Who is the greatest snooker plaer of all time?

Question

there are many greats in the game from alex higgins cliff thornburn ray reardon steve davis to the modern day legends that are ronnie osullivan the late great paul hunter john higgins and stephen hendry with so much talent on the table it is obviously going to be difficult to come to a conclusion

Answer 1

Ronnie o Sullivan.bit gaga but awesome when he has a clear mind

Answer 2

I would pick Eddie Charlton. I am sure he has the maximum number of consecutive 147 breaks.

Answer 3

for me it is ronnie......

Answer 4

alex higgins

Answer 5

There cant really be a best of all time, because the game & the equiptment, has changed so much over the years that all the modern day geniuses of today, have had it shall we say easier than past generations, Overall though if you break it down joe & Fred davis started the ball rolling with countless tournament wins between them, then came Ray Reardon & John Spencer to the mix With Terry Griffiths in 79, Your Alex Higgins & Jimmy White Characters came along in Slightly diffrent eras & captured the hearts of millions, Steve Davis Dominates The 80's Then Hendry Breaks every record thats ever been set. Ending with the immortal Ronnie O'Sullivan who breezes round the table with such ease & flamboyance making the fastest ever maximum on tv. You can take your pick from that lot for a start then add a couple of dozen new up & coming players. As I say its d**n near impossible....................... good question though.

Answer 11

alex higgins, jimmy white

Answer 12

Jimmy White is the greatest of all. I was dumbfounded once in the crucible threatre when i saw him made a deep check side s***w shot, thunderously blasting the black in the pocket, sending the cue ball suerving grotesquely crazy back to the D-area. It was a shot of frustration and raw brute power but yet so satisfying to watch. That shot sent crowd bawling and whistling with an impromptu standing ovulation. I fell in love with him since then.. don't see any players play shot like this any more. His audaciously bold flaunting of his power and cueing action just made the referee wondering the pocket was still attached, unbelievingly shaking his head for mercy. Shots like this makes lasting impression for a lifetime, he is the whirlpool sensation of all time.... amazing POWER!!

Answer 13
