Six-time snooker world champion Ray Reardon has died aged 91.

The Welshman – widely regarded as one of the greatest snooker players ever – died on Friday after battling cancer, his wife Carol confirmed.

World Snooker said Reardon dominated the sport’s world championship in the 1970s in a similar manner to Steve Davis in the 1980s and Stephen Hendry in the 1990s.
