Edward Diggle

Edward Diggle (1864–1934) was a leading professional billiard player,[1] known as "The Mechanical Methodical Mancunian".

He is described by cue sports historian Clive Everton as "a languid, wry man with a casual, half upright [playing] style with both legs inelegantly bent.

"[2]: 43  In 1895, Diggle set the record for the break on a standard billiard table when he compiled a 985 against Roberts.

[2]: 36  Willie Smith credited Diggle's top of the table, a method to increase breaks, as being an integral part of his own style.
