    I’ve watched Ronnie for years you know I’ve always been a snooker fan I grew up in the East End of London where I would go from school either over to park to play football I’d go up to the The Local snooka hall in chenford up chenford

    Mount um and then obviously when I moved up to Manchester um all we used to do after training was go to the snooker Hall uh me Gary Neville Phil Phil Neville Sky buy all of us so you know I’ve admired Ronnie for for years um so

    When you see him and what he’s been through and all the pressures that he’s been under but all the pressures that he puts on himself as well and you know I’ve obviously been part of a a team sport throughout my whole career um and to be in a sport like Ronnie inin where

    You’re sat there I’ve always wondered you know when I’ve looked at Ronnie and other snooker players because I’ve you know I grew up with Jimmy white and Steven hry and you know all of these amazing players I’ve always wondered what goes through their head when

    They’re sat there so you know to be able to have a mind M on Ronnie at such an important moment for us was was perfect you look back at the journey that he’s been on uh over the years and you know I remember him winning that first title

    And and I watched live his first his last title that he won and you know without doubt for me in my eyes he’s one of the best if not the best in the game you know you you hear someone like Jimmy explain him as a genius that’s exactly

    What he is you know you sit there and you have to focus whatever is going on in your head you have to focus on that moment and yeah it was difficult and yes he had a journey of ups and downs but he is without doubt one of the greatest if

    Not the greatest snuk player of all time and you know it’s and still doing it and still doing it and and that’s you know that last that last championship that he won it was very emotional you know not because we were making what we what we

    Were making with with Ronnie but to see his kids there to see his dad there you know that that for me was everything and it you could see the emotion that was pouring out of him because of that um so it’s a hell of a journey a hell of a

    Story and I’m so glad that we were were trusted to make it for him it was exciting in many ways for myself to sort of like put myself under that bit of pressure thinking right you know I have to deliver you know it’s sort of like my

    Rocky moment you know I’m in training camp this is me now going like you know put and all everything into snooker which I haven’t always done you know I’ve always sort of tried to enjoy it and not really commit totally to it um but once I decided to do this it was all

    About you know this is I’ve got to really like sell you know give myself totally to snooper and um and I didn’t want to watch it back and think you know I let myself down and yeah I quit there I quit here I weren’t really giving it

    100% now I think also as well you know at some point when I do stop playing it’s nice to um for my family and my kids’ family when they have kids and children to be able to stick the DVD on or whatever they put on at that time and

    Just go look that’s he was your great great grand dad
