Dennis Taylor at 36 if you are looking at a first time World Champion, otherwise its Reardon at 45 in 1978 and Spencer at 41 in 1977

Fu vs Gould.

Taylor in 1985 at 36 years, 4 months. Reardon was older when he won his first but that was pre-Crucible in 1970.

buck sake 2 scots drawn together! :/

Typical. World Snooker mucked up the draw!

I watched it live and I had one guy telling me Ronnie had Hull and another guy saying it was Holt.

Angles wanted to be drawn against Higgins or Mags though.

At least you're guaranteed one in round 2

Can see Selby losing in his opener

Cant wait for perry burnett

I prefer the scots to meet in the semis lol

Very suspicious that Ronnie gets the lowest ranked of all the qualifiers

Looks like robbo v allen will happen , even mark cant manage to mess up v holt.

Well Mags and Higgins are in different quarters in the same half.

Ronnie v Hull huh...

I don't think Selby will lose that one to be honest but he'll have to be on his game.
