Commentator of the Year
Clive Everton (Sky Sports / BBC Sport)
Some might say, the voice of snooker. Over thirty years with the BBC, Everton's insightful knowledge combined with his journalistic vocabulary makes him one of the game's leading experts.
David Hendon (Eurosport / Perform Group)
Hendon, is another who combines his journalistic skills with a knowledge of the game. He provides comment that is unbiassed and unaffected by history, welcoming the new breed of players as a natural progression in the game.
Rolf Kalb (Eurosport)
Helping to drive the popularity of snooker in Germany through commentary on Eurosport. A bit of an all-rounder, who again relies more on the journalism than previous snooker experience.
Willie Thorne (BBC Sport)
Love it or hate it, Willie's comment has become a thing of snooker folklore. A talking point at the very least. Star of Strictly Come Dancing in the UK, the former Mercantile Credit Classic champion has developed a number of Willie-isms including the 'flat-back pack'.
