As you guys know, Paul died a few days ago from his cancer. :'(

RIP Paul Hunter.

Can't believe he's been outlived by Alex Higgins.  ;D

hell of a talent he was, and a hell of a human being also. Always talked about as a potential champion, and there was no reason to suggest he wouldnt have won it all. Snooker isnt dominated anymore, there are a good 10-15 players who have the ability to win any tournament they play in. And the money puts the Olympia/Arnold/GP's to shame!
