Patsy Fagan (born January 15, 1951 in Dublin ) is a former Irish snooker player .
Career
At the age of 12, Fagan got to know the game of snooker through his brother, who took him to the local snooker club in Dún Laoghaire . He made his first century breaks there at the age of 15 . He achieved his first maximum break on his 25th birthday.
One of his first successes was second place at the English Amateur Championship in 1974, where he only had to admit defeat in the final against Ray Edmonds . Two years later he set a record break of 115 at the same tournament and therefore decided to play snooker professionally, although he did not reach the final that year.
He had his greatest success at the then first UK Championship in 1977, where he defeated Doug Mountjoy in the final 12: 9. In the same year he also won the Dry Blacktorn Cup and a year later reached the quarter-finals of the 1978 World Snooker Championship . Through these performances he reached 11th place in the 1978/79 snooker season . In 1979 and 1981 he was runner-up at the Irish Professional Championship .
In the 1988/89 snooker season he did not succeed in winning a match at a world ranking tournament, so that he fell back to 123rd place in the world snooker ranking . At that time, the world ranking was limited to 128 players. The last 10 players had to play against 10 qualifiers. Patsy Fagan could not maintain his place and so retired from professional snooker.
Currently (2010) Fagan works as a snooker coach and trains Alfred Burden , among others .
