The younger O'Sullivan

[Bob Jewett]

Speaking of young players... I was sorting through some magazines and happened on this picture of a very young O'Sullivan.




This article was from the Pot Black Review of the Year for the 1990/1991 season.

If I had known the Junior Championships paid cash prizes, I would have practiced more.

An English player defeated a Belgium player in the final, in India, and O'Sullivan's biggest problem getting there was a Kiwi.

And these are junior players - playing for prize money.
Don't know what the exchange rate was, bu Ronnie probably pocketed at least $6,000

Do American pool players believe this fairy tale?
