Simply the Best

Ronnie O''Sullivan''s status as one of snooker''s all-time greats was cemented in 2017 by adding to his five world titles, a seventh Masters and sixth UK, thus equalling Stephen Hendry''s 18 ''triple crown'' triumphs. Now is the perfect time for his story to be told by Clive Everton - ''The Voice of Snooker''. Simply the Best traces Ronnie''s course from carefree junior prodigy to deeply troubled and depressed adult, and so to maturity and self-knowledge. Along the way, he emerges as instinctively warm-hearted, the most loyal of sons and a true sportsman in his acceptance of defeat. Even so, full consideration is given to Ronnie''s mistakes in a rounded portrait of one of snooker''s most fascinating, complicated and successful characters.
