A Tribute to Paul Hunter - Snooker Pro.

[Colin Colenso]

As most of you know, Paul Hunter, the English Snooker pro passed away a few days ago, aged just 27, after fighting stomache cancer diagnosed just 18 months or so ago.

I met Paul just before his condition was diagnosed and was impressed by his casual manner, openess and and down-to-earth attitude. It was very suprising to soon after learn of his condition, but I was near sure he'd recover and go on to bigger and better things.

He is one of the greatest natural talents to have picked up a cue. He rocketed to snooker fame at a young age and soon proved himself as a real top 5 world level player with amazing tenacity to match his talents.

Here is a video tribute to Paul's memory:

Thank you Colin. Meeting Paul a few years ago is one of the highlights of my trips to Europe. He was such a solid player and such a wonderful representative for snooker all over the world. He was a very kind, warm, endearing person.
