Ken Doherty v Swail is the stand out tie for me. <cool>

Also really hoping Davis can make it, 30 appearences would be something special indeed :cracker:

Indeed and I am sure the BBC will do a tribute for him, , it will be a record he will keep as I can't see hendry still plaing in 10 years time. This will be Stephen's 4th decade playing at the crucible, is there anybody else doing the same? Parrott and White gone, I can't think of who else left played there in the 80's

Drago, White, Hendry and Davis will be the only tour pros next season who played at the Crucible in the 80s

If he qualifies he will have played at The Crucible in the 70s,80s,90s,00s and 10s - 5 DIFFERENT DECADES - FACT <ok>

You always heard John Lowe refered to as the only darts player to have won the world title in 3 different decades (79,87 and 93) until Taylor also achieved the feat this year.

Likewise Cliff Richard always went on about how he had a number 1 hit in 5 successive decades (50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s) once he had the Xmas number 1 in 1990.

Hendry also one of only 3 players to win a Ranking tournament is 3 decades the others being Jimmy White and John Higgins in the Welsh Open.

Steve never managed that <ok>

I can't believe so many people are going for Lee given what he has been through over the past few weeks.
