Nigel Bond could so easily have been part of our discussions about the best players never to have won a ranking title. He was doomed in this decider against John Higgins – only to get the snooker he needed.
With stuff like this and his famous comebacks, Bond’s been involved some pretty sensational snooker moments for someone you’d think was an ‘unremarkable’ player.
With his longevity on the tour he’s the kind of player you can’t help but respect.

One of my favourite commentary moments, that.
“He was almost straight!”
I always think it’s from the 2007 maximum against Selby.
You could tell Ronnie knew he’d played a blinder with that shot. He looked so pumped.

7. 2006 World Championship final, frame 31 of 32: Graeme Dott 69 (61)-61 (51) Peter EbdonHaving been 15-7 down, Ebdon was on the verge of reducing his deficit to 16-15. Graeme Dott was falling apart, his dream of becoming a World Champion destined to become a nightmare.
And then he did this. Out-fucking-standing.

6. 1994 World Championship final, frame 35 of 35: Stephen Hendry 82 (58)-37 Jimmy WhiteThe most heartbreaking frame ever played? Certainly for us Jimmy White fans. Leading 37-24 with the reds perfectly set, he missed a black off its spot – his last ever shot in a World Championship final. Hendry even teased us by nearly missing a pink with the rest.
Nearly.

Arguably so, though Ronnie himself has said that he prefers his maximum against Ding at the Welsh Open because of the left-handed deep screw he had to play...

One of the funniest moments in sports history. Was reminded of it this year when Man City had a injury time winner in the Champions League only for it to be VARed.

I wasn't sure what to make of Higgins at the time but the way he finished that frame when it looked like going 17-16 was brilliant.

One of the ballsiest breaks in history. I couldn’t believe my eyes. Top ten for sure.
What did you take me for? The BBC?

It's a bloody class thread, if I do say so myself. You fully deserve a pat on the back, so feel free to give yourself one.
Take no notice of clowns like BSP trying to derail the thread with their nonsense.

Maybe the biggest genius moment of his entire career. Even more than the 5:20 minute maximum.
Virgo described it perfectly, it was as "though he hit the balls and they disappear."
And he was fat too.
