In his career, he managed to beat players such as
Ronnie O'Sullivan,
Ken Doherty and
James Wattana. Originally a soccer player, he was introduced to snooker by a neighbourhood friend. He attended
Jarvis Collegiate Institute in
Toronto for high school, where he became a star in his new sport for the Bulldogs, who began dominating the Toronto league in 1978. Throughout his career he reached five quarter-finals in ranking tournaments, as well as the last 16 of many events and he once looked as if he could get into the top 16 of the world rankings. However, his results in tournaments suffered, which was partly due to suffering from
anxiety attacks which caused him to feel nauseated and unable to concentrate in a match. Finbow could not find a cure, and despite taking prescribed medication and trying a number of solutions it did not cure his anxiety attacks completely. After beating
David Gray and
Dave Harold to reach the last 16 of the
2001 UK Championship he was playing Ronnie O'Sullivan, but suffered a particularly bad anxiety attack, and was forced to retire the match at 0–8 down. After the match he expressed his distress and by the end of the
2002–2003 season he announced his retirement from the game altogether. ==Performance and rankings timeline==
