Dubliner Doherty famously won the cherished Crucible crown in 1997 – and he’s been mightily impressed with Northern Irishman Allen this season.
Player of the season Allen is sitting pretty at world No 2 in the provisional ranking list having won THREE major titles this season. And Dubliner Doherty believes now is the time to cash in when it counts the most.
