Show Notes Chapter Markers

Fergal O'Brien recently retired from being a professional snooker player, having enjoyed a 33 year career as a pro. His finest moment came in 1999 when he won the British Open, beating Anthony Hamilton 9-7 in the final. He competed in the Masters final in 2001 v Paul Hunter and just lost out 10-9 having held a 7-3 advantage at one point. He now joins Eurosport to commentate on the 2024 World Snooker Championship at the Crucible. I chat to Fergal about his career and we preview some of the eye catching 1st round fixtures at Snooker's biggest tournament, the world championship in Sheffield! Hope you enjoy the interview!
