:38, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Cliff's book
His book might make a good source for non-controversial details. — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont] ‹(-¿-)› 00:32, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Family / Not
I'm a Thorburn and my hometown is in Namibia, Windhoek. Since we are just a handful of Thorburn's over the world and every Thorburn i know are connected with eachother, he and i might be connected as well. I'm trying to make contact with him since 2005 and still no success.
Any help please????????
Pool/snooker runs in the Thorburn blood, that's almost all we do except for working.
