Not DDT either.

Clue : Oddly enough, the player you’re looking for was also Hendry’s first opponent at the Crucible too...

The great WT indeed, loomed large in Hendry’s early pro years being his first opponent at the Crucible in 1986 (Thorne won 10-8), his first victim at the Crucible the following year (Hendry winning 10-7) & his first Masters opponent in ‘89 (5-2 Hendry) which sparked off a winning run of 23 matches at Wembley until snapped by Alan McManus (9-8) in the ‘94 final.

Well done JN88 :clap:

Not Wattana. Very much from the Parrott/Wattana era of players though.
