The Curious case of
Matthew Stevens. He came into my head today as he had the natural ability to finish his career firmly in the pack with Murphy, Robertson, bingham and Wilson, the pack that were never good enough to make it into the ATG pack but will be looked back on as having very successful careers.
If he had dedicated himself like Wilson has then he would be in that group as Wilson has been coached to within an ich of his life whereas Stevens had actual natural ability.
It was like once his old man passed away he was just content to stay in the top 64 and not bothered about going deep into tournaments ever again, he has most probably been earning 20-30k per year for many years whereas Wilson has most probably has been making 200k + per year, doesn't seem just in a way does it.
