He was charming and signed autographs, had photos taken and was nothing like I'd expected him to be. The second time was at the Crucible, when I say I met him, that's not quite true - he barged past my dad and pushed him to the floor and I shouted to him 'who do think you are?' to which he replied 'F**k Off'.

I have just been reading some of Clive's book from 2007 and he seems to imply how nasty he was but he does seem to be liked by some players like Jimmy White.

It will take some doing now with only 5 events left. It's time for WORLD SNOOKER to re invent the qualifying school or make the game open(with regional qualifying) so these boys can do it in their own country. WORLD SNOOKER?
