Arrogant player from about 3 seasons ago ??

[Billy]

I have gone throught the seasons, but cant find anyone similar to your description. what tournament?

Thanks for getting this BOT, Paul. I don't think I've ever seen a thread hijacked quite so quickly before

Anyway. I can't think what tournament it was. My mind keeps pulling up Joe Perry, but I rather like him and he's far too placid a character to react the way I described.

I'll have a look through the rankings somwhere - see if a name jumps out.

Anthony Hamilton?

I remember he did not shake Ding's hand after the 147 in the Masters.

Indeed, disgraceful behaviour.

I was thinking of Higginson (but hes not arrogant) but checked, did not play anyone of them. Barry Pinches? He looks more boring than arrogant.

I have a complete mental block on a player's name from about 3 seasons ago. He beat a couple of big players, Hendry and (I think) White, but what I remember most was the arrogance he displayed after his wins. I can see him now, on the left hand side of the two-table split, goading the crowd after his win against one of the big names. Smarmy is another word I'd use to describe him and just couldn't take to him. If it helps with the ident, I can say that I don't think I've not seen him around for a while. Anyone any idea who I'm talking about?

ok so it was ian mcculloch. I cant remember the incidents you refer to, but i would imagine his "goading" was done with humour. Hes an extrovert or 'character' rather than arrogant IMO.

[Billy]

Not a quiz. Just utter relief!

Bare in mind, dannyd0g, that these were my very early impressions of the man and his goading was done after beating Jimmy White. I did warm to him slightly a few tournament on.

At least that's all done and dusted. Never thought the answer would've good old Ian McCulloch

[mattyshinobi22]

yeh , people dunno he got a sence of humour like mark williams

[spike]

I can second that as when a match finished early at the World Championship a few years back he came out and done a few trick shots etc. Had a nice way about him and and was charming and witty!

I thought Mark Allen as well after reading the opening post

[steedee]

cracking thread really had me thinking!

it did sound like mark allen

i remember mccullough being that way though, i always disliked him for wearing burberry too however i met him in a pub a couple of years back, what a superb bloke. my first impression was very wrong but it seems im not the only one!

[Matt_2745]

I said to him one year about the Burberry and he said "don't knock it, I got a lot of money for that" so fair play
