Traditionally a very white-dominated sport, snooker has done great work in attracting Asian players into the game, but there continues to be an obvious lack of diversity when it comes to the Black community.
It is far from the only sport which is predominantly white at elite level, but there are few televised sports that have quite so few Black representatives.
Since first turning professional in 1991, Rory McLeod has been the only Black player competing in snooker’s biggest tournaments on a regular basis.
Speaking earlier this year, McLeod told Eurosport, ‘maybe snooker is still in the dark ages’ when it comes to diversity.
Lee Stephens is another rare example of a Black player who can produce world class snooker, proving himself to be one of the finest players outside the professional ranks when he reached the WSF Championship Final earlier this year.
