There has obviously been a typo in the picture FKL should be JKL0

People always say who is the greatest player to never win the world title and obviously Jimmy Whites name is always first mentioned
Matthew Stevens for me has to be up there as well.
Watching the 2002 semi final v Ebdon now and just reminds you what a great chance that was
16-14 ahead and 61-28 ahead with 1 red left.
If he had just got over the line in that frame he would have been in the final and may have beat Hendry himself like Ebdon did.
He also got to 2 finals losing 18-16 both times to Williams and Murphy
In fact in a 6 year spell between 2000 and 2006 he got to 2 finals, 3 semis and lost in the 2nd round once1 -
Sorry, but The Outrageous Pocket Pocketeer is rubbish, who decided to have such similar words in 2 of the sections

How Stevens lost that 2002 semi final I'll never know. That said, Jimmy should've won at least 1 of those world finals, probably 2paulie8290 said:People always say who is the greatest player to never win the world title and obviously Jimmy Whites name is always first mentioned

Gonna be a sad one today
2002/2003 semi final between Ken Doherty and Paul Hunter
Before Mark Selby, Paul Hunter was my favourite player it was only after his passing and I saw Mark Selby play just after that he became my new favourite player1 -
Yep saw that was todays game. Such a tragic loss at such a young age. A fantastic player.0

Its a shame we didnt get to see him a Sheffield one final time0
-
Not really, solid player and a proper battler eg. Dott mould but very painful to watch. The latter years he did speed up a bit but never really a fan personally, he made the best of it and done well.paulie8290 said:Its a shame we didnt get to see him a Sheffield one final time0 -

But a very good servant of the game and a 3 time crucible finalist and its a shame he doesnt get the final Sheffield goodbye0 -
Just because he has been a good servant, noone deserves a place at the Cruicible you have to earn it. fwiw i dont agree when they give wild cards to the seniors and whoever wins the seniors event gets a chance through qualifying. People who have been greats shouldn't have divine right to enter or shortcut in my book.paulie8290 said:

Just said its a shame he doesnt get one last goodbye at sheffield and has had to retire now with his last match being in December 2019
Its like a footballer, retiring with his last game being a few months previous, its always a shame they didnt get one last chance to say goodbye to their fans0 -

Ebdon was quick and attacking when he was young, also had long hair in a pony tail. He changed his game completely and it paid off in 2002.paulie8290 said:

I was delighted when he won it because a) I can't stand Hendry and b) I once beat him 3-2 in a pro-am.0 -

And just like that I have pretty much lost all my respect for Peter Ebdon.
Some of the rubbish he has been tweeting and retweeting recently about covid19 is ridiculous1 -
Been forced to unfollow him on Twitter now, all he tweets about is ending lockdown and saying it should be up to us what we do no the government and talking up covid19 like its not as serious as it is.paulie8290 said:And just like that I have pretty much lost all my respect for Peter Ebdon.

I know everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but I have lost so much respect for him after his tweets the past week0 -
