Jackie Rea

[edit] Biography

Jackie Rea was a Northern Ireland snooker player, that was at his best when professionalism collapsed in the early 1960s.

In the 1950s, he felt that new professionals could not earn enough money to make a living, with the big money matches going to the established pre-war professionals such as Joe & Fred Davis and Walter Donaldson.

He did reach the 1957 World Championship Final, where he lost to John Pulman.

Rea hung around the professional scene, but was not as strong upon professional resumption, and struggled in the early 70s.
