Having won his place back on the professional Tour for 2007/08 courtesy of winning the Northern Ireland Championship and finishing top of the national rankings in his homeland, he got past his first qualifying match in every event except the China Open.
In 2001, Wallace went all the way to the quarter-finals of the World Championship. The accountancy graduate from Queens University, Belfast, beat Nick Walker, Simon Bedford and Joe Perry to qualify.
He then defeated Alan McManus 10-2 and Mark King 13-5 at the Crucible before losing 13-11 to fellow Ulsterman and boyhood pal Joe Swail.
"I’m very, very surprised at the progress I’ve made in this championship," admitted Wallace after the match against Swail. "This time last year I was watching the tournament at home on TV."
Wallace comes from the same town that has produced top European golfer Darren Clarke and lives only four miles from Coalisland, birthplace of 1995 world champion Dennis Taylor.
"I was one of the 18.5 million viewers who stayed up past midnight to watch him beat Steve Davis in that final. There were people out celebrating in the streets - it was amazing," he said.
In 2003, Wallace was instrumental in setting up the Barry McNamee Memorial Trophy, now an anuual tournament in Dungannon, following the tragic death of his close friend and practice partner.
