Topic: Who is the best?

Calm down Danny. You dont turn into a tosser cos one person doesnt agree with you. Tell it like you see it.

Don't know much about Steve Knight but I'd say the best player at the moment would be Darren Appleton.

When I was getting into pool the only name I really heard in the UK was Darly Peach so I rate him very highly too.

However, in a few years time I think the best player in the UK will be Jayson Shaw. That guy makes the game look easy.

I am more in agreement with the majority on this thread, although back in the early 90's, I remember that Dazzler, Knight, Donlon, and Lee Kendall were regularly in Pot Black/Cuesport Magazine tournament reports for having won regular Pro9 events as well as doing well in tournaments in Europe & USA, and so Dazzler and Knight Rider both have had the same level of experience, but as for being a good all round shooter and on his achievements, I would have to say that Dazzler would probably walk away with the cash, but in saying that, if such a match had ever been played, it would have most likely gone all the way with maybe only a 1 or 2 rack difference in the final scoring.

There's nothing like resurrecting a six year old post to really confuse and annoy everyone... Making it look like these comments are topical, when actually you are responding to posts made 6 friggin' years ago.

Please check the forum posting dates in future, and if they are ancient like these ones, start a NEW forum thread so we don't all look like pillocks... Ta!

With 6 years absence I think the best player IMO should be the biggest achiever in the sport - Who's won the most prestigious World and National titles - Whether or not you like a players playing style is irrelevant - Its not a popularity contest.
