Rex Williams - Administration

Administration

Williams was heavily involved in the administration of snooker and billiards. In 1968, he inspired the resurrection of the defunct Professional Billiards Players Association in the guise of the World Professional Billiard and Snooker Association (WPBSA) and served as its chairman from 1968 to 1987 and 1997 to 1999. In 2001, he was expelled from the Association following alleged fiduciary irregularities and asked to repay legal costs of £28,268, but was reinstated as a full member the following year. The Association apologised for its actions "unequivocally".

He was also a commentator for BBC and ITV snooker coverage during the 1980s.
