  • Knowles, with his youthful look and stylish haircut, was one of very few players to bring sex appeal to the game{{FixPOV|date=July 2007}} — something he tried to capitalise on in 1983 by writing of his exploits in the UK tabloid newspaper, The Sun, at a time when this sort of publicity was still shunned, and he was subsequently charged with bringing the game into disrepute.{{Fact|date=July 2007}}

Comments

[edit]
  • "...first wound of the 1981 World Snooker Championship...", typo.
  • "... Reardon by the same score in round two ... Ray Reardon (the second seed) ...", the first mention of Reardon should contain his full name and be wikilinked, instead of the second mention.
  • This is just a minor quibble and feel free to take this more as a suggestion; most last paragraph of the career section could perhaps be integrated in the chronological order that the rest of the section follows? For example, his highest ranking only appears in the last paragraph even though some of his other rankings is mentioned from time to time in a chronological order.
  • Another suggestion would be that if possible, the section on his career could be expanded further? It appears more as major highlights rather than a comprehensive chronology. For instance, the section on performance and rankings timeline contains many tournaments which don't feature in the section on career.
  • The lead should perhaps mention that he is commonly or alternatively called Tony.
  • His team members in the 1983 World Team Classic are only mentioned in the lead.
