I'm not sure about the wording of the 2003 question Paddy... you say 'so far only'... unfortunately, that would give room for a return to the semi-finals, which sadly can never happen with Hunter. Is Hunter therefore an incorrect answer, seeing as the other semi-finalist was a one-time semi-finalist who is still playing professionally?
