Career
He refereed at all the major televised tournaments beginning in the 1970s up until his retirement. His final match was at the 1997 Benson and Hedges Masters final when Steve Davis defeated Ronnie O"Sullivan 10-8 after trailing 8-4. This match was particularly notable for having a streaker run around the table leaving John Street speechless.
Street refereed in five World Championship finals between 1980 and 1995.
Street was co author of several snooker rule books and his final residence was in Exeter.
