Player profile

THE late Kevin Burles, of Hobart, was an enigmatic person, winning the Australian snooker championship in 1959 and 1960 only to be suspended for 18 years, returning in 1978 and again winning the Australian title.

During the 1979 event, in Adelaide, Burles suffered a heart attack and died, leaving the question, how many championships could he have won.

Burles also won three Tasmanian snooker championships and two Tasmanian billiards championships.
