Martin Clark (born 27 October 1968) is an English organiser of snooker tournaments and retired professional snooker player.
Career
Clark reached ten ranking tournament quarter-finals in his career, but never progressed any further. He reached the last 16 of the World Championship three times – 1991, 1992 and 1993, and also in 1992 reached the first major semi-final of his career at the World Matchplay by knocking out defending champion Gary Wilkinson.[1] He won two non-ranking events, defeating Ray Reardon in the final of the European Grand Masters in 1990 and Andy Hicks in the Pontins Professional in 1997.[2]
He retired as a pro player at a relatively young age, due to neck problems, and is now a tournament director.[3] He has also helped with equipment maintenance (e.g. checking the replacement cloths) at the World Snooker Championship.[4]
In November 2017, Belgian player Luca Brecel was forced to borrow clothes from Clark and fellow player Michael White after lifting the wrong suitcase at an airport in Shanghai.[5]
