Paul Medati

Medati was born in Ordsall, Salford, Lancashire to Maltese parents, and attended St. Joseph's Primary School.

[1] After playing snooker for many years, he turned professional in 1981, and perhaps the best performance of his career came when he reached the last 16 of the 1983 UK Championship, where he was defeated 9-1 by eventual winner Alex Higgins.

In 1986, Higgins appeared at the 1986 Classic with a black eye, courtesy of a disagreement with Medati.

[4] Medati died of cancer at home in Salford in 2008.
