Player List

Simon Bedford

Bedford’s second season back on the Main Tour ended with him retaining his place as one of the best placed players on the one-year list.
He enjoyed his best run at the Grand Prix as wins over Liu Chuang, Andy Hicks and Mike Dunn put him through to the venue. At Glasgow he equalled his best ranking event performance by edging past Mark Williams 5-4 before losing 5-1 to Peter Ebdon in the last 32.
Bedford regained a place on the pro Tour by finishing third in the 2007/08 Pontin’s International Open Series rankings.
The Yorkshireman won the opening tournament of the campaign, beating Gary Wilkinson 6-3 in the final.
Bedford, who achieved his highest world ranking of 63 in 2005/06, won nine matches at three different venues to qualify for the televised stages of the 1998 World Championship - booking his place at the Crucible with a 10-9 defeat of Gary Wilkinson. He lost to six-times champion Steve Davis in the first round proper.
