Watch every 147 of 2022 from Judd Trump, Mark Williams, Neil Robertson, Mark Selby and Marco Fu as snooker’s maximum men
Judd Trump became the fifth heaviest 147 maker of all time courtesy of three brilliant maximums in 2022.
Ronnie O’Sullivan (15), John Higgins (12), Stephen Hendry (11) and Stuart Bingham (9) remain the most prolific 147 men of all time, but Trump is rapidly closing the gap having made his first in 2013.
The evergreen Mark Williams became the oldest player (47 years, 270 days) to produce a maximum against Neil Robertson in the English Open quarter-finals with his third competitive 147 coming 17 years after his first.

Since Steve Davis made the iconic first televised competitive 147 in 1982, 183 maximums have been produced. It is perhaps a demonstration of rising standards when you consider 45 were produced by the end of 2002 before another 138 reached the magical mark over the past 20 years.
Only 22 players have achieved the feat more than one over the past 40 years.
Nine of a whopping 11 147s in 2022 were captured exclusively by Eurosport, the home of snooker. Sit back and enjoy some of the best break-building of all time.
