Marcel Gauvreau
Marcel Gauvreau
He had a habit of talking about himself in the third person, so I suspect he is the answer here. (Or both answers)

I'm trying to imagine the world through Parrott's eyes & level of expertise ...
It wouldn't be renowned grinder Graeme Dott, would it?

Hmmm Cliff Thorburn is the obvious name when it comes to grinders but that has already been guessed and was incorrect and I swear he was involved in a very long match at the Crucible so struggling to think of others.

That’s the one… following their second round match in 1999, which Parrott won 13-12 after a marathon ten hours, 18 minutes of play.
