Peter Ebdon

Peter David Ebdon (born 27 August 1970) is an English professional snooker player. He was World Champion in 2002, beating Stephen Hendry 18–17 in the final, and won the UK Championship in 2006 and 6 other ranking events between 1993 and 2006. He was also a losing finalist in the World Championship in 1996 and 2006. Ebdon turned professional in 1991 and soon made an impact by beating six-time world champion Steve Davis 10–4 in the first round of the 1992 World Championship and reaching the quarter-final stage.

Known for his slow and tactical style of play, Ebdon is regarded by many as one of the most intense competitors on the professional tour. His 13-12 win over Ronnie O'Sullivan in the 2005 World Snooker Championship is regarded as one of his finest, despite playing a style of snooker that critics described as "anti-snooker."
