He continues to commentate for other broadcasters, including ITV4 for the Champion of Champions and World Grand Prix tournaments, Sky Sports, at the World Seniors Championship and Snooker Shoot-Out and Perform Media, where he provides commentary on the Championship League, syndicated to a number of betting websites and World Snooker's subscription service. He has also commentated for other worldwide broadcasters including Eurosport, CBC and Fox Sports Australia. In 2017, Everton was inducted into the Snooker Hall of Fame at the annual Snooker Awards.[3] BiographyEverton was born in Worcester in 1937[3] and was educated at King's School, Worcester and later at UCW Cardiff.[4] Everton was a talented amateur player of English billiards, reaching both the 1975 and 1977 world semi-finals. In the latter he exacerbated a back injury, forcing a temporary retirement from the highest level of the game; he became a professional snooker and billiards player in 1981. Everton's biggest win as a professional snooker player was a 5-2 defeat of Patsy Fagan in the last 64 of the Professional Players Tournament 1982, before losing to Cliff Thorburn with the same score in the last 32. He reached (and lost) four Welsh Professional Snooker Championship quarter-finals and three major billiard quarter-finals. Unlike snooker, billiards has never generated sustainable professional incomes for players, and Everton has enjoyed a varied career as a result. He has covered football, rugby and tennis for various British newspapers, and is one of the most prolific authors of historical and instructions books on snooker, as well as being the founding editor of the long-running Snooker Scene magazine. He also played county-level tennis for Worcestershire for 13 years, and has managed Jonah Barrington, the former world number 1 squash player. However, it is as a snooker commentator that Everton is best known to millions of UK fans who watch the BBC's coverage of the sport. During the hey-day of the game in the 1980s, he emerged as one of the top three commentators, alongside Jack Karnehm and the famous 'whispering' Ted Lowe. For many, he has become the 'voice of snooker' – particularly since the retirement of Lowe in the 1990s. Everton's style of commentary always tended towards the technical, as opposed to the more informal, conversational approach of his colleagues and the various 'player-commentators' of today. His analytical mind, combined with his clear love of the game and the many hours of dedicated research he has put in over the years, have given him an encyclopaedic knowledge of the game and the ability to recite obscure facts and statistics, scorelines, and breaks of ancient matches etc., which he does frequently in commentary. He also tends towards the use of very formal English, often using words that would not find a place in everyday conversation. Hence, for example, his commentary has included the following statements:
Unlike most of the snooker commentators and 'summarisers,' Everton always refers to snooker players by their surnames. Any impression of distance implied by this is misleading, however. He is extremely well-liked and respected by most of the top professionals in the game. A consummate professional, Everton – like all commentators – has nevertheless suffered inevitable embarrassments in the commentary box. One example is when he fell from his chair when covering a match with Dennis Taylor. The pair were unable to continue commentary for some moments for laughing. During the BBC's coverage of the 2007 World Snooker Championship final, it was reported by Hazel Irvine that Everton "took a tumble" after the second session, and fractured his hip, missing the final sessions of the championship between John Higgins and Mark Selby. After Steve Davis joked that this occurred through his penchant for skateboarding, Everton later reported that he slipped while getting out of the shower.[5] In September 2007 he published his autobiography, The Inside Story of the Snooker World (Mainstream Publishing {{ISBN|978-1-84596-199-2}}), in which he talks about some of the off-table antics of the main players of the last thirty years. During the 2008 World Championship, while commenting on the psychological problems of Ronnie O'Sullivan, Everton revealed that he had himself suffered from depression during his life. In 2009, it was announced that Everton would effectively lose his position as the BBC's primary snooker commentator. He did not commentate at the Masters, and only commentated on the World Championship until the quarter-final stages. This has variously been attributed to his criticism of the game's governing body, World Snooker, his age and old-fashioned style,[6] and his lack of fame relative to the many former players in the BBC's commentary roster.[7] Everton himself commented "I'm hurt and angry, because I find the reasons presented to me incomprehensible."[6] At the start of the 2009/10 season, Everton's role at the BBC was reduced still further. He only commentated on two matches during the Grand Prix tournament, and was not heard at all during the Masters. He commentated on days one to four of the 2010 World Snooker Championship and was heard again on day six, but that was to be his final commentary work of the tournament, and is likely to be the last work he does for the BBC. He does, however, continue to be heard frequently on Sky Sports' coverage of the Premier League, and, in October 2009, joined Eurosport as a commentator for their World Series events (which ended after 2009), as well as covering three-cushion billiards tournaments. He was previously heard on Eurosport and Screensport in the 1990s on occasions. He also commentates on the Championship League, which is streamed to a number of betting websites, and is also screened in betting shops around the country. In October 2010, he joined ITV's commentary team for Power Snooker. During the final of the 2011 UK Championship, John Virgo referred to Everton as "our ex-colleague". In 2017, Everton was inducted into the Snooker Hall of Fame at the annual Snooker Awards.[8] Snooker performance and rankings timeline
