    Blatt. Condition: Gut. DIN-lang-briefbogen mit gedrucktem Absender von Willie Thorne mit blauem Kuli signiert mit eigenhändiger brieflicher Mitteilung: "Dear Andrew, on both counts you are correct Steve Davis was the first, ].] Stewens was in the Benson Hedges against Jimmy White", Knicke, papierbedingte Seitenbräunung /// Autogramm Autograph signiert signed signee /// William Joseph Thorne (* 4. März 1954 in Leicester, England; + 17. Juni 2020 in Torrevieja, Spanien) war ein englischer Snookerspieler, der zwischen 1975 und 2001 26 Jahre als professioneller Spieler verbrachte und in diesem Zeitraum für zwei Saisons Rang 7 der Snookerweltrangliste belegte. Beim Classic 1985 gewann er zum einzigen Mal in seiner Karriere ein Ranglistenturnier. Karriere Thorne wurde 1954 in Leicester geboren, wo seine Eltern einen Pub besaßen.[1] Sein älterer Bruder Malcolm Thorne (1950-2011) interessierte sich wie Thorne selbst fürs Snooker und wurde später unter anderem Funktionär bei der English Association of Snooker and Billiards (EASB).[5] Willie Thorne begann im Alter von 14 Jahren auf dem Snookertisch im Pub seiner Eltern mit dem Snookerspiel und wurde in kurzer Zeit sowohl im Snooker als auch im English Billiards ein erfolgreicher Juniorenspieler. Er gewann dabei mehrere Turniere, darunter nur zwei Jahre nach seinen ersten Erfahrungen die britische U16-Meisterschaft im Snooker und im English Billiards. Zwischen 1971 und 1973 gewann er zudem drei Mal das U19-Pendant, im letzten Jahre zusammen mit der entsprechenden Altersklasse im Snooker.[1] Mindestens während seiner Amateurjahre wurde Thorne von der Firma Q Promotions Ltd. gemanagt, die auch Alex Higgins und Graham Miles unter Vertrag hatten.[6] Zudem nahm Thorne - wie auch John Virgo, der als Amateur ebenfalls bei Q Promotions Ltd. unter Vertrag stand, - an zahlreichen Wettspielen und ähnlichem teil.[7] Als Snookerspieler machte Thorne erstmals auf sich aufmerksam, als er 1972 das Achtelfinale des südlichen Qualifikationswettbewerbes der English Amateur Championship erreichte und dort gegen Marcus Owen verlor.[8] 1974 nahm er als Amateur an den Canadian Open teil und verlor im Viertelfinale gegen den späteren Sieger Cliff Thorburn.[9] Im nächsten Jahr gelang ihm auch mit einem Sieg über den späteren Profi-Weltmeister Terry Griffiths der Einzug ins Finale des südlichen Qualifikationswettbewerbes der English Amateur Championship und besiegte dort Chris Ross, bevor er im Endspiel um die Meisterschaft mit 6:11 gegen Sid Hood verlor.[10] Nur wenig später, zur Saison 1975/76, wurde Thorne Profispieler.[3] Zuvor hatte er als Laufbursche eines Buchmachers und als Fotomodell gearbeitet.[11] Erste Profijahre Thornes erste Profisaison verlief relativ durchwachsen: Beim Pontins Professional und beim Pot Black gewann er kein einziges Spiel, bei der Snookerweltmeisterschaft schied er in der dritten Qualifikationsrunde aus. Lediglich bei den Canadian Open und bei den Pontins Spring Open, einem Pro-Am-Turnier, welches nicht offiziell Bestandteil der Profitour war, erreichte er jeweils das Halbfinale und verlor in diesem gegen John Pulman beziehungsweise Doug Mountjoy.[12][13] Etwas schlechter verlief für Thorne die nächste Saison, als er bei den Canadian Open und bei den Pontins Spring Open sein Auftaktspiel verlor und in der Gruppenphase des Pontins Professionals nur eines von fünf Spielen gewinnen konnte. Zudem verlor er während der Saison das Spiel um Platz drei beim Pot Black, erreichte aber mit einem Sieg über Bernard Bennett das Achtelfinale der Snookerweltmeisterschaft und verlor in diesem gegen Graham Miles.[14][15] Bei der Snookerweltmeisterschaft war Thorne mit 23 Jahren der jüngste Spieler der Hauptrunde.[16] Durch seine Erfolge wurde Thorne erstmals auf der Snookerweltrangliste geführt; er belegte im Folgenden Rang 20.[4] Doch auch die Saison 1977/78 begann mit einer Auftaktniederlage bei den Canadian Open, bevor er allerdings das Viertelfinale der UK Championship sowie später erneut das Achtelfinale der Snookerweltmeisterschaft erreichte.[17] Dadurch verbesserte er sich auf der Weltrangliste auf Rang 15.[4] In der folgenden Saison verlor Thorne erneut sein Auftaktspiel bei den Canadian Open, zog aber mit Siegen über Bernard Bennett und Ray Reardon ebenfalls erneut ins Viertelfinale der UK Championship ein, bevor er zum Saisonende bei der Snookerweltmeisterschaft in der Runde der letzten 24 mit 8:9 gegen John Virgo verlor.[18] Auf der Weltrangliste verlor er damit zwei Plätze und belegte nun Rang 17.[4] Jahre in den Top 25 Während der Saison 1979/80 schied Thorne beim British Gold Cup in der Gruppenphase, bei der Snookerweltmeisterschaft in der Runde der letzten 24 und bei der UK Championship im Achtelfinale aus. Beim Padmore / Super Crystalate International erreichte Thorne das Halbfinale und unterlag Alex Higgins,[19] bevor er nach einem Sieg über Steve Davis mit einem 7:3-Finalsieg über Cliff Wilson zum einzigen Mal die Pontins Spring Open gewann.[20] Da dieses Turnier jedoch kein Profiturnier war, geschweige denn Einfluss auf die Weltrangliste hatte, rutschte er auf der Weltrangliste auf Rang 20 ab.[4] Ein ähnliches Bild ergab sich in der folgenden Saison: Thorne schied bei der Yamaha Organs Trophy in der erstmöglichsten Gruppenphase, bei der Snookerweltmeisterschaft erneut in der Runde der letzten 24 und sowohl bei den Canadian Open als auch bei der UK Championship im Achtelfinale aus. Im Gegenzug erreichte er bei der English Professional Championship das Halbfinale und musste sich in diesem Tony Meo geschlagen geben, bevor er beim Pontins Professional mit Siegen über Ray Reardon und Cliff Wilson erstmals das Finale eines professionellen Turnieres erreichte und in diesem Terry Griffiths mit 8:9 unterlag.[21] Auf der Weltrangliste verschlechterte er sich jedoch durch sein schlechtes Abschneiden bei der Snookerweltmeisterschaft auf Rang 22.[4] Auch im Verlaufe der Saison 1981/82 schied Thorne mehrheitlich früh aus, wobei er mit einer Achtelfinalteilnahme bei der UK Champ. …
