Graham Cripsey (born 8 December 1954) is a former professional snooker player and Wall of death rider.
[1][2] With his parents and his brother Gary, Cripsey ran a "Wall of death" business in Skegness.
Hill discovered Ronnie O'Sullivan in the early 1990s and coached many top players, such as Graeme Dott.
[4] Cripsey began at the professional tournaments in the 1982–83 season and reached the 1983 World Snooker Championship following a win over Dennis Hughes.
In the 1985–86 season he twice reached the last 32, in the Classic and in the UK Championship, beating Cliff Wilson and John Spencer, two players from the top 24 in the world rankings.
Although maintaining a 46th ranking, victories over Barry West and Eugene Hughes showed that he could compete with top players.
In a tournament with a special format, the snooker shoot-out in which a single frame was played, he reached the quarter-finals and lost by 62 points to 66 against Alan McManus.
