'''Douglas James Mountjoy''' {{needs IPA}} (8 June 1942 – 14 February 2021) was a Welsh [[snooker]] player from [[:cy:Tir-y-Berth|Tir-y-Berth]], [[Gelligaer]], Wales. He was a member of the professional snooker circuit from the late 1970s and throughout the 1980s, and remained within the top 16 of the [[Snooker world rankings|world rankings]] for 11 consecutive years. He began his professional snooker career by taking the [[1977 Masters (snooker)|1977 Masters]], which he entered as a reserve player. He won both the [[1978 UK Championship]] and the [[1979 Irish Masters]]. Mountjoy reached the final of the [[1981 World Snooker Championship]] where he was defeated by [[Steve Davis]]. He was also runner-up at the [[1985 Masters (snooker)|1985 Masters]] losing to [[Cliff Thorburn]], but by 1988 he had dropped out of the top 16.

Mountjoy enjoyed a resurgence in his 40s, and at the age of 46 he defeated [[Stephen Hendry]] in the final of the [[1988 UK Championship]]. He followed up by also winning the next ranking event, the [[1989 Classic (snooker)|1989 Classic]], and by the end of the [[1988–89 snooker season|1988–89 season]] he was back in the top 16, where he remained until 1992. His world ranking peaked at number five in [[Snooker world rankings 1990/1991|1990–1991]]. He also won five [[Welsh Professional Championship]] titles during his career.

Diagnosed with [[lung cancer]] in 1993, Mountjoy qualified for the [[1993 World Snooker Championship|World Championship]] at the age of 50, just weeks before having a lung surgically removed. He continued to play professionally until 1997, and he was coach to the [[United Arab Emirates]] snooker association between 1997 and 1999 and appeared sporadically at the World Snooker Championship until [[2002 World Snooker Championship|2002]]. Mountjoy died in February 2021 after a stroke.

==Career==
Mountjoy's first professional tournament, which he entered as a late replacement, was the [[1977 Masters (snooker)|1977 Masters]] at the [[New London Theatre]].<ref name="Eurosport" /> After defeating former world champions [[John Pulman]], [[Fred Davis (snooker player)|Fred Davis]], and [[Alex Higgins]] to reach the final, he beat the defending Masters champion and reigning world champion [[Ray Reardon]] 7–6 to win the title.<ref name="WST" /><ref name="87HALE">{{cite book |last=Hale |first=Janice |date=1987 |title=Rothmans Snooker Yearbook 1987–88 |location=Aylesbury |publisher=Queen Anne Press |pages=129–133 |isbn=0356146901}}</ref>

At the [[1977 World Snooker Championship|1977 World Championship]] a couple of months later, he defeated Higgins again in the first round but lost to [[Dennis Taylor]] in the quarter-final 11–13.<ref name="WHOWHO" /> At the end of 1977, he reached the final of [[1977 UK Championship|the first UK Snooker Championship]], losing to [[Patsy Fagan]] 9–12.<ref>{{cite web |title=UK Championship |url=http://www.snookerscene.co.uk/page.php?id=34 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130124071813/http://www.snookerscene.co.uk/page.php?id=34 |archive-date=24 January 2013 |publisher=Snooker Scene |access-date=17 June 2011}}</ref> He won the title at the [[1978 UK Championship]], however, beating [[David Taylor (snooker player)|David Taylor]] 15–9, and he defeated Ray Reardon in the same season to win the [[1979 Irish Masters|Irish Masters]] 6–5.<ref name="87HALE" /> He won the [[1980 Champion of Champions]], with a 10–8 victory over [[John Virgo]] in the final.<ref>{{cite news |newspaper=The Times |date=13 October 1980 |page=9 |title=Snooker – Mountjoy fights back to take champion's title}}</ref> Mountjoy also won the [[1978 Pot Black]] event.<ref name=potblack/>

After being part of the winning Wales team in the first two snooker [[World Cup (snooker)|World Challenge Cups]], in [[1979 World Challenge Cup|1979]] and [[1980 World Challenge Cup|1980]], and winning the [[1980 Welsh Professional Championship]] he had an attack of [[Bell's palsy]] which partially paralysed his face.<ref name="Eurosport" /> Recovering from the attack, he reached the final of the [[1981 World Snooker Championship|1981 World Championship]], defeating [[Eddie Charlton]], Dennis Taylor and, in the semi-final, Ray Reardon (against whom he made a 145 break, a championship record at the time). He then played [[Steve Davis]] in the final.<ref>{{cite news |last=Everton |first=Clive |title=Mountjoy recovers from demoralising start |work=The Guardian |location=London |date=20 April 1981 |page=15}}</ref> Davis was favourite to win his first world title, and appeared to be racing to an easy victory by winning the first six frames of the match. However, Mountjoy recovered and came close to drawing level on several occasions. Trailing 11–13, and with the score at 60–63 in the 25th frame, he looked certain to cut Davis's lead to one frame but missed a simple blue from its spot; Davis went on to clear the colours, {{cuegloss|fluke|fluking}} the final black. Mountjoy won only one more frame as Davis won the match 18–12.<ref>{{cite news |title=1981: Davis begins his reign |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/other_sports/snooker/2953801.stm |publisher=BBC |date=18 April 2003 |access-date=26 October 2020 |archive-date=7 May 2004 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040507062213/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/other_sports/snooker/2953801.stm |url-status=live}}</ref>

After that run at the World Championship, he had only a short run of titles; he won the [[Welsh Professional Championship]] in [[1982 Welsh Professional Championship|1982]]<ref name="87HALE" /> and [[1984 Welsh Professional Championship|1984]]<ref name="87HALE" /> to go with his 1980 title. He was back in the final of a major again in the [[1985 Masters (snooker)|1985 Masters tournament]], losing to [[Cliff Thorburn]] 9–6.<ref>{{cite news |newspaper=The Times |date=3 October 1984 |page=24 |title=Snooker}}</ref> Mountjoy also reclaimed the ''[[Pot Black]]'' title in March that year.<ref name=potblack>{{cite web |title=BBC Two England - 14 April 1978 - BBC Genome |url=https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbctwo/england/1978-04-14 |access-date=15 February 2021 |publisher=BBC |archive-date=3 March 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303163355/http://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbctwo/england/1978-04-14 |url-status=live }}</ref>

He won another [[1987 Welsh Professional Championship|Welsh title in 1987]] but otherwise struggled to regain his previous form, including a 1–9 defeat to [[Steve Longworth]] in the first round of the [[1986 UK Championship]].<ref name="87HALE" /> By 1988 he was out of the top 16 in the [[Snooker world rankings|world rankings]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Ranking History |url=http://www.snooker.org/rnk/history.asp?sort=1987/1988&order=asc |publisher=Snooker.org |access-date=6 February 2011 |archive-date=24 September 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924134146/http://www.snooker.org/rnk/history.asp?sort=1987%2F1988&order=asc |url-status=live }}</ref> In the [[1988–89 snooker season]], however, he reached the final of the [[1988 UK Championship]] where he met [[Stephen Hendry]].

Mountjoy was diagnosed with [[lung cancer]] in 1993, having been a smoker for many years.<ref name="Eurosport" /> That year, at the age of 50, he defeated [[Alain Robidoux]] 10–6 in the first round of the [[1993 World Snooker Championship|World Championship]], only weeks before an operation to remove his left lung. This was his last appearance in the final stages of the championship and for fifteen years he was the last player aged over 50 to appear at [[Crucible Theatre|The Crucible]]. He survived the cancer and continued to play snooker until 1997, after which he concentrated on snooker coaching. He would coach in the United Arab Emirates,<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.thenationalnews.com/uae/emirati-snooker-champion-pays-tribute-to-welsh-legend-doug-mountjoy-1.1169402 |title=Emirati snooker champion pays tribute to Welsh legend Doug Mountjoy |last=Al Nowais |first=Shireena |date=20 February 2021 |website=[[The National (Abu Dhabi)|The National]] |location=Abu Dhabi |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210220153227/https://www.thenationalnews.com/uae/emirati-snooker-champion-pays-tribute-to-welsh-legend-doug-mountjoy-1.1169402 |archive-date=20 February 2021}}</ref> but did appear in qualifying for the [[2002 World Snooker Championship]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Tributes paid after death of Welsh snooker hero Doug Mountjoy |work=Irish Examiner |date=14 February 2021 |access-date=15 February 2021 |url=https://www.irishexaminer.com/sport/othersport/arid-40226849.html |archive-date=14 February 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210214192232/https://www.irishexaminer.com/sport/othersport/arid-40226849.html |url-status=live }}</ref>
