Heard this on the radio before and nearly fell of my chair. Never even knew he was sick (partly cos i dont watch snooker).

RIP

Indeed. And a very good Snooker player as well. 3 time Wembley champ. Remember he played at the Crucible last year after he had just been diagnosed, that must have took some serious balls.

Holy fucking shit!!!

I checked the BBC Snooker website last week; must have been posted after I checked....

Paul Hunter was a fucking top bloke- He was the David Beckham of the snooker world and one of the best players in the game.

I really thought he was winning his battle... He played in the 2006 season despite his illness and I'm awed by his dignity.

His loss is a bloody cruel blow and he's leaving behind a wife and toddler.

God bless Paul you and may you rest in peace.

Heaven must have been short of an angel....

I know this is a condolence thread but I can't quite believe someone actually came out with this! What next Craig? Strap on an acoustic guitar for a rendition of Knockin' on Heaven's Door?

Anyway, terrible shame about Paul Hunter, talk about the worst luck :(

What a nice idea!

In case anyone fancies having a go, the chords are G, D, C throughout.

Yep, any old obvious, overblown, over-sentimental toss will do :nod: :thumb:
