Jack Fitzmaurice (25 April 1928 – 18 January 2005) was an English professional snooker player.
Career
Born in Solihull, Fitzmaurice turned professional in 1981 at the age of 53. He reached the last 32 of the World Snooker Championship in 1982, defeating Mario Morra 9–7 before losing his match against Kirk Stevens 4–10, having held Stevens to 3–5 early on.
Fitzmaurice's career thereafter was largely without any success; he never again progressed beyond the last 32 of a ranking tournament, recording his final victory at the 1997 European Open, 5–4 over the young Ian Glover. Without a ranking after the 1998–99 season, he played his final match in 2001 at the World Championship, losing 0–5 to Carl Stringer, and subsequently left the tour, concluding his professional career aged 73.
Personal life
Fitzmaurice died in Birmingham in January 2005, aged 76.[1]
