Peter Ebcon?

That’s almost too highbrow. I love it. But it’s not right.

No skin off my nose

He had lost the helmet of hair that once adorned his shapely bonce.

Bingo!

The keenest-eyed of the knowledgeable Crucible crowd will also have spotted the merkin stuffed into his coat pocket.

Of course, Mr. Ebdon wasn’t the only rookie snooker hipster sporting a pony-tail back then. Who was the other young fellow who also boasted one, leading my dad to describe him as “looking like a tortured artist” ?

doherty?

No, he wouldn’t suit one, and looks more like a pi55 artist than a tortured artist

Was it Ron or was that more a topknot.

Don’t remember a tail with RO’S. Topknot, aye, Alice Band, sure; Dickensian facial hair - say no more.

But not a ponytail as far as I’m aware, and I don’t think he could pull off the tortured artist look either.

sexy Fergal?

No.

Kirk Stevens?

No, you’re looking for someone from the same era as a young Ebdon

Bob Chaperon had a bit of a mullet, if that counts

It doesn’t count, not in this game

Keep thinking Steve James.

Another mullet, but not a ponytail; don’t think he’d have got away with it in Cannock

And he didn’t have the tortured artist look either - he was more like a busted flush

Mc manus?

Noo yer bein’ silly

Gary Wilkinson?

Darren Morgan?

Neither of these chaps; Gary Wilkinson looked like my friend’s flatmate in the early 90s (neither sporting north hair than they needed) and Darren Morgan’s hair was like a poodle’s coat.

New Zealander Dene Okane

I like your thinking… I’m not convinced he had one, but he’s certainly the sort who might…

But, too early. O’Kane was a pro’ through much of the 80s, the answer to the question turned over in the 90s, shortly after the original ponytail, Ebdon.

Drew Henry?

Oh no, Drew was too staid.

Last attempt, Anthony Hamilton

It certainly is the last attempt, for to anyone to continue guessing after you have provided us with the correct answer would be the height of stupidity.

Yes, the erstwhile ‘Robin Hood of Snooker’, the ‘Sheriff of Pottingham’ himself, wore a ponytail in the mid 90s whilst looking like he could lop his ear off at a perceived poor safety at any given moment

Well done, Mr. Side
