A billiards match between Diggle and John Roberts, Jr.

Edward Diggle (1864–1934) was a leading professional billiard player,[1] known as "The Mechanical Methodical Mancunian".

Diggle was a protégé of John Roberts, Jr., and became his regular practice partner. He is described by cue sports historian Clive Everton as "a languid, wry man with a casual, half upright [playing] style with both legs inelegantly bent."[2]Шаблон:Rp In 1895, Diggle set the record for the break on a standard billiard table when he compiled a 985 against Roberts.[2]Шаблон:Rp Willie Smith credited Diggle's Шаблон:Cuegloss, a method to increase Шаблон:Cuegloss,as being an integral part of his own style.[3]
