And earlier this year he was chosen to represent Scotland at the European Pool Championship in Malta.

Discussing his achievement, Wilson said: “I’ve only started putting in the real time and effort the last couple of years.

“To improve my game and, even a year ago, I’d have been absolutely nowhere near being able to achieve this.

“I’m extremely proud of myself yet still have a long way to go to get where I want to be in the sport.

“Representing Scotland has given me a confidence boost to progress even further.”

Wilson – who works at a Wetherspoons called The James Watt in Greenock, Scotland – was given time off by his boss to practice and compete.

Pub shift manager, Tayrn Coyle, said: “We are all very proud of Jamie playing for Scotland.

“He absolutely loves the game and has worked so hard for this.”

Wilson has spent the last two years working hard on his game.

The 2025 European Pool Championship was won by Joshua Filler of Germany.
