Jon Wright Biography

Jon Wright is one of the most popular and richest Snooker Player who was born on August 10, 1962 in Belfast, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom. In 1962, Wright was the first player to play competitive Snooker in

1984. He took part in the two WPBSA Pro Ticket events; He made it to the finals of Event One, losing 4-5 to David Roe, but won Event Two beating Roe 5-1. Jon was twice a representative of England at the World Amateur Snooker Championship (1984 and 1985) and reached the semi-finals in 1984. In the years between, he was an ongoing winner on the highly lucrative Pro-Am circuit and was well-known for his ability to build break-building.

In 1987, at the World Championship, he overcame Pat Houlihan, Paddy Browne, Mark Wildman and Cliff Wilson and whitewashed Wildman 10-0 – in order to get into the first round in the proper format in the Crucible Theatre. Playing in a match against Alex Higgins, Wright led 4-2, but ultimately fell to a 6-10 loss. His performance was enough to see him finish the season in 53rd position.

1992/1993 would be Wright’s final season as a professional; he lost to Darren Morgan in the last 64 at the 1993 European Open, but thereafter did not play another match. In September 1992, he was found guilty of ‘conduct unbecoming a professional sportsman’ during a 3–5 qualifying defeat to Allison Fisher in the Dubai Classic, and suspended for the rest of the season. He was relegated from the tour in 1993.

Defeats at the same stage of the Grand Prix and the Classic the following year – 5–0 by Steve Davis and by the same scoreline to Danny Fowler – began a terminal decline in Wright’s career, although he again came close to a Crucible return in the 1992 World Championship. There, he beat Lawlor 10–7, the ageing Williams 10–2 and Jason Whittaker 10–6 to reach the final qualifying round, but lost 3–10 to Bob Chaperon.

The 1987/88 season was not a time of any real improvement for Wright and he was beaten in the final 64 of the International Open, the Grand Prix and the Classic and was beaten by Tony Meo, Jimmy White and Tony Knowles respectively, although Wright came within a round of his second Crucible appearance, falling 4-10 to Hendry during the qualifying round to compete in his place in the World Championship.
