Barry West was born on 24 October 1958, in Wickersley, England, and became a professional snooker player in 1985.[1][2]

During his career he reached the quarter-finals of ranking tournaments three times.[1] At the 1985 UK Championship, West lost 1–9 in the quarter-finals to Steve Davis;[3] the 1988 International Open finished in a 2–5 loss to Jimmy White, and the UK Championship of that year ended for West with a 5–9 defeat to Terry Griffiths.[1] He also reached the semi-finals of the 1988 English Professional Championship, losing 6–9 to Neal Foulds.[1]

West finished the 1996/1997 season ranked 179th, and was relegated from the tour as only the top 64 players automatically retained their professional status.[4]

West made a return to competition in qualifying for the 2010 World Snooker Championship, but was defeated in his first match, 1–5 by Del Smith.[5] He entered the 2012 World Seniors Championship, winning three matches to qualify for the last 16, where he lost 2–0 to Dene O'Kane.[6][7] He also participated in the 2013 event, but lost his first match in the qualifying competition 1–2 to Les Dodd.[8]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
