Great thread

Is there a big snooker fanbase in Britain? Most of the players on Eurosport are bongs and most of the tournaments they show are played there.

>The frame should be done and dusted he'll need at least 4 snookers to win from here

>>74588259
You invented most competitive sports, to be fair. Football, rugby, cricket, golf, tennis, curling, hockey, etc.

Dennis Taylor John Parrot Tony Knowles?

>>74589992
I would say only modern players like Selby could realistically contest a spot, much more depth in quality now.

Any Asians in your top 10 yet?

>>74590706
I think top 10 is much more opinionated, definitley my top three, regardless of order cannot be disputed imo. Ding is probably the best, Wenbo though looks like he might overtake as top Asian. Fu picked up form and is consustintly top 20 but he's not top 10 all time no way, and neither was Watana.

Ill do a quick mock top 10 list based on my opinion:

1:Ronnie O'Sullivan
2:Steve Davis
3:Stephen Hendry
4:Alex Higgins
5:Joe Davis
6:Mark Selby
7:Jimmy White
8:John Parrot
9:Ray Readon
10:Dennis Taylor

Some players pre-crucible I haven't really seen much of so the list is perhaps a bit unfair.
