Although he has great touch and tactical knowledge Ken also has flair- I have seen matches of his when on fire and blowing other players off the table- I particularly remember a match against Mark Williams in Scotland a few years back where Mark became a virtual member of the audience!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-47646707802919888072008-08-01T00:42:00.000+01:002008-08-01T00:42:00.000+01:00I can't think of many other players with a similar...I can't think of many other players with a similar level of "natural talent" who've achieved as much as Ken has. More to the point, I can think of many players with more talent who've achieved considerably less (Steven Lee, Mattthew Stevens, and of course Jimmy White spring to mind).<BR/><BR/>He's never had the break-building talents of O'Sullivan, Higgins or the long-potting of Williams, but what he lacks he's more than made up for with flawless shot selection and an impeccable temperament.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-9629475227016676842008-07-31T16:28:00.000+01:002008-07-31T16:28:00.000+01:00i like baked potatoesthey are much more healthier ...i like baked potatoes<BR/><BR/>they are much more healthier than chipsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-59683931620940431402008-07-31T16:27:00.000+01:002008-07-31T16:27:00.000+01:00Can only echo the other comments, always a gent at...Can only echo the other comments, always a gent at the Crucible, had many a photo taken with him, he signed my Ken t-shirt as well and even let me bore him to death about my Law degree once.

He got a runner's up trophy, signed it, and gave it to 2 teenage girls who were snooker enthusiasts, then hung around in amongst the huge crowd in the club.<BR/><BR/>Then we all moved upstairs for food and drinks and he was sat on our table chatting to everyone about everything and anything while eating and drinking. It was a good nosh up, a good crack, and 2 portions he had too!!!<BR/><BR/>Nothing was too much trouble. He's now my father's favourite player after that evening. :o)<BR/><BR/>Andyandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14040711881348024153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-15608346113328597052008-07-31T13:12:00.000+01:002008-07-31T13:12:00.000+01:00I couldn't agree more.

He is was one of the most friendly, funny and unassuming people you could wish to meet. He was actually interested and joined in our conversations. (A lot of so called plyers wouldn't even make the effort). As soon as he had won Pot Black he actually came over to our table to show us the Trophy and have his photo taken with us before he did any interviews. Even after the interviews he came and had a drink in the bar with us so we could have a good look at the trophy with him.<BR/><BR/>Thoroughly top fella and a pleasure to have met him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
