He didn’t want to continue if he wasn’t able to perform to the level he once could & who could blame him. Mentally that is hard to deal with. As I said, it’s just such a shame, he couldn’t maintain it. The other three players have been able to do this however and are still able to perform at the highest level, all still ranked in the top 10 more than 25+ years after turning professional.

By saying silly stuff like that means you have not got a clue what you're talking about. Snooker table is HUGE, with small balls and small pockets. It's anything but shooting balls into a pocket. It's about precision and positional play to even shoot anything to the pocket, not to mention the safety standard you must have in order to even think about shooting anything to the pocket. You cannot compare any game (i mean cuesport) to it when it comes to difficulty. The only exception would be Russian pyramid. PS. I'm not a brit!
