Who do you rate as the greater player? The old legend Reardon with his 6 World titles or MJW, who is a modern day Great. Who is the greater Welsh legend?

It's a close call, but I'd say Reardon, and he's way before my time, I wasn't even born back then.
He was such a clever player, 6 time world champion can't be ignored.

It's a good question, worthy of discussion.
It's definitely Reardon though.

People often overlook that Reardon was one of the best players in the world even in his amateur days. There wasn’t really much of a professional game at that time. 1964, he won the English Amateur very handsomely - probably the hardest event in the world to win at that time.
