Never heard of him, but quite sad, and young too

I was 24 when I was first diagnosed, and then 26 when I got it again, beat it twice and turned 38 today, and still going strong

Default Paul Hunter dies

That's really sad, I thought his treatment was working as he was still on the pro circuit last time I watched.

Thoughts go out to his wife and daughter, that's too young to die

RIP Paul

Sad, good snooker player too. Cant believe how young he is still and for it to end like that, puts plenty into perspective.

And you failed to notice two other threads with the same sentiment.

Thanks mods, for combining the threads and making me look foolish.

Well in fairness, there were 3 threads in different places, so I've merged them.

I thought he was getting better too, he looked rather pale and run down last year but still played but i thought this was after treatment he had recieved and respected him so much for playing when he obviously was battling through such a barrier.
I thought he was on the up and didnt believe the post! what sad news and at such a young age too
Thoughts are with his family

Very sad. He was a very good player. Nice to watch.

Best story I heard about him, was years ago. He was losing a match (think it was a final. Could be wrong though) and was several frames down when It came to the 15mins tea brake. He retired to his dressing room to find his wife/girlfriend waiting for him. To cheer him up and lift his spirits, she shagged him there and then.
Returning to the table, and feeling a lot better after his tea brake ****. He then made a dramatic fightback, winning the match.

Good player. Will miss watching him play

Very sad loss at such a young age as always.

One thing I will say however, he smoked like a trooper..! I'll always remember him being on Superstars a few years back, think he only scored one point, but he was a great laugh and well liked by the other sportsmen.

Gotta feel sorry for his wife and young baby..
