Allister Carter, was born in Essex in England in 1979 and lives in Tiptree. Ali became a professional snooker player in 1996. He was close to the elite top 16 for 3 successive seasons, before reaching it after the 2005/2006 season. He has won one minor event, the Benson and Hedges Championship in 1999 - this earned him a wild card place in the Masters. His best ranking event performance was a shock semi-final place at the 1999 Grand Prix tournament. He reached the last 16 of the World Snooker Championship in 2005.
Experts regard him as a highly talented player who can beat anyone on his day - he has a decent record against Stephen Hendry in particular - but is prone to inconsistency. This may be linked to his having the digestive disorder Crohn's Disease. His occasionally over-aggressive shot selection is also his downfall on occasion. He currently trains at Chelmsford's Rivermead Snooker Club.
