Missing off Griffiths' list of tournament victories are: the 1984 Malaysian Masters, where he topped a round robin group (Tony Meo was the runner up); the 1984 Singapore Masters, where also topped a round robin group (Steve Davis was runnr up); the 1985 Hong Kong Masters, where he beat Steve Davis 4-2; the 1986 Belgian Classic, where he beat Kirk Stevens 9-7 in the final.

Long amateur career
Does anyone know why he waited until his early 30s to turn professional? Is it because there wasn't much money in the game until the late 70s, so he couldn't earn a living? A source would be great, thanks. --Dweller (talk) 10:02, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
 * In those days professional snooker was a "closed shop" and it was very difficult to turn professional.  MidlandLinda (talk) 12:19, 7 December 2014 (UTC)

Can any one find a source for honouring contracts.
I remember reading in the newspaper at the time that Griffiths had a contract to play an exhibition at a small, south Wales club shortly after the world championship. It was reported that the club got in touch to say that they couldn't afford the fees that a world champioship finalist could expect and understood that he wouldn't want to come to their club. He replied that when he had agreed to go there he was glad of the booking and would honour all pre existing bookings at the original fee.

When Joe Johnson won the title at his first attempt he announced publically that he would be following Griffiths' example. MidlandLinda (talk) 12:28, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
