Mad-on-the-cocks 0 Posted October 9, 2006 Author Share Posted October 9, 2006 Paul Hunter has died at the age of 27 after a battle with cancer. The Leeds player was taken into the Kirkwood Hospice in Huddersfield last Friday and died on Monday evening. The three-time Wembley Masters champion was diagnosed with dozens of neuro endocrine tumours on the lining of his stomach in March 2005. Despite chemotherapy treatment, Hunter continued to compete professionally but won only one match last season and fell from fifth to 34th in the rankings. Hunter turned professional at the age of 16 in 1995 and won his first major title, the 1998 Welsh Open, at the age of 19. He also won the Welsh title in 2002 and picked up the British Open trophy the same year but he will be best remembered for his exploits at Wembley. Hunter recovered from 7-3 down to beat Fergal O'Brien 10-9 in the 2001 final and fought back from 5-0 to beat Mark Williams 10-9 in the final a year later. He completed a hat-trick of Masters victories in 2004 when he came from 7-2 down to beat Ronnie O'Sullivan 10-9. Hunter's best World Championship performance was reaching the semi-finals in 2003, where he led Ken Doherty 15-9 before the Irishman stormed back to win 17-16. Hunter would have been 28 on Saturday. He leaves a wife, Lindsey, and a daughter, Evie Rose, who was born on Boxing Day of last year. Very sad RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJ 0 Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Very very sad news. I thought he was over the worst of it, as most people on here are saying. Top guy, top snooker player. RIP Paul Hunter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyluke 1 Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Thinking about it now, the fact we haven't heard any updates for a while (ie of his recovery) kinda makes sense. Only six years older than me. So, so unlucky to die at all, but particularly of stomach cancer, at that age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toonraider 0 Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Shocking news though not a surprise really, the chance of recovering from stomach cancer is very slim. I've probably said this before, but why do so many decent people die young and tragically whilst the evil scum survive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
