snooker

Griffiths' victories at the 1980 Masters and 1982 UK Championship mean he is one of only 11 players to have completed snooker's Triple Crown.

Griffiths became an accomplished coach after the end of his professional playing career in 1997, inspiring stars such as Stephen Hendry, Mark Williams and Mark Allen - and also regularly commentated on snooker for BBC Sport.

His maximum break is the 21st in the history of the UK Championship, the 208th ever in professional snooker and the sixth in the 2024-25 season.

Irvine, who is known for fronting BBC coverage of the olympics and snooker championships, will receive the award for Outstanding Contribution to Broadcasting.

It has not been the most conventional week of snooker for former world champion Luca Brecel as he shifts his focus from the table to Ironman.
