Amateur snooker player who used to clean toilets slams Ronnie O'Sullivan's harsh comments

Welsh snooker player Daniel Wells has slammed Ronnie O'Sullivan after the icon said he "was not good enough" to get a main tour card.

Wells' career took a cruel turn during the Covid-19 pandemic, before which he was ranked No 52 in the world. After testing positive for the virus, the Neath-born player missed events and then never regained form, and lost his place on the pro tour at the end of the 2021/22 season.

The 34-year-old was then forced to join his mum's cleaning business to make a living, often cleaning toilets to boost his income. But he made a huge statement at the Welsh Open in Llandudno last week, fighting back from 2-0 to beat former world champion Judd Trump before going out later that day to Shaun Murphy.
