Leicester Lad in the World Snooker Final

BM, please dont take this the wrong way, but you are so thick in understanding what im saying.

Most people would rather see a jimmy white v o’sullivan game than a hendry v davis game, purely because they’d be entertained more.

Selby entertained the most, thats what i would call a true champion, a champion of the people, like what they called jimmy, o’sullivan and hurricane higgins.

In the 2007 world championship snooker finals, Mark Selby was the true champion of the people, the greatest entertainer.

Yeah i take that point of him taking his time, and if im honest, i think he did it to frustrate higgy higgins.

His asian manger did tell us though, that after his break down 18 months ago, when he got his act together after all the things in his personal life was upsetting, that he decided to concentrate on his snooker, for his dad, and that, it was about playing the game to the max of having fun, which meant concentrating on every shot, so not only did he play serious to win, but he did so with an attitude of playing for fun.

To get within touching distance of winning the tournament, is brilliant.

He did this with a certain style that is rare these days, he reminded me of hurricane higgins. he may not have had what we know higgins had, but its what higgins had in one tournament.

And remember, higgins didnt always win, or be in a final.

I really hope that Selby continues this way, and thankfully, nothing has been reported of him letting this tournament get to his head.

What is football, its not a big club spending £30,000,000 on a player, its kicking a ball.

Snooker is a game to be played for fun, Mark Selby did that at the highest level.
