Bill Werbeniuk

Werbeniuk was noted for the copious amounts of alcohol he consumed before and during matches. He said that he generally drunk around six pints of lager before a match and then one pint for each frame. He said he did this to counteract a tremor he suffered from in his arm.

Werbeniuk was ranked as high as eighth in the world in 1983 and reached the quarter finals of the world championship four times before inderal[?], the drug he took to help his heart cope with the alcohol he consumed, was banned. He played his last professional match in 1990.
