As the snooker year has now reached its end, a few days ago I tweeted to ask for your most memorable moments of 2013 and as promised, you can find a mix of replies below. Was your moment one of those mentioned, or was there something else that stuck in your mind this year? Let me know @prosnookerblog…
Ronnie having a year off and winning the Worlds. I can’t take #SPOTY serious now he hasnt made the shortlist
Ding wins three ranking titles in a row
Steve Davis wins World Senior Title
Idiot Punter @Quick_asyoulike
N Foulds retelling the Clive Everton curry incident
visiting the crucible for the first time and being treated to a tour by @WorldSnooker1 and witnessing @ronnieo147 win 5th WC
ronnie winning world championship
Mark Selby pots the 16th black of 147 for the first time in snooker history into the middle pocket.

lovely to see Dechawat get a maxi too.Probably never win a trophy so for him to be able to always look back at that is great
Tough call. So many! PTC Grand Final, Murphy v Trump at worlds, Ding’s entire year, Neil completing the triple crown.
Ronnie winning the World Championships and Mark Selby’s 147 was great to watch! #snookerhighlights
Ronnie’s comeback to retain his championship and Ding winning three rankings events on the trot, both very impressive.
Neil Robertson wins UK Championship and completes Triple Crown
Great Q.In absence WC classic, I’d say Ballrun’s smash up from 8-3 down. Bring back the World Cup 2!
Secret Snookerplayer @SecretSnooker
mike Dunn coming off twitter was a highlight
1. SqueakyChairGate in Coventry 2. Drago meltdown in qualifying (this year?) 3. O’Sullivan world win
Definetly Ronnie thrashing everybody at the world championships!
seeing Dings 147 live at PTC grand finals. Only missed 1frame all week. First time getting to a tournament! Amazing week
the Paul Hunter Classic in Furth and there watching young Lukas Kleckers
Mehta and Advani’s success in the new Indian Open.
one of the best matches was the Welsh Open final
Snooker Island @snookerisland
Ding v Fu final was one of them.
Every @Stuart__Bingham defeat mainly … 🙂
there were a few to me. ROS 5th WC under the circumstances, Ding winning in China, Pankaj and Aditya run in India. Neil completing the “triple crown” last week. 2/2

Personally Trump/Murphy from the World’s was the best match of the year comfortably.
Really enjoyed seeing Carter win in Berlin and Maguire in Wales. Both very big, personal titles for the players involved
Ronnie’s world champ…. #nuffsaid
Selby’s 147 at the UK. The clearance on the colours was magic.
Cliff Thorburn’s trip to Sheffield. But how did he get there?!
“When I heard Ronnie has to play again to get money for his kid’s education… WB Rocket! 😀
Poomjaeng’s heroics and three misses at the Crucible.
Jim The Judge @JimTheJudge
Neil winning 4-0 with 4 centuries and his opponent not potting a ball!
The Whirlwind back on the BBC a couple of weeks ago. Wrong result, but great to see him there. And his ITV 4 documentary.
Ronnie winning the Worlds, Selby making the 100th Maximum and Ding winning in China #snookerhighlights
the end of St. Lee’s snooker career, 3 maxis in 5 days, @ronnieo147‘s controversial play, good snooker coverage by bloggers.
As someone who grew up watching Steve Davis holding aloft trophies,my highlight was seeing him do that again @ World Seniors
