He is just so boring words cannot describe how dull i find the man.

i understand what you saying but i find it strange you think that because i find John a throwback to the 80s percentage play Davis used to play and i find John a modern version of Davis so how come your a Davis fan and find Higgins boring i find that contradicting yourself.

i do see similarities in Davis and Higgins and to be honest i didnt used to like Davis but since his decline set in and he became popular ive became a massive fan of the guy, and in total admiration for his dedication and longevity in the sport.

in 10 years you might like hendry then

in 10 years time hendry will either be long gone from professional snooker or he will still be around, but still playing the Mr Dour and spouting the old line of "Im playing well in practice and can still win the world championship" line

yes explain i thought he was a character when spitting image made him a puppet.

Steve "interesting" Davis

Witz78 wrote:well in the early to mid 90s he still believed he could win things despite Hendrys dominance suggesting otherwise.

Then he seemed to accept he wasnt getting any younger in an increasingly young mans game, so began to relax and express himself.

There was the funny incident with the streaker at the start of the final where before Davis would probably not even have acknowledged it such was his intensity around the table.

By now the fans were starting to warm to the new Davos anyway and this has continued for the last 15 years or so. Thats why i had a go at Wild, because its wrong to suggest Davis hasnt done anything since he became a character and popular. Weve had more than just the occasional heavy Round 1 loss to see our man in.

Ooooooooooooohhhhhhhh....
Controversial!

If he likes people purely for being past their best, he'll like Hendry in ten minutes.
