Clive Everton is a British veteran BBC snooker commentator & journalist. He began his BBC career on the radio, but has been commentating on the television from the 1978 World Championship through to the present. Everton was a talented amateur billiards player, reaching both the 1975 & 1977 world semi-finals, where in the latter he exascerbated a back injury forcing an early retirement from the highest level of the game. Unlike snooker, billiards has never been a sport generating sustainable incomes & Everton has enjoyed a varied career as a result. He has covered Soccer, Rugby & Tennis for various British newspapers & has authored several books on snooker, as well as being the founding editor of the long-running Snooker Scene Magazine. He also played county-level tennis for Worcestershire for some 13 years & has managed Jonah Barrington, the former Squash world No. 1. But it is as snooker commentator that he is now best known to the millions of fans of the sport in the UK who tune in to watch the four events from the calendar that the BBC covers each year.
