John Parrott urged snooker fans not to listen to Ronnie O'Sullivan after he secured an historic seventh world title at The Crucible on Monday night.
O'Sullivan, 46, was at his sublime best on Sunday as he opened up a 12-5 lead over Judd Trump, raising the prospect of the final being over with a full session to spare. However, Trump dispelled any notion of a procession by winning six of the first eight frames, to leave matters at 14-11.
From there though, 'The Rocket' regained control, making two 80 plus breaks to extend his lead to five frames, and effectively end the contest. At 17-11, a clearance of 85 sealed another world crown, drawing him level with the legendary Stephen Hendry.
