Tony Meo

Template:Short description Template:Good article Template:Use dmy dates Template:Use British English Template:Infobox snooker player Anthony Christian Meo (born 4 October 1959) is a retired English snooker player. He won the 1989 British Open by defeating Dean Reynolds 13–6 in the final, and was runner-up to Steve Davis at the 1984 Classic. He won four World Doubles Championship titles, partnering Davis, and the 1983 World Team Classic representing England alongside Davis and Tony Knowles.

He played snooker together with his schoolfriend Jimmy White as a teenager. Aged seventeen, Meo became the then-youngest person known to have made an unofficial maximum break of 147. He won the British under-19 title in 1978, as well as other junior titles. He turned professional in 1979, and won the 1981 Australian Masters, 1983 Thailand Masters and 1985 Australian Masters. He reached the final of the 1984 Lada Classic but lost in the Template:Cuegloss. He took the 1986 English Professional Championship title, and retained it in 1987. He made a break of 147 in his 1988 Matchroom League match against Stephen Hendry, and won the 1990 International League.

He retired from professional play after the 1996–97 snooker season and became a wrist watch consultant. In 1986, Meo was one of five players under Barry Hearn's management (along with Davis, Terry Griffiths, Willie Thorne and Dennis Taylor) who appeared on "Snooker Loopy", a hit single about the game recorded with Chas & Dave.

Facing Higgins, Meo was ahead after their first Template:Cuegloss, and at 9–8 was a Template:Cuegloss away from winning before Higgins took the last two frames with breaks of 77 and 62 to claim victory.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

At the 1980 UK Championship, Meo eliminated defending champion Virgo 9–1 before losing to Steve Davis in the quarter-finals.Template:Sfn The 1981 English Professional Championship saw Meo eliminate Virgo, Graham Miles and Willie Thorne to reach the final.Template:Sfn Meo finished as runner-up, losing 3–9 to Davis.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Meo recorded his third win against Virgo in the season with a 10–6 win at the 1981 World Snooker Championship, making a break of 134 during the match.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> In the second round, Meo finished his first session with Terry Griffiths at 4–4, but only won two of the next eleven frames, with Griffiths taking the match 13–6.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

At the start of the 1981–82 snooker season, Meo won the 1981 Australian Masters, a short-format competition that saw two groups each of four professional players play one-frame round-robin matches, with the group winners then playing the final over three frames.Template:Sfn<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> He lost 3–9 to Griffiths in the semi-finals at the 1981 UK Championship after eliminating both Higgins and Thorburn.Template:Sfn Davis and Meo won the 1982 World Doubles Championship.<ref name="87HALE">Template:Cite book</ref> Meo also reached the semi-finals of the 1982 Masters.Template:Sfn The 1982 UK Championship was a repeat of 1981 in that he reached the semi-finals and lost to Griffiths, this time 7–9.Template:Sfn He reached the World Championship quarter-finals for the first time at the 1983 tournament, and finished the season by winning the 1983 Pontins Brean Sands tournament, with a 9–7 final victory against Silvino Francisco.Template:Sfn

Steve Davis (pictured in 2014) and Meo won four World Doubles Championships together.

In the 1983–84 snooker season, he won the 1983 Thailand Masters,<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> and was a semi-finalist at the 1983 Professional Players Tournament.Template:Sfn In December 1983, Davis and Meo retained the World Doubles Championship.<ref name="87HALE" /> The following month, they faced each other in the final of the Lada Classic. Meo had reached the final by eliminating Rex Williams 5–3, Kirk Stevens 5–2 and Mark Wildman 5–3. After losing the first two frames in the final, Meo established a 4–2 lead, which was reduced to 4–3 after Davis won the concluding frame of the first session with a 122 Template:Cuegloss. In the second session, Davis took the first four frames, compiling six breaks of 35 or more. Meo claimed the next four frames, to require just one more frame at 8–7, having recovered from more than 40 Template:Cuegloss behind in both the 12th and 15th frames. Davis won the 16th frame with a break of 84 to force a Template:Cuegloss. Davis built a lead of 38 points, but Meo recovered to 12 points behind with a break of 26. Meo only needed to clear the Template:Cuegloss to win the title, but missed potting the Template:Cuegloss after being distracted by a shout of "Come on, Tony" from a spectator. Davis went on to win the frame and match.Template:Sfn<ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref>

The non-ranking 1984 Malaysian Masters was the only final that Meo reached in 1984–85 snooker season, but he retained his ranking of tenth for 1985–86.Template:Sfn<ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref> He won the 1985 Australian Masters by defeating John Campbell 7–2 in the final,Template:Sfn and the 1986 English Professional Championship. In the latter, he defeated Davis 9–7 in the semi-finals, his first victory over Davis in their eleven professional matches against each other. In the final, Meo led Neal Foulds 3–1, but the first session finished with the pair level at 3–3. Meo was a frame ahead at 4–3 and 5–4, with Foulds then taking the next two frames to lead for the first time in the match at 6–5. Meo added the 12th frame, but Foulds moved ahead again by claiming the 13th. Meo won the next three frames for a 9–7 victory, finishing with a break of 94 in the 16th frame.<ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref>

The 1987 English Professional Championship saw him retain the title by defeating Les Dodd 9–5 in the final, but his ranking tournament performances in the 1986–87 snooker season meant he slipped from 11th to 20th place in the rankings, and his results in the following season saw him fall to 31st in the 1988/1989 rankings.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref> He compiled a maximum break of 147 in his 1988 Matchroom League match against Stephen Hendry.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

In the 1988–89 snooker season, he reached the quarter-finals of the 1988 International Open. At the 1989 British Open he eliminated Colin Roscoe 5–3, then the defending champion Hendry and Peter Francisco, each by the same scoreline. In the semi-final against Mike Hallett, Meo was two frames behind with three to play at 6–8. He won the 15th frame by a single point after requiring two Template:Cuegloss, then added the next two frames to win 9–8. In the final, he played Dean Reynolds, and won each of the first two sessions 5–2, thus leading 10–4 by the third session. Reynolds reduced his deficit to 6–10, but Meo won the next three frames to claim victory at 13–6 and achieve his first ranking title victory. Before the tournament, he had been rated as a 200–1 outsider to win.Template:Sfn In the post-match speeches, Reynolds complained that he had been "totally bored" by Meo's cautious style of play. Meo acknowledged that "It wasn't very spectacular" and added that he felt that it was "the best tactical snooker" that he had ever played.Template:Sfn

Meo was a semi-finalist at the World Championship, losing 7–16 to John Parrott. His performances in ranking tournaments led to him moving up from 31st place to 14th in the rankings for the following season, during which he won the round-robin 1990 International League by winning four of his five matches, and drawing the other one.Template:Sfn<ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref> However, in the following years, he failed to reach as far as the quarter-finals in any ranking tournament, and his ranking fell one place to 15th, then out of the top 32.Template:Sfn<ref name="RANK" /> Meo was ranked 160th after the 1996–97 snooker season, but did not participate in any further tournaments in the following seasons.<ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref> He became a wrist watch consultant.<ref name="WHERE">Template:Cite magazine</ref>

In 1982, Meo signed up to be managed by Barry Hearn, Davis's manager.Template:Sfn With Davis, Meo won four World Doubles titles, and was also part of the victorious England team at the 1983 World Team Classic. In 1986, Meo was one of five players under Hearn's management (along with Davis, Griffiths, Thorne and Dennis Taylor) who appeared on "Snooker Loopy", a hit single about the game recorded with Chas & Dave.<ref name="Eurosport"/> He was nicknamed "The Cat" and "Meo, Meo".<ref name="Eurosport">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The highest ranking that he attained was tenth.<ref name="Eurosport" />

Personal life

By 1981, Meo had married Denise,<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> and in 1991 they had their fourth child.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> After retiring from snooker in 1997, Meo managed a wristwatch and jewellery store in Hatton Garden.<ref name="WHERE"/><ref name="Eurosport"/>
