Notes
- a Due to a disagreement with the Billiards Association and Control Club, Lindrum and McConachy were the only players to compete, with most professional players playing in the Professional Matchplay Championship instead. As a result, Lindrum's title win is often ignored, with Cliff Thorburn (Canada), Ken Doherty (Ireland) and Neil Robertson (Australia) usually regarded as the only non-British World Champions.
- b1 b2 The title was decided over a series of matches rather than frames.
- c Stephen Hendry became the youngest World Champion at the final on 29 April 1990, aged 21 years, 106 days.
- d The Guinness Book of World Records does not acknowledge the Professional Matchplay Championship results in its records, so accordingly only lists Fred Davis as having won the World Championship three times, and John Pulman seven times.

Famous quotes containing the word notes:
“Of all the horrid, hideous notes of woe,
Sadder than owl-songs or the midnight blast,
Is that portentous phrase, “I told you so,”
Uttered by friends, those prophets of the past.”
