- Q538277 abstract "Len Ganley MBE (27 April 1943 – 28 August 2011) was a Northern Irish snooker referee. He visited England in 1971 to spend a ten-day holiday with his sister in Burton-upon-Trent, and remained in England.Born in Lurgan, County Armagh, Northern Ireland, he became a full-time referee after working as a milkman and bus driver when he first arrived in Burton-on-Trent. He played snooker when he lived in Northern Ireland and won various local titles in Britain and Ireland. His highest break was 136.He refereed four World Snooker Championship finals between 1983 and 1993, including 1990 when Stephen Hendry became the youngest World Champion. Another career highlight was the 1983 UK Snooker Championship final between Alex Higgins and Steve Davis. Another famous match he refereed in his later career was Ronnie O'Sullivan's fastest 147 v. Mick Price in the 1997 World Championship first round.Although a non-drinker, Ganley also appeared in a Carling Black Label beer advert on TV in the early 1980s, in which he crushed a snooker ball with his gloved hand in a match between Terry Griffiths and John Spencer, after Spencer had knocked the ball off the table.Ganley was the subject of the Half Man Half Biscuit tribute song "The Len Ganley Stance". He retired in 1999 and suffered a heart attack in 2002. His son Mike Ganley is the WPBSA Tournament Director.Ganley, who suffered from diabetes, died on 28 August 2011, aged 68. His family requested that people donated to the Paul Hunter Foundation rather than sending flowers. Steve Davis said: "Len did a very good job of being a referee and a personality at the same time. A referee is supposed to be unseen and he liked the limelight, but he still managed to do the job properly. He was a great character off the table, but in the arena he was an excellent referee. He knew the game as a player, having made century breaks himself, so when he was in charge of your match it was nice to know how well he understood the game.". He is credited with inventing the device that marks the position of the cue ball while it is removed by the referee for cleaning.".
