Highest Tournament Break 147 - World Snooker Championship 2006

Despite reaching his first ranking event quarter-final for four years, Milkins dropped four places in the rankings at the end of the 2008/09 season to No 55.
His best performance was at the Bahrain Snooker Championship. Qualifying wins over Robert Stephen and Joe Swail booked his flight to the Middle East.
He eased through the wildcard round by beating Ahmed Saif 5-1 and followed that with a 5-3 defeat of Peter Ebdon. His run looked set to end in the last 16 when he trailed Michael Holt 4-0 at the interval. However he took the next five frames to win 5-4 and complete an amazing turnaround, the first time in his career that he had fought back from losing the opening four frames.
He faced Stephen Hendry in the last eight and, despite a break of 137 in the first frame, he lost the next two when the Scot hit back with tons of his own, 113 and 132. The Gloucester cueman eventually went down 5-2. He also reached the last 32 of the Bank of Beijing 2009 World Snooker China Open. He had his qualifying match held over to the venue as he was drawn against local favourite Liang Wenbo. After beating him he saw off Joe Swail before coming up against Hendry once more. The scoreline was closer but still ended with a 5-3 loss.
Milkins, an aggressive break-builder who has been compared to Tony Drago for his speed around the table, has figured in one ranking semi-final – and came agonisingly close to going even further. He beat Marco Fu, Paul Hunter and Dave Harold to reach the last four of the 2005 Irish Masters at the Citywest Hotel in Dublin and played superbly to lead Matthew Stevens 8-5.
His best chance to wrap up victory came in the 15th frame but he ran out of position on 54. Stevens made an amazing clearance to claw back to 8-7 then won the last two frames to complete the comeback.
"I’d done all the hard work and I thought I deserved to win. I played well and my safety was brilliant. At least I proved that I can play well on a big stage and it’s a good tournament for me to reach the semi-finals," said Milkins, who has also been a quarter-finalist at the UK
Championship.
Milkins certainly has no shortage of self-confidence. "If I could play to my potential I would be winning tournaments," he once said.
He set a piece of snooker history in 2006 when he became the first player to make a maximum 147 in the qualifying rounds of the World Championship. But he lost that match against Mark Selby.
