This is true, of course, but not the answer I’m after.

Again true, but not the one. There are other players who have won triple crown events and reached world finals. The connection between these players is exclusive to them and no others.

Didnt know that about Doherty. Think he won only about six rankers in his career (i say only because of his talent would suggest he'd be higher up that list).
To win two back to back is a good achievement.
Wonder if Brecel can be added to the list this week?

I suppose, with hindsight, Doug Mountjoy was the big clue…

It was something they said in commentary about Brecel that prompted me to pose this question. Certainly an exclusive club to be in. If there had been a proper ranking system in the 70’s then I expect Spencer and Alex Higgins would also be on the list.

Or Stuart Bingham and Ali Carter ?
Both a cruel, cruel players ?
They have been "reduced", and that´s why they are so punishing and cruel people ?
Get in.
Do you actually really believe in that ??
And now then we have both Brecel and O´Sullivan playing at today ! Great times ! Are you absolutely sure Ronnie can´t learn from the late defeat he had against that opponent of his.... ? Strange people indeed involved with this sport.
They are all scared to death that some day they should give the credit where it is really dued. That´s the truth. Stuart and Ali are not "20 or 30 percent", they are not "reduced" at all. Sure, they can play a bit, sure. Or is John Higgins "reduced" ? No.
Just a one more drivel informations going on, nothing else. Hopefully we will get evrything sorted out.
Merry Xmas to all !
Come on Luca !!!!!!!!!! Come on "as he never misses" - Ronnie !!!!!!!!!!!
Or and and does Mark Selby has my phone-number or someone else´s or no-one´s or 400 000 people phone number and they all have his ?
What a drivels going. What a one huge, huge lie going on.

Stanley lived near me. Remember him being on one of John Virgo’s video’s. I had it on VHS. Stanley was the only funny thing on it - the rest was garbage.
