O'Sullivan displayed incredible composure to make a 147 in the final frame of his semi-final match against Selby in 2007. He made another UK maximum in 2014.
Australian Robertson holds the distinction of being the only player to achieve a 147 in a UK Championship final, doing so in the sixth frame of his 2015 triumph against Liang Wenbo.
