How to become a snooker fan in five minutes

I have been a snooker fan for a long time and I really admire this guy: Ronnie O'Sullivan, nicknamed "The Rocket" due to his rapid playing style. He has been World Champion on three occasions and is considered by many fans, critics and fellow professionals as the most naturally talented player in the history of the game. O'Sullivan is right-handed, but can play to a high standard with his left hand. He has also been involved in a number of controversial incidents during his career, and last weekend he lost the Masters title in the final for the second consecutive year (9-10, despite leading 9-6... it was one in the morning, I had to work the next day and I went to bed so cross!). Nevertheless, O'Sullivan is the greatest and most spectacular player. Look how he pots the balls so quickly and still have so much control on the cue ball. Even if you are not into the game, it's fun to see how he gets this century break and makes it look so easy!
