Death Of A Great Snooker Player

Paul Hunter died tonight of cancer at the age of 27 ( he would have turned 28 this weekend). He was rapidly getting worse lasy week and spent his final days in a hospice in Huddersfield. He had excessive tumors of the stomach and he continued to play until the end (even when he was undergoing chemo!), though he only won one match and dropped from 5th to 34th in the world rankings. A winner of many titles, notably the Welsh open, he will always be remembered as a young and talented player. A true inspiration to all young players. Condolences go out to his wife and young daughter.

RIP Paul Hunter, 27
