Mick Fisher was born on 12 July 1944. He started entering
snooker tournaments aged 29, and despite a lack of notable tournament success as an amateur, his application to become a professional
snooker player was accepted by the
World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association in 1982. In his first season on tour, he played in three ranking tournaments and recorded last-32 finishes in each; at the
1982 International Open, he defeated
Tommy Murphy 5–1 and
Fred Davis 5–3, but lost 1–5 in his match against
David Taylor, while the
UK Championship of that year brought victories over
Ian Black and
Ray Edmonds before a 6–9 loss to
Dean Reynolds. In the
1990 Grand Prix, Fisher defeated six-time World Champion
Ray Reardon 5–4 in one of Reardon's final matches; the latter would retire from the game at the end of the season. Fisher lost his next match 3–5 to
Joe O'Boye. ==References==
