Ronnie O’Sullivan will be Lauren Laverne’s guest on Radio 4’s excellent show Desert Island Discs on Sunday. I thought it might be fun to speculate which songs he might choose or post what we would pick if we were castaway.
For those not familiar with the format guests pick 8 tracks which are close to their heart, a book and a luxury item. At the end of the interview the host asks them to select their most precious song, the one they would rescue from the waves if the rest got swept way.
Obvs ideally I should have my own list ready before I start this thread but don’t

Well this might explain why I have a (not very) shortlist saved
Narrowing down to eight is hard
