BBC SPORT | Other Sport... | Snooker | Hunter loses battle with cancer

So sad. :(

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 :)

Had just seen this on Sky News, couldn't believe it. I thought he was getting better, not on deaths door! 27 yrs old, what a terrible waste of life and leaves a wife and young daughter.

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.

That is sad. I used to enjoy watching him play :(

s**t no way,so young never heard anything on the news.
rip paul.

Threads combined so edited to make sense.

He cometh up and is potted, like an easy red.

Great loss to snooker world.
my thoughts with his family.

Sad news :(

Was a talented player with lots to offer

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.

That is no age to die :( RIP Paul.

Sad, no age at all. At 27 myself it really makes me think.

:(

good work!!

:( :( :(
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

Just heard on the radio, 3 x Masters Champion, no mean player !

RIP

Sad news. :(

Really really sad :cry: Great snooker player, seemed a really nice guy, and not just a little gorgeous to boot! RIP Paul.

27, WAY to young. :(

Such sad news. :(

christ, didn't even know he had cancer, RIP.

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 shag. He then made a dramatic fightback, winning the match. :thumb:

Good player. Will miss watching him play :(

just seen this on the Beeb, dreadful loss:(

That's true, he called it Plan B.....

Gave himself slippy fingers for smooth cueing action? :D

very sorry to hear about this, so young to have such bad cancer too.

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..:(
