Joe Johnson is an English former professional snooker player and Eurosport commentator, born in 1952. After winning the British under-19 title in 1971 and reaching the finals of both the English Amateur and World Amateur Championships in 1978, he turned professional in 1979. At the 1986 World Snooker Championship he started as a 150 to 1 outsider yet beat Terry Griffiths, Tony Knowles and Steve Davis to win the title, the only ranking title of his career. He reached the final again in 1987 as defending champion but lost to Davis, and later worked as a commentator for Eurosport.
