Career
Meo was a schoolfriend of Jimmy White in Tooting, South London, and the pair regularly skipped school to play snooker together. At 17 Meo became the then youngest person known to have made a maximum break of 147. He turned professional in 1979.
In 1984, Meo reached the final of the Lada Classic, facing world number one Steve Davis.
His only ranking title came at the 1989 British Open, beating Dean Reynolds 13–6 after beginning the tournament as a 200–1 outsider. In the same year, he reached the semi-final of the World Championship, losing 16–7 to John Parrott.
In 1986, Meo was one of five players under Barry Hearn"s management (along with Davis, Terry Griffiths, Willie Thorne and Dennis Taylor) who appeared on "Snooker Loopy", a hit single about the game recorded by Chas & Dave. Slipping rapidly down the rankings, Meo retired from professional snooker in 1997 and now runs a watch and jewellery shop in Hatton Garden.
