Nu sunt fana Alan McManus dar m-am gandit ca n-ar strica sa aflam cate ceva despre el dat fiind ca nu prea e "prieten" cu lumina reflectoarelor. Am dat un search pe google si uitati ce-am aflat:
World ranking: 10

Career prize money (up to start of 2004-2005 season): &1,990,020
Highest tournament break: 143 - Embassy World Championship 1994

Din 1992 este in top 16 si de atunci nu a mai iesit de acolo.
He has twice been a semi-finalist at the Crucible, losing 16-7 to Jimmy White in 1992 and 16-8 to Stephen Hendry the following year.
Alan McManus was not one of those players who grabbed the headlines as a teenager but snooker did not have a very high profile in Scotland at that time. His first victory of any note came in the 1988/9 season when he won the Krystal Klear under 19 tournament. The following season, although he won the Legal and General Open, he failed by one point to gain a place in the pro-ticket play-offs but the number of qualifiers was increased and he was reinstated. He won the Northern final of the English Amateur championship but lost to Joe Swail in the National final. After winning the 1990 Scottish Amateur title he won the pro-ticket qualifiers to earn a place on the main tour for the 1990/1 season.
The highlight of the cricket fan’s career came at the 1994 Masters, when he beat Hendry 9-8 in an exciting final to deny his Scottish rival a sixth consecutive Wembley title. McManus followed that up by claiming his first ranking title, beating Peter Ebdon 9-6 in the final of the Dubai Classic.
His second ranking success also came overseas in the 1996 Thailand Open in Bangkok. McManus held his nerve in a series of tight matches, beating Alain Robidoux and James Wattana 5-4, Ebdon 6-5 and Ken Doherty 9-8 in the final.
A member of the Scottish 'Dream Team' who triumphed in the 1996 Castrol-Honda World Cup, McManus was reunited with Hendry and John Higgins at Reading in January 2001, and they went on to win the Coalite Nations Cup, beating the Republic of Ireland 6-2 in the final.
Cel mai inalt loc ocupat in clasamentul general: 6 (sezoanele 93-94 si 96-97)

| Alan a cazut din Top 16 apoi din Top 32 si apoi si din Top 48 ( daca nu ma insel). Sper sa-l vedem jucand mai bine in sezoanele ce urmeaza.

(greu de crezut fiindca lovitura de distanta il tradeaza, dar e jucator de cursa lunga care are rabdare mai ales in jocurile incalcite
