I know there is a snooker thread but felt this deserved 1 of its own.

This kid will be world champion 1 day I am calling it now

Robbie is 13 years old and yesterday made his 1st 147

He is also the stepson of Masters Champion Mark Allen.

    Very impressive but the kid is 13, can't help but feel sorry for him. Loads of pressure on him already, i wonder how much he really enjoys playing.

    If he didn't enjoy playing he wouldn't be smashing in breaks like that.

    I'm sure he's enjoying himself. Could be the new Ronnie O'Sullivan?

    I find it amazing that he is Mark Allens stepson - so, its not as if there is any genetic inheritance from Mark.

    I’m not sure that snooker requires much in the way of genetics.

    Just being around snooker tables with his stepdad during the best learning years will get you there if you have the application.

    Being related to Marty Feldman would be a hindrance.

    For anyone wondering because of his surname.

    His uncle is Barry

    This made me laugh out loud, but not sure why.
    Is it because of his eyes, comic ineptitude, or did he do a snooker sketch?
