Adrian Gunnell

Who is Adrian Gunnell?

Adrian Gunnell is an English professional snooker player from Telford. He has reached the last-16 in four world ranking events, but has yet to progress beyond that stage. He has yet to qualify for the final stages of the World Championship.

While practising in 2003 he pulled off the remarkable feat of compiling three 147 breaks in 4 frames, the only player to do so. He hasn't been able to bring that kind of form to the tournaments, but he has compiled a 147 in tournament play. He is noted for taking a long time to play safety shots.

Notable victories he achieved during the 2007/2008 season included beating Marco Fu 5–3 in last 48 of the Northern Ireland Trophy, and Matthew Stevens 9–7 at the same stage of the 2007 UK Championship from 5–7 behind, to qualify for the final stages of the event played in his home town for the first time. He lost to Peter Ebdon 5–2 and Ding Junhui 9–3 in the last 32 of both tournaments respectively, but his consistent performances have taken him up to number 36 in the 2008/2009 rankings.
