After Jimmy won, both players went back to the lounge and socialised for hours with family, friends and guests. Paul was a true gentleman and it was impossible to know if he'd won or lost.<br />A credit to the game and a very sad loss.Graemenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-69364854882758222182012-10-09T17:35:41.394+01:002012-10-09T17:35:41.394+01:00I agree Paul wasn't a saint as you put it, but...I agree Paul wasn't a saint as you put it, but I don't remember anyone ever telling me they didn't like him.<br />Also what sticks in my mind is the way he took defeat to Ken Doherty after being a mile in front in the world semi finals.<br />A crushing blow taken graciously which proved to me, that snooker was just a game to Paul.<br />Something others could learn from.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-88615087682563778342012-10-09T12:53:02.489+01:002012-10-09T12:53:02.489+01:00RIP Paul Hunter.

He was still smiling in defeat and Jimmy's dad put his arms round both players and hugged them. 2 great sportsmen;3 genuine blokes - there couldn't have been a better advert for snooker.That's what sport should be about.Raynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-7363917415808521452012-10-09T11:16:49.105+01:002012-10-09T11:16:49.105+01:00RIP The Beckham of the Baize...
