It's his kids I feel sorry for. He had everything going for him, but threw it all away by getting greedy.

You’d never put him down as a greedy person

The Tequila video of him is my favourite. I have never seen any other player recreate that power. And if you look at the scores when he plays those shots, he had nerves of steel.
Stephen was a fool but I miss him

Just seen a thread on pressure players. With his cue action, and hunger for sinking long balls, Lee rarely found himself under pressure. I once recall him beating Selby in a best of 17. He only needed two breaks over 50. Bottle.

That shot is often mentioned as a really good shot but that was bad shot selection and he didn't get it either, surely he wanted to cannon the red.[*]

Yeah, you are right, it was a rubbish shot.

In the context of the match it was. There was no reason to play it that way, it looked like one of his dodgy shots, and he didn't really get good position on the red.
