Snooker at the 1964 Summer Paralympics

Snooker at the 1964 Summer Paralympics consisted of a men's event. It was held at the National Gymnasium, Tokyo[1]: 69  from 9 to 12 November 1964.[2]

The official Paralympics website states that there were four competitors, from three different countries: two from Malta, and one each from Great Britain and the United States.[3] Ian Brittain's history of the Paralympic Games mentions a further competitor, Hugh Stewart, as a member of the Great Britain team for both snooker and table tennis.[1]

Michael Shelton won the gold medal.[2] Following this, he was filmed for Mining Review 18th Year No.5 (1965).[4]
