Shocking lack of knowledge from Carter.
Are sullivans 7 titles in 31 attempts that impressive? 22%
Taylor's strike rate in darts is closer to 60%
If you took a talent like Alex and gave him all the advantages of this era it's folly to say he wouldn't be successful

Williams and hendry have a long history of winding each other up

Your thoughts on the praise Higgins received?

As high as 2nd all-time in terms of peak performance apparently?

[sennafan24]

Bingham in real bother now.

Needs to win 2 out of the 3 remaining frames I feel.

I'm fairly new to snooker.

Still my top 5 greatest is as follows:

Ronnie
Hendry
Davis
Higgins
Selby

Williams just behind.

Ronnie is my favourite, then Williams and Hendry.

Hendrys star didn't shine for so long but at his best I think he beats ronnie

I need to read up a bit more about Hendry

But currently my impression is the opposite. It is possible will change my mind though.

He pretty much invented Ronnie's game
You'd struggle compare anything before that due to the equipment
They wouldn't play like today on 70s tables.
Be impossible

Gilbert has completely folded

[TheMalteseDart]

Toy boards and now toy tables!

[sennafan24]

[The Thorn]

Ray Reardon practically made Ronnie's safety game when he was his coach in 2004. Ronnie often says this aswell it made him the complete all round player.

Its brought up in the Ray Reardon documentary on the I Player.
