Peter Ebdon World Champion 2002 recap

[@josephgonzalez_]

I remember playing Pete Ebdon as a teenager back in the mid-eighties at the Kings Cross snooker club. He knew he would go on to achieve big things even back then. And I knew he had a great chance. Nice bloke.

Peter never gets enough credit in the game. Great player

[@johnmc3862]

He got plenty of credit. There were better players never won the WC for sure.

[@jumbo8996]

Well deserved win, he was easily the best player that year. Love the pure emotion he shows at the end…

[@RByrne]

If you turn the volume up when Ebdon is playing in the finals, you can actually here the qualifying rounds of next year being played.

You win the internet!

[@seanmccombie6379]

Stevens never gets credit deserves

[@BigAmp]

Fully worthy of respect and admiration. He was on a mission and put in more than a maximum effort to succeed and he succeeded and became world champion. Thats one more win than most anyone else will get.

[@jordanwillrog]

Always seems the semi final of the world is always the best game

[@noeldarby1635]

my fave player growing up for no other reason that he looked like my uncle.

[@ANONYMUS-em2dw]

Respect Peter!!!!!!

Hunter 😢

[@henrikhyrup3995]

The WSC at The Crucible started in 1977 - Peter Ebdon's 2nd round match must have taken place around 1982 or so, his QF match around 1986, his SF match around 1990, and I guess he started the final about 1996 for him to win it in 2002.

1:07 just what is he drying exactly?😂

[@chriswilliamson7694]

That's the joke....

[@dennisfengcanada]

Good man. If only he's quicker...

[@VoiceOfThe]

Every so often you get a player who wins it once - Parrot, Doherty, Ebdon, Murphy, Dott, Robertson, Bingham, Trump and now Brecel. I don’t believe you’ll see him win it again either. There’s just too many great players nowadays.

[@stephenjwan]

Brecel is a different animal! That accuracy, aggressive attacking & modern defence, and he is still a spring chicken...he'll get few more for sure becoz in a year or so the class of '92 that's been holding the torch for the past 20+ yrs will be gone so yea, he'll be one of those leading the new age pros forward!

[@VoiceOfThe]

@@stephenjwan It’s amazing he won it. Nobody saw it coming and you can’t argue against it when he’s beaten three former champions in doing so, in Williams, O’Sullivan & Selby. I will say though, the aforementioned weren’t at their best, particularly Ronnie. Digressing slightly; I thought Williams last year was desperately unlucky not to make the final, as he was playing the best out of all the semi-finalists at the time. They were all on record saying this. Last year he equalled Hendry’s record of most centuries (16) at the Crucible for a tournament… yet he didn’t even make the final. Amazing stat! Hendry, made the final, losing to Ebdon that year.

[@johnlarkin3020]

I reckon brecel will be a multiple champion if he wins it again.

[@wayneanthonyholmes4437]

@@stephenjwan 😂😂 Ronnie was completely off his game, hendry, Davis etc all said it, brecel got lucky the TOP 6 PLAYERS all had a below average tournament. Go and watch some more off Brecel matches, he's a very average player who had one very good tournament when others were poor.

[@PlayMoreGolf-RipOff]

STEPHEN LEE won a triple crown event multiple times… at BURGER KING!

[@guessundheit6494]

If he weren't so slow, he'd be loved by everyone. Great player and sounds like a nice person, but holy crap, man, get a move on....

[@charlesscottkelly]

This one hurt. But Ebdon showed his bottle in the last few frames after a few big misses he managed it.

[@iandowie7014]

I had big money on stevens to beat him brings back bad memories lol

[@Alftupper334]

Definitely the most boring player to ever pick up a cue. Terrible advertisement for the game. Glad he's been long gone.

[@greaser7765]

Pitiful from ebdon

[@seadkurbasic9726]

So boring player.
