Clive Everton, the celebrated snooker commentator, has died at the age of 87.
A fixture on BBC TV for over 30 years from the 1970s, Everton was highly respected as both a broadcaster and journalist.
In addition to his broadcasting career, Everton was also a professional snooker player, turning professional in 1981 and achieving a highest ranking of world No. 47 during his decade-long career.
The World Snooker Tour released a statement honouring him as “one of snooker’s greatest commentators and the voice of the sport.” They added, “Everton devoted his life to snooker and covered some of the sport’s most historic moments as a broadcaster and journalist.”
This week, players at the British Open in Cheltenham are competing for the Clive Everton Trophy, named in his honour two years ago.
