One of snooker’s most iconic voices, Clive Everton, has passed away aged 87 years old. 

The player, broadcaster and journalist devoted his life to snooker and reported on some of the sport’s greatest-ever moments during his illustrious career. 

He was awarded an MBE in 2019 for his services to snooker, with Everton also a member of the Snooker Hall of Fame. 

Fellow snooker commentator David Hendon commented via the WST’s official website: “Clive Everton deserves to be remembered as one of the most significant figures in snooker history.

He reached a highest world ranking of 47th but it was off the table where he made a vast and varied contribution, primarily as a broadcaster and journalist but also as the trusted conscience of the sport.”
