Rod Lawler (born 12 July 1971 in Liverpool, England) is an English professional snooker player. He turned professional in 1990. His best run in a ranking tournament was in 1996, when he reached the final of the International Open, beating World Champion Stephen Hendry 5–3 in the second round, but his run ended in the final where he lost 9–3 to John Higgins.[1] His best run in the World Championship was in 1996 when he beat former World Champions Dennis Taylor 10–5 to qualify, and John Parrott 10–6 in the first round,[2] before losing 13–6 to Dave Harold in the last 16. He is noted for his very slow play, which has led to him being nicknamed "Rod the Plod"[3]
