Snooker star beat Ronnie O'Sullivan despite "sometimes being unable to walk"

Snooker legend Ronnie O’Sullivan suffered another early exit from a tournament - this time against an injured opponent.

Martin Gould produced an impressive performance to dispatch the seven-time world champion 4-1 at the English Open to progress to the round of 16, despite dealing with a knee injury.

He has been unable to practise exactly as he’d like due to his troublesome knee, but he fought through any discomfort impeccably well, as he secured breaks of 60, 57 and 61 en route to a big win over The Rocket. After his win, the 41-year-old explained why he has had a quiet season so far before sending the world number one home.
