Paul Hunter never reached the heights as a player he never reached legendary status when he was alive but in death he is a Snooker Icon and will for ever be a 27 year old taken just before his talent could be fulfilled.

SnookerFan wrote:Always reminds me of Paul Hunter this event. (Obviously.)

I remember Paul Hunter was in one of the first matches I saw live. It was against Mark Williams in the first round of the 2006 Masters, at the Wembley Conference Center. Paul had been well into chemotherapy treatment, and was now completely bald. But he'd wanted to go on with his normal life as much as possible, and was still turning up at tournaments when he could. He lost 6-3, but all the fans were happy to see him there and you could tell that Mark Williams took no pleasure in beating him.

At this years Welsh Open, before one of the semis, the announcer mentioned Paul Hunter's name as a previous winner of the event, and he got a spontaneous and heartfelt round of applause. It was quite a touching moment.

Paul Hunter, gone but not forgotten.

A fitting tribute. That's amazing you got to see him live.

I watched this again a few months ago, his final with Ronnie in the masters 2004.

6 - 2 down and he's laughing and waving to people in the crowd. I don't mind admitting I shed a few tears at the end of this.

What a tremendously warm spirit he had.

...and let's not forget Plan B.

I see Ashley Carty has just beaten Matthias Porn 4-0.

When i first saw the draw and saw this Matthias Porn,i actually thought it was Matthias Pom,i had to look at it a few times to realise that it was indeed "Porn"!,what a name to have!.




Anton Woywod 0-4 Reanne Evans
