Snooker Number Plates

The 45th Masters tournament has now begun. Along with the World Championships and the UK Championships, this is one of the three biggest events in the snooker calendar.

2018 Champion Mark Allen returns to defend his title at the Alexandra Palace venue in London. Last year’s victory was the first time he had had the honour of raising that coveted trophy. Will he be able to make it two years in a row?

Perfect plates for snooker players?

We’ve also picked out some plates we think would suit some of our favourite snooker players. Can you find any better ones?

We think Mark Allen would like MAR 2K or 8 MA. Ronnie O’Sullivan could have 1 RON or 111 RON. For Shaun Murphy we’ve picked out MUR 112Y and 180 SM, which would be even better if he changed his game to darts! Ding Junhui would certainly suit 16 DJ or 39 DJ but perhaps they’ll all get snapped up by DJs!
