Then again, I'd take Dave Hendon's life too sitting on my arse all day watching snooker.

His achievements so far (i.e. two big titles before the age of 23) are impressive but hardly unique. With regards to Trump's real greatness, lets just wait and see how things go before saying he's the new superstar of snooker, a real teenage sensation might come along soon who wins many big titles before the age of 21.

Like Alex before him, we owe him a debt of gratitude that can never be repaid in full.<br /><br />When you think of his past chaotic lifestyle, very little practice and his "go for everything" attitude to the game, he's overachieved really. Stephen Hendry and Steve Davis would have won very little if they had adopted the same lifestyle. <br /><br />The Whirlwind in full flow is something to behold and I've yet to see anyone with more shots in his armoury.<br /><br />The best compliment we can give him is that he is the geezers' geezer. We love him and always will.Raynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-79400254097976212402012-03-26T10:26:45.065+01:002012-03-26T10:26:45.065+01:00Congratulations to Jimmy White for reaching the fi...Congratulations to Jimmy White for reaching the first round proper of the China Open!
