During the final of the 1997 Benson & Hedges Masters between Steve Davis and Ronnie O'Sullivan, play was brought to a temporary halt as snooker's first ever female streaker - Lianne Croft invaded the match arena running three times around the snooker table. Steve Davis complained he was concentrating so hard he only saw her back. Otherwise the interruption didn't do the 39 year old father of two any harm. He went on to win 10-8, to lift his only trophy of the 97/98 season.
Lianne said she did it because the game was "depressingly boring" at that point.
