Everything about Chris Small totally explained
Christopher Small (born
26 September 1973) is a
Scottish professional snooker player.
Small has suffered from the painful spinal disease
ankylosing spondylitis for the past few years.
His greatest achievement was winning the
LG Cup in 2002. Despite being the youngest player ever to win on his Crucible debut (10-7 against
Doug Mountjoy aged 18 in 1992) he never progressed beyond the last 16 in the
World Championship.
Small was ranked 12 for the
2004/2005 season, the only time he'd entered the top 16. However, by this time he'd already been forced out of the 2004 World Championship, after an experimental drug to help his back caused blurred vision. Although this was a temporary issue, no lasting solution has been found for his spine, and his season was a disaster, ending with 8 defeats from 8 matches and a tumble down the
rankings.
In September 2005, he announced his retirement from the game as a direct result of his illness. He has since gone into coaching.
In January 2007, he applied for a grant from a trust fund for players who have fallen on hard times from the
World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association but was rejected.
Chris has achieved cult status in the
Brighton area due to being the punchline of an onrunning joke, insinuating (perhaps in spite of his relative lack of success in tournament play) that he wins tournaments without even participating.
