1995 World Snooker Championship

Overview

• Stephen Hendry won his fifth world title beating Nigel Bond 18–9. This was Hendry's fourth consecutive title, breaking Steve Davis' previous Crucible record of three.
• Hendry made the third 147 maximum break in the history of the tournament during his semi-final against Jimmy White.
• Before the first round match between Jimmy White and Peter Francisco, there were unusual gambling patterns on a 10–2 win for White and betting was suspended shortly before the match. A betting investigation was held and Francisco was banned for five years.
• Future world champion John Higgins made his debut in this tournament. He lost in the first round to Alan McManus. Another debutant, Andy Hicks, reached the semi-finals, knocking out six time former champion Steve Davis en route.
• Until 2020 this was the last World Championship to start on a Friday and finish on a Sunday, rather than starting on a Saturday and finishing on the "May Day" Bank Holiday, the first Monday in May, as is tradition.
