Martin Smith (born 12 June 1961) is an English former professional snooker player.
[1] In his first season on the main tour he won his first competitive match 5–2 against Dessie Sheehan,[1] but earned only £984 in prize money, at the 1986 Classic, where he lost 4–5 to Perrie Mans in the last 64.
However, the following season brought runs to the last-32 stage of two tournaments; at the 1987 UK Championship, he defeated Frank Jonik, Paddy Browne and Doug Mountjoy before losing 8–9 to John Campbell, and in the English Professional Championship, he recorded a 6–1 win over Graham Miles prior to losing 5–6 to Dave Martin.
[1] These performances enhanced Smith's ranking to 72nd, a career best, and further positive results came during 1988/1989; he reached the last-16 in a non-ranking tournament, with victories over Mick Price and Ken Owers, losing at that stage 1–5 to Craig Edwards.
At the 1989 International Open, he defeated Dennis Hughes, Martin and veteran Rex Williams to reach the last 32 for the second time in his career, but again, he lost at this stage, 3–5 to Steve James.
