Career
Roe began his professional career for the 1986/1987 season. He then had two poorer seasons, before two quarter-finals in 1991/1992. Roe spent three successive seasons in the Top 16 and reached a highest position of 13th in 1994/1995 (up from, and back down to, no 16 in 1993/1994 and 1995/1996 respectively).
He then plunged directly out of the top 32 after a succession of early defeats, and never regained this status.
A run to the last 16 of the China Open was the highlight of Roe’s 2005/2006 season. In 2006/2007 his best were two last-32 runs, and another followed at the 2008 Welsh Open, the highlight of a solid 2007/2008 season.
62 in the rankings, carrying a very low one-year total of 4320 into 2009/2010. Roe dropped off the tour at the end of the 2009/2010 season, after 24 years as a professional.
