My favourite is Mr Hendry

aafter growing up with his reign he was the best and he totally changed snooker.

Can you believe that it was Hendry that introduced the shot, blue pot to hit pink with white and open the reds,

It was unknown of players to open the reds using a shot off the blue into the Pink.

Insane, absolute legend. Changed snooker in my opinion.

Im very biassed cos i love the guy.


However,

Tony Drago was a legend aswell, fast action was quality.

Tony Drago is immense, first time i seen him playing was i think last season, he is so fast he puts rabbits to shame. cant see how he can chalk his cue. his average shot time is around 13 seconds! Crazzyy!! Seems a nice guy to, top dodger!

EDIT: What nationality is he.

I could look it up but i cba

No one can doubt Ronnies obvious talent and on his day without a doubt the most gifted player to ever of graced a snooker table.

Do think though over the last few years he has let himself down a little, sometimes over confident and sometimes just gives up.

John Higgins and done a fantastic job, showing everybody that a very consistent game plan and level headed approach brings alot of great rewards in Snooker.

Neil Robertson, because he is my mentor

Won against Joe Perry, surprisingly. (Me, not Neil :P)

I won 136-85, with a 100 point handicap :P

John Higgins,

Was born and lived on the same road as my dad.

Also he's genuine, constistant and down to earth.

Just like any guy you would meet in a pub for instance.

Shame he's a Celtic fan

&& He gets red cheeks when he's playing badly (Which is why im called Higgins when i play pool for money or competition, i get rosy red cheeks )

Also Ronnie, great to watch when he's playing badly or well.

You just never know whats he's going to do!

Aslooo!

I remember when Higgins was on a break and had won the game but needed last red for a century but the red was over by yellow and he was full ball snookered behind the spotted blue... he casually asked the ref if he could clean the blue ball, so the ref picks the blue ball up and starts cleaning...And then Higgins took the shot at the red! whilst blue was in refs hands!

He ment to do it ovbiously, was just being funny, and i was creasing!

Pretty sure it was Higgins, about 80%
