• Own a piece of snooker history!

    It is not every day that you get the chance to own a piece of snooker history!  On that basis, today is not ‘every day’.

    We can bring you an exclusive opportunity you to get your hands the table that Mr. O’Sullivan won his second world title on in 2004.

    The same table has also been the practice table used by two-times world champion, Mark Williams since 2005.

    The Riley Aristocrat, with steel-block cushions, is the king among tables and has been used as the official table at the Crucible since 1994.

    Global-snooker caught up with Mark and he explained why he was selling the impressive piece of furniture.

    “I have recently moved house, again, and to be honest I just don’t play on it”.

    “I treat practise very much as anyone would treat their work and have disciplined myself to get out of the house early in the morning and drive to the club.  I guess that is my ‘office’ where I play for six or seven hours and then come home”.

    “There are too many distractions at home, it is too tempting to play with the kids or just watch TV”.

    These are expensive pieces of kit, and not built for your average home.  You need a room that is at least 22 feet long and 16 feet wide before you start.

    But, if you have the space then read on…

    We asked Mark how much something like this is worth.

    “It’s hard to say really, I guess it’s worth what someone is prepared to offer”.  I have seen a couple of genuine ones on E-Bay recently for £12,000, so I guess that is a bit of a guide”.

    Plus, with this table you have the added bonus of the history attached with Ronnie winning his second title on it at The Crucible, and there is a certificate of authenticity that would come with the table.

    I have also had the new ‘Hotwire’ system installed on it, which is fantastic and makes the table play even better”.

    I didn’t want to go down the E-Bay route with it, and I thought it would be great if a real snooker fan could enjoy the table, and so I am open to serious offers”.

    There you have it, if you want to get your hands on this superb table and own a piece of snooker history, you can contact Mark here.

    Email your contact details along with your offer and we will pass it on to Mark. 

    Good luck!
