And as I've said, one of my sporting heroes/idols. What he's done in his career is unbelievable. Especially the last few years. Be a massive loss to Snooker when he does eventually call it quits.
I do think people are getting carried away with the best of all time tag though, he has won the last 2 world titles against the worst standard of all time. he has even admitted that Hendry is the best of all time with John Higgins 2nd, the other day was the 1st time he has beaten Higgins in a few years. He does make the game look ridiculously easy though at times
Different in Osullivan can make a difference and play safe, whereas McCourt just keeps running into trouble until he pulls a belter out of nowhere with no positional sense?
Him and Phil Taylor have both been in their prime at the same time and took pub games to another level wile making Barry Hearn a even richer old man in the process, and i can't see us witnessing anyone as good as these two for the rest of our lives. we've been lucky to have had these to watch for the last 10/20 years.
