| KEN DOHERTY became the first man to have won both the Amateur World Championship and the Professional World Championship, when he lifted the Crucible trophy in 1997 after ending Stephen Hendry's five-year spell in the competition. (He has also won the World Under-21 Championship!) The following year he was runner-up to John Higgins. Ken Doherty's other ranking wins came in the 1993 and 2001 Welsh Open, the 2000 Rothmans Malta Grand Prix and the 2006 Malta Cup.
