Glen Webb
Glen Webb was a finalist in Series 23, a contestant in Series 68, an octochamp in 69 and a participant in Championship of Champions XIV. Notably, in his fifth game in Series 68, he scored 141 points, the most ever achieved in a heat game as well as in any game in the new 15-round format.
On his return in 2013, Webb won 8 games, scoring 945, notably the highest octototal when not all of the games were a century or higher. He also became the first contestant to have qualified for the finals of multiple series (besides Series 33 and the 30th Birthday Championship).
Webb returned to Countdown in 2016 for Championship of Champions XIV, where he was knocked out by Tom Cappleman in the opening round despite having spotted three nine-letter words.
