Notable Moments

* The 1974 World Championship turned out to be a disappointment after 1973's success. The building at Belle Vue was perhaps too reminiscent of a vast aircraft hangar and the pattern of results was a promoter's nightmare.

* Of the name players, John Spencer lost his first round match 13-15 to South Africa's Perrie Mans; Eddie Charlton went out to a lifetime best performance by John Dunning, a dour Yorkshireman also 13-15; and Alex Higgins lost the last three frames to Fred Davis to lose their quarter-final by the odd frame. Ray Reardon had his most difficult match in the quarter-final against Marcus Owen, The younger brother of Gary Owen who had turned professional after regaining the 1973 English Amateur title he won three time between 1958 and 1967. Reardon then went on to beat Birmingham's Graham Miles 22-12 to win his third world title.

* First timers include Canada's Bill Werbeniuk who beat Geoff Thompson 8-3 before losing to Fred Davis 5-15 in the second round.

* The final session was televised by the BBC.
