The author is snooker's most written and talked about player, and
its greatest showman. His supreme talent and style have made him
the people's champion and, as one commentator put it, 'the question
is not how much does the author need snooker, but how much does
snooker need him?' At 15, the author became the youngest player to
compile a recognised maximum break during the English amateur
championships. He turned professional in 1992 and won 38 successive
matches that year alone. In 1993, at just 17, he became the
youngest winner of a world ranking tournament when he defeated
Stephen Hendry to win the UK Championships. In 1997 he recorded the
fastest 147 break in history - in just 5 minutes and 20 seconds -
and has gone on to better that three times. In 2001 he confirmed
his legendary status by winning the Embassy world title. But the
author's autobiography will reveal more just than just the sporting
side of the man the BBC speculates 'could become the world's
greatest ever'; it will also be a full and candid account of an
extraordinary life. It will tell of the infant who was introduced
to legendary snooker clubs at an impossibly early age, of the boy
who was taking on and defeating all comers at 12 and frightening
off the bookies in the process, of the teenager whose life was
decimated when his father and mentor was sent to prison for life;
of the man dubbed the 'genius' of the modern game who regularly
threatens to quit the sport to pursue other interests at the grand
old age of 28.
