Who made the first century break of snooker in the history?

Question

I know that Joe Davis was the first man who made the FIRST TELEVISED CENTURY BREAK.

Answer 1

Snooker has been around since the 15th century.  I'm sure someone did it well before recorded history.  However, here are some other fascinating records:

At least three breaks in excess of 147 have been recorded. A 149 by Tony Drago in West Norwood, UK in 1998 is recorded by the Guinness Book of Records as the highest. In that match Drago was foul snookered and chose the brown as the free ball, to score one point. He then potted the brown again, for four more points, before potting 13 reds and 13 blacks, a red and a pink, a red and a blue, then all the colours. In October 2004, during qualifying for the UK Championship, Jamie Burnett achieved a 148 against Leo Fernandez, becoming the first player to achieve a break of more than 147 in a professional match.

Wally West was reported to have made a 151 break in the final of a club competition in Hounslow in 1976. Jamie Cope was reported to have made a break of 155 in a practice frame during 2005. [2]

The five fastest 147s have been made by Ronnie O'Sullivan. The times of the three fastest are

1997: 5 minutes 20 seconds (video)

2003: 6 minutes 30 seconds (video)

2001: 6 minutes 36 seconds (video)
