He was never a world champion, nor world number one, but at such a young age, you got the feeling he was never far away.

He's most remembered for his three triumphs at The Masters, where he became the known as the Comeback King.

It was at this venue where he year-on-year produced his best snooker, won places in the hearts of fans and made a competition his own.
