i dunno mate - Ronnie , Higgins(alex) and Williamson can all single pot as well imo..

however I would give him one thing over all others - cue power. he could banana screw at a quarter ball angle back to bulk without touching the sides,

its all well and good potting a tough red or colour but you need to get on the next ball. This fella could , just sadly not when it really mattered...

Yeah, I agree with most of that. You could chain me to a snooker table for 10 days and I wouldn't be able to pull off that pink to black shot he does at the end.

The problem as you say, was he didn't quite have that cue ball on a sixpence when he was in amongst the balls like Ronnie and Hendry had. Too many careless shots, too many times he snatched a shot under pressure.

But almost every World Championship he was guaranteed to win the shot of the championships (and probably number 2, 3, 4 and 5 as well). Could Hendry not have just let him win one world final? Bastard!
