The televised stage of the Betfred.com World Championship starts two weeks today.
Once the draw is made on April 16 I will begin looking at the likely contenders for the title. Before all that of course there is the nerve-shredding drama of the qualifiers.
I shall be neither previewing nor reviewing the action. All that is being done with greater insight by Snookerbacker and prosnookerblog.
Instead I shall spend the next week looking back at some heroes of the Crucible.
This is not a list of greatest Crucible moments or players, as that sort of thing has been done to death.
It is instead a (personal) list of characters, some forgotten, who have made an impact at the home of snooker.
First one to follow shortly...

Joe Swail looks to be on his uppers, his place on the tour would be lost.
Not sure if he meets the criteria for this series, but he has certainly left an imprint on the Crucible with a few of his comeback wins around the turn of the millenium.
Hi David. Can't wait to read the articles you are referring to in this post. Great stuff.
