pcbear 10,913 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Tonight was the cue for him to take a rest and a break from the game, his pockets are full though so no financial hardship beckons, after his heavy defeat he will be feeling red faced a little blue and in a black mood, he has chalked up 7 world titles, happy retirement.

StewGer 606 Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 His comeback in the 1992 World Championship Final from 14-8 down against Jimmy White is one of my favourite sporting memories, 10 frames on the spin to win 18-14. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie0202 12,272 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Making his long awaited comeback for anyone who is interested right now on Eurosport 1. Playing Selt in the Gibralter Open and has just hit a brilliant century from a position where it never looked likely. Black was tied up for most of the break too. 1-1 right now although looking like it's about to go 2-1 to Selt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
