Former professional snooker referee Paul Collier is the latest snooker star to be interviewed on ryan147.com.

Since turning professional in 1991, Paul Collier had a very successful career as a snooker referee.  Paul refereed his first Ranking Event Final in January 2002, the Welsh Open. Then in 2004 Paul was lucky enough to take charge of the 2004 World final between Ronnie O’Sullivan and Graeme Dott at the Crucible Theatre. Sadly at the end of the 2004/05 season Paul gave up being a professional referee, however he still takes charge of the Premier League each year.
