Chris Rogers
Chris Rogers first appeared on Countdown on 3 March 1995, defeating Barry Hughes 60-34 in the 38th heat of series 29. Chris went on to win five more heats before falling at the hands of Andy Cusworth, 55-52. Chris's six wins, however, were enough to see him return for the series finals as #1 seed. In the final rounds, be beat Tony Buffey and Stanley Ward on his way to a grand final showdown with Darren Shacklady. In the final, however, Chris went 16-0 down after 2 rounds and never recovered, eventually losing the game 105-63. Chris's performances were enough to earn him an invitation to participate in Championship of Champions VIII, which also doubled as a qualifying group for the supreme championship. Chris beat series champions Alan Sinclair and David Acton on his way to a grand final showdown against Kenneth Michie, and this time, the result went in his favour as he ran out the 71-49 winner to become the eighth champion of champions. Chris's win saw him enter the Supreme Championship at the quarter-final stage, where he lost to John Clarke.
