But the 46-year-old is relishing the chance to take charge of his second Crucible final – the sport’s showpiece occasion – after refereeing the 2014 final.

“I would have been driving (on Sunday), then a taxi on Monday, for the party afterwards,” Moore told The Yorkshire Post.

“But, Porsche in Sheffield are doing the courtesy cars for the final on Sunday and Monday. So a Porsche is coming to pick me up and drop me at home for all four sessions.

“I can’t wait for that, I might be dropping a few hints to see if they would let me have one on lease for a year.”
