Aye there's no weak links in the top 16 these days, they are all top notch. Back in the mid 80s even John Virgo was in the top 16. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Spider Posted May 2, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted May 2, 2021 They keep calling this a sport Seemingly oblivious to the fact that the players are wearing dickie bows, patent leather shoes and get upset if someone blinks too loudly.

Moderators Zico Posted May 2, 2021 Moderators Share Posted May 2, 2021 When I was at uni in Sheffield my campus was across the road from the crucible, so round this time of year you'd basically see snooker players wandering around going about their own business in between games Steve Davis in the queue for Gregg's Jimmy White in WH Smith reading, but not buying, the papers Stephen Hendry sat on a bench by the fountains doing scratch cards John Higgins watching the footy scores come in through the window at Dixon's Bet they don't mingle like that anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many players, towards the end of their playing careers, joined TV companies as pundits and commentators. Two or three became TV personalities in their own right rather than just ‘former snooker players’; John Virgo, John Parrott, Steve Davies for example. Question for those who remain avid watchers, do these newer batch of players have personalities like they did in the 70s, 80s and 90s?

There are just a lot more top end players these days. They all have countless 147s under their belt for example, whilst someone like John Virgo only ever had a top break of 139. Steve Davies was never really considered a character until his dominance was coming to an end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
