==Career==
At age 15, Small was the number 1 under-19 player in Scotland. He turned professional the following year.<ref name="career">[https://archive.today/20131130052815/http://www.chrissmallsnookercoaching.co.uk/Biography.php Career details on Chris Small website]</ref> In 1992, he won the Benson & Hedges Championship, defeating [[Alan McManus]] in the final, and in 1995 he reached the Semi-finals of the [[1995 Welsh Open (snooker)|Welsh Open]],<ref name="career"/> and was again a semi-finalist at the [[1998 Grand Prix (snooker)|1998 Grand Prix event]].
His greatest achievement was winning the [[2002 LG Cup (snooker)|2002 LG Cup]], beating [[Ronnie O'Sullivan]] and [[John Higgins]], before a 9–5 win over [[Alan McManus]] in the final. This followed a season in which he won only three matches, owing to the severity of his medical condition.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/other_sports/snooker/lg_cup/2325455.stm|title=Small claims biggest prize|date=14 October 2002|via=news.bbc.co.uk|access-date=5 July 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200324150302/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/other_sports/snooker/lg_cup/2325455.stm|archive-date=24 March 2020|url-status=live}}</ref> He reached the quarter-finals of the LG Cup in the following season.

The 2003/2004 season ended with him having to pull out of a [[2004 World Snooker Championship|World Championship]] match against [[Alan McManus]] while trailing 1–7, as the regular steroid injections he required in his neck caused problems with his vision.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/general/snooker-opening-day-at-sheffield-comes-with-a-small-eruption-56442.html|title=Snooker: Opening day at Sheffield comes with a Small eruption|date=21 September 2013|website=The Independent|access-date=17 August 2021|archive-date=20 August 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190820192053/https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/general/snooker-opening-day-at-sheffield-comes-with-a-small-eruption-56442.html|url-status=live}}</ref> The [[2004–05 snooker season|2004–05 season]] was disastrous for him, as he lost all his ranking tournament matches, and in September 2005 he announced his retirement from the game. Small then started coaching other players, but by 2009 his condition had worsened, and he had to give up coaching.<ref name="coach"/>

Despite being the youngest player ever to win on his [[Crucible Theatre|Crucible]]<!--Wikilink needed for this term-of-art.--> debut (10–7 against [[Doug Mountjoy]] aged 18 in 1992), he never progressed beyond the last-16 in the [[World Snooker Championship|World Championship]]. He was a regular in the top 32 for several years, but his LG Cup win helped him reach #12 for the [[2004–05 snooker season|2004–05 season]], the only time he had entered the top 16. His career-high break was a 141.

He applied for a grant from a trust fund for players who have fallen on hard times from the [[World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association]], but was rejected.<ref name="Scotsman18492007">{{cite news |title=Ex-snooker star Chris gives up cash battle |url=https://www.scotsman.com/news/ex-snooker-star-chris-gives-cash-battle-2513031 |date=30 July 2008 |work=The Scotsman |access-date=17 August 2021}}</ref> This decision, stemming from Small's refusal to provide a £250 medical certificate, has been criticised by figures including [[Jimmy White]], [[Graeme Dott]] ("Everybody in the game that I've spoken to is behind him")<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.prosnookerref.co.uk/blog/|title=Eirian Williams - Snooker Refereeing The Professional Way|date=23 August 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070823001722/http://www.prosnookerref.co.uk/blog/|archive-date=23 August 2007}}</ref> and [[Clive Everton]].<ref name="Ex Snooker Star Chris gives up"/>

In 2012, improved medication allowed Small to return to coaching, one of his players being former snooker professional [[Michael Leslie]].<ref name="coach"/>
