Snooker fan, 75, who banked £25k on first Crucible visit reveals how he’ll spend the money
Mark Allen made history with a magical Crucible 147. The ‘Pistol’, 39, etched his name in the record books as he became the first player ever to make a maximum break in all three Triple Crown majors — World Championship, UK Championship and Masters — during his second round match with Chris Wakelin.
Allen is in line to pocket £45,000 for the feat, if it is not matched, which saw a lucky fan scoop a £25,000 sponsor’s prize for a ‘Midnite Maximum’.
