Anyone remember the Hofmeister World Doubles?
It's almost twenty years since the World Doubles championship was last played. Back then, we had famous pairings like the unbeatable Steve Davis & Tony Meo, the popular Jimmy White and Tony Knowles. Ray Reardon reached the final with Tony Jones and then Stephen Hendry and Mike Hallett were a force to be reckoned with!
Cuefactor takes a look at some of the potential partnerships if the tournament was brought back today!
It could be a commentator's nightmare if Mark King and Marco Fu played together - we'll let you work that one out!!!
But how about...
James & Bond
Cuefactor member, Danny Cooper sent us one from the past! Former ranking tournament winner, Steve James doubling up with Nigel Bond, would make 00147!
Prince & Williams
This one is not quite perfect, but it's close enough for us! Former Northern Ireland International, Jason Prince and two-time world champion, Mark Williams would make a right royal partnership!
Allen & Davies
If you take Northern Ireland's Mark Allen and Welshman, Paul Davies you get IQ (or I-Cue!!!) funny man, Alan Davies.
Gilbert & O'Sullivan
Former World Snooker Young Player of Distinction, Dave Gilbert would surely have to pair up with The Rocket Ronnie O'Sullivan and make the famous Irish singer!
Henry & Ford
Henry Ford once said - "You can pot any colour after a red, as long as it's a black", or something like that! Scotland's Drew Henry could 'escort' England's Tom Ford and we would surely 'sie-rra' snooker 'fiesta'.
Joyce & Mackenzie
The young pairing of Mark Joyce and Scott Mackenzie would make up the name of a famous Hollywood actress. Joyce was best known for her part as Jane in the 1953 movie, Tarzan and the She-Devil. You know the one, where Tarzan said "me Tarzan Cue Jane!"
King & Harold
Another royal affair this one! The all-England duo of Mark King and Dave Harold would give us the King of Norway! Long Live the King!
Morris & Greene
The Northern Ireland combination of David Morris and Gerard Greene would need to get a move on to live up to their namesake, who was once the fastest man on the planet!
How about a Pro-Celebrity version?
Bjorn & Borg
Malta's number two, Alex Borg and Ryder Cup star Thomas Bjorn would team up to make one of the best tennis players of all-time.
Michie & Rooney
Popular potter, Jimmy Michie and goal-hero, Wayne Rooney could combine to make up the legend that is Mickey Rooney!
Donald & Trump
All-star golfer, Luke Donald and teenage sensation, Judd Trump would make a million-dollar partnership, if they linked up and made Property '
Ty-Cue-n', Donald Trump!
If you can think of any other great combinations let us know here...
