as everybody is introducing him/herself so nicely on this board, I'll give it a go as well.
Unfortunately I am also just an admirer of the game/players and don't play myself.
I got involved in watching through my then 7 year old, which somehow always got stuck at Eurosport, whenever a snooker game was on. In the beginning it was fun figuring out the rules of the 'strange' pool game just by watching.
I soon got hooked, it was in 2004 and players like Paul Hunter and Ronnie (both with their Alice bands- which I thought were quite cool) whizzed around the table. In particular I remember the 2004 Players Championship, where Paul was beaten by (a for the last time victorious) Jimmy White.
I still like all these players, but recently added Neil Robertson to my fav players list (he looks a bit like my youngest brother and erm, plays great).
Ah, of course, also came over from the BBC board, thanks for having us all!
