Wasn't Thorburn the first player to make a televised 147 break? I'm sure plenty of other players had made maximum breaks before that in the World Championship — Thorburn's distinction was to do it before the TV cameras. Can anybody confirm or deny? R Lowry 09:06, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] yes he was the first in World Championship play

Yes, Cliff ran the first perfect 147 break in World Championship play. Steve Davis ran a televised 147, but not in World Championships. F Kirk, Toronto

Well, I guess we can call that a consensus -- I've updated the article. R Lowry 13:47, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Can sombody tell me who made a 147 in the World Championship before Thorburn? I don't think there were any. I'll be correcting this shortly unless someone says different. Ian Cheese 19:28, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
