It's nice to have a top player for Wales. He makes us look good with his humble demeanour.

[@jamielarkin7274]

What a gent!!!! The way he is on camera is the way he is full stop, no acting

[@chrisevans5259]

100% honest and genuine guy, top player , one of the best, but his humble ness and likeability factor is so refreshing in the modern day money obsessed sports of today, and that makes him such a great ambassador for snooker and in sports in general. And his win will give belief an inspiration to all those who may think their past it,........as long as you work hard and never stop dreaming............dreams can come true

[@modfather147modfather8]

What a great standard of snooker that was played in the final. Fair play to both players . It was marks calm approach that amazed me. Great guy

[@joebloggs495]

Love Mark Williams. My favourite snooker player to watch.

[@templestark4779]

Love this guy's sense of humor around the table!

[@thewholecity]

The most lovable player in the entire game bar none.

[@tommcglone2867]

Its seems like Mark Williams ages like a fine wine. He just gets better as he gets older. If he isnt on the BBC Sports Personality of the Year shortlist then there would be a huge injustice to how extraordibary his comeback has been. To go from the brink of retirement after failing to qualify for the 2017 WSC to straight up winning the bloody thing a year later is fairytale stuff. Possibly the most popular winner since Alex Higgins. Yes i did just say that. The guy is impossible to hate.

[@sugs1191]

He was at his peak in 03.

[@the_alchemy_method]

“Its been 15 years since i won it the last time... somehow I turned all the odds around...” yes because he was in the zone, relaxed focused with full confidence...

[@condor1961]

Mark Williams is brilliant. A great snooker player, a very funny man and very polite to who ever he plays!! LEGEND!!!! ❤️👍

[@PoundshopRambo]

An absolute legend of the game. I was so happy when he won that 3rd World Title.

[@marstonrobert]

Legendary moments player!!!! We need more people like Mark Williams in snooker and in life!!!!!

[@Team-fabulous]

Great to see Mark back to his standard, not only a fantastic player but a super ambassador for the game.....

[@DaveT383]

An amazing sport and one of the greats here. Class of 92 - what a crew! And what an outstanding final it was indeed!

[@mohamednafraz8738]

Mark Williams is genius absolutely Genius

[@FvGa]

The definition of class.

[@waytothewill]

What a neat character, what a wonderful player, Mr. Williams is. I like to refer to him as Mr. Blue Shirts.

[@markkenna4104]

Couldn't of happened to a nicer man a gentleman and never gave up on his career when it looked dead incredible

[@TomMayhew]

It's worth watching the episode of Baize Watch with this on (ep 5). Mark's reaction when they approach his house is a thing of beauty.

[@nibsvkh]

Anxious for next season..Masters and the World's. Two of the best events of any sport/game that is played in the world. Btw I am Canadian and thank god for the internet as snooker doesn't get coverage on television.

[@michaelcorleone6852]

You look Indian, do you have Indian ancestors?

[@robinfletcher7609]

Well done Mark.

[@wilf18]

Down to earth gent. Like him.

[@MikBaa]

Class player, and always great to listen to...

[@the_alchemy_method]

It made him quite emotional talking about the world championships

[@davidp4043]

Nice interview. Well done Mark.

[@bnevillewood]

Well done Mark

[@MrTwister86660]

Great player. Love watching him. And mark Selby

[@danielosullivan7940]

Likeable bloke is mark, great player

[@Mitjitsu]

Probably the greatest final there has ever been.

[@1970pizza]

I have to agree Mitjitsu , i wanted both players to win lol . Brilliant final

[@sugs1191]

Was awesome. But I think Hendry vs Ebdon was arguably better

[@ozzyefc44]

@@sugs1191 think davies v taylor was better . The black ball final

[@kellyreardon7386]

Nice interview

[@jakebasham599]

Now we have to appreciate and take note of the elephant in the room…. That packet of Revels looks amazing!

[@theoworboys1152]

showing off his chopper again

[@otoolepw]

Theo Worboys pocketed some serious wedge, can well afford a few!

[@trustme352]

He deserves it nice bloke Mark is Mark my word.

[@terrymccannminder748]

Favourite player of all time, best potter ever an seems like a crackin lad👌

[@nakkadu]

Interesting to hear him talk about the nerves...it's really annoying how sometimes nerves can ruin your game and other times you can feel invincible, and it seems totally random.

[@James-lm6wt]

Down to earth guy

[@sticksman1979]

Good ad for Revels.

[@lorenzopearce8529]

B. What a class guy

[@vovssvovss7463]

Самый позитивный снукерист!

[@hansolofthiderman2719]

That way of seeing things when it comes to the compete-part, that should be on schedules in schools ! Its not all about the wins and success, easy to say and even harder to do, but its still equally truth !! How come ? Well, you have the answer in that chair !! Keep it up like that Mr Williams and their will be more to come, no doubt about it and they dont have to ban Ronnie, ha ha ha ha ha ha !! Cheers mate.....

[@duncanbirss4333]

Top man

[@gd2409]

Gentleman

[@Rubbafingaz1]

2nd most natural snooker player of all time!

[@sugs1191]

It's hard to separate these 2 tbh. I'm not sure who's greater. Ppl generally say John but at the crucible I think Mark has the wood on him. And his temperament is even better imo. I felt John in 98 at his peak was arguably the best ever but then Mark in 03 was amazing at his peak too - genuinely up there as arguably the greatest ever. Id give John the edge but Mark don't get his dues

[@eltonjohntributedeantorkin197]

Great guy and mark knopfler lookalike!

[@JeremyHoodDaniel]

Love the chopper

[@themaverick7707]

I like that bike behind him.

[@kendignam6892]

Legend

[@joshb3454]

[@TheLegenDacster]

I like what you did there. :-)

[@pbrynild]

I think he looks like Wallace from Wallace & Gromit...

[@HassanAli-ee2un]

The dudes face when the camera first switched angles 🥴

[@stitcha123]

Dude- get two cameras

[@iblacka1]

That is some chopper, but it's not a Harley Davidson!!😀😉

[@FlintSL]

His face looks like the packet of Revels

[@Riich87]
