“With the Masters in full swing at Alexandra Palace, seven-time world champion Ronnie Ou0027Sullivan spoke warmly about the late Paul Hunter. Hunter won the third and last of his Masters titles on February 8, 2004, and Ou0027Sullivan feels that the man nicknamed the u0027Beckham of the Baizeu0027 was part of a golden era of the sport during the mid-noughties. Hunter died on October 9, 2006 aged just 27.”
