Rory McLeod (snooker player)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rory McLeod is the only professional snooker player of West Indian heritage. Rory was raised in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire, where he attended Victoria Junior School, Westfield Boys School and Sir Christopher Hatton Comprehensive School. He first played snooker seriously at the Embassy Club, Wellingborough, in his early teens.

He has reached the last 32 of three ranking tournaments, most notably the 2005 Grand Prix although this victory against a noticeably ill Paul Hunter was bittersweet. His best results of 2004/2005 were 2 last-48 runs, the Welsh Open run including a victory over Shaun Murphy.
