Description
Edward Francis Charlton, AM was an Australian professional snooker and English billiards player. He remains the only player to have been world championship runner-up in both snooker and billiards without winning either title. Eddie Charlton ranked with the fabulous Lindrums among champion Australian cuemen. He dominated Australian snooker from the early 1960s onwards and held the World Open Championship and the World Matchplay Championship. In the fiercely competitive international scene, he was runner-up in the World Professional Championship twice and has won the popular BBC television series Pot Black three times. Eddie’s brilliant career record includes the remarkable feat of having beaten eight world champions – Horace Lindrum, Fred Davis, John Pulman, John Spencer, Alex Higgins, Ray Reardon, Terry Griffiths and Steve Davis.
Eddie passed away in 2004 aged 75. The cue was signed not long before he passed.
