English professional snooker player Gary Wilson thrilled fans this week at the Oldham Snooker Academy, producing a stunning display that included three century breaks.
The 40-year-old from Wallsend in North Tyneside, Tyne and Wear, took centre stage at the club’s latest snooker exhibition held at the Waddington Street venue.
Noted for his cue ball control and break-building ability, Wilson has won three ranking titles, the Scottish Open in 2022 and 2023, and the 2024 Welsh Open.
He was also runner-up at the 2015 China Open and the 2021 British Open, as well as reaching the semi-final of the 2019 World Championship as a qualifier.
Event organiser, Mohammed Nisar said: “The event was brilliant. An absolute steal at £10 to watch a Top 15 player. He scored three century breaks which was outstanding.”
