Hanshin, that is not right. First world title for snooker was in 1927. It was cancelled between 1958 and 1963 and revived in 1964, where incidentally the winner was John Pulman.

APOLOGIES ALL!

I am not sure who starts the next question...
 
Have another go man

When James Kelly of N.Y. defeated J. J. Bowles of Ireland for the World Title in 1909 it was to be the last occasion for the Champions of both countries to play each other until the World Championships were inaugurated in 1964. During this period of separation the game in America began to move away from it's Irish roots and when the Americans returned to Ireland in the 70's they brought a very much changed game back with them.
