Ray Reardon?

Question

How old was Ray Reardon when he became World snooker champion?

Answer 1

Ray Reardon was born in 1932.  He turned professional in 1967.  The world rankings weren't introduced until 1976, at which time Ray was ranked #1.  So, in 1976, Ray would have been 44 years old.

P.S.  I admit that I did have to look this up.  I didn't know this off the top of my head.
