This year ?

O’Sullivan
Selby

I think that is all of them ?

Your question doesn't really correspond to the thread title, but okay... :smile:

The year 2007 had ten players who were former World champions at the time of asking, including Dott as the reigning champion. It also had two players who went on to win the World title in later years. :smile:
