Ok so which amateur shall be our imaginary stephen hendry in a world where wst were more pragmatic and reinstated the seven times crucible champion at their expense , ben fortey wales , brian ochoiski france , paul s davison england , jamie curtis-barrett england , dylan emery wales or michael white wales , white is up against compatriot and aficionado of high culture mark williams so that might be the most fun to run with .

Think I'll go for the French player, has there ever been a French pro? Maybe French / Canadian, was Alain Robideux French/ Canadian?

Fun fact: Dominic Dale will play Stephen Maguire tonight with Maguire's cue, which Stephen sold to Dom right after their match (Maguire lost, obviously) three weeks ago at the German Masters because he was so fed up...

That made me chuckle. Wonder if it was all bashed up and dented.

Bob Chaperon is the only other I can think of

[Cue crafty]

Bob Chaperon is the only other I can think of

i'd been trying hard to forget him - how the hell did he beat Alex in that one and only final he was in! Anyway back to forgetting.....

No , it probably has a Titanium tip specified by Maguire cause it helps slamming it through doors easier

but whereabouts in canada is chaperon from , the point is is he french speaking , wikipedia says thorburns from british columbia , stevens from toronto , werbeniuk's from winnipeg and jim wych is from calgary , none of those areas as far as i know are french speaking

edit : greater sudbury ontario where chaperon comes from is 25 % french speaking but chaperon didn't look or sound french unlike robidoux .

well its working so far , good win against the experienced davison , thing is though its probably a bigger story that i think its the first time someone from france has won a pro match of best of 7's or more , pretty cool and something new god knows the game / sport needs something new !!
