    McManus is the No.1 Snooker pundit for me, his knowledge and thoughts on the game and on every player is spot on. The BBC would love to have in their ranks.

    World Snooker are lucky to have both Alan and Rob
    they are both consummate professionals at what ever they do
    one with amazing insight into the game and the other with boundless energy and excitement for every ball potted
    over the season
    Every Snooker fan should be glad they are both around on different platforms making the coverage better in there own ways 😄😄😄

    The only other person I can think of who started their commentary career and very quickly became 'world number one' is Clive Everton (Ted Lowe doesn't count for me, because he was also the only commentator...) - and Clive of course became Lowe's spiritual successor as the 'Voice of Snooker'. Joe Davis was for a long time considered the greatest player ever to live, and he famously wrote the book, 'How To Play Snooker'. Alan McManus is rewriting the equivalent, metaphorical book on snooker commentary - and when it comes to commentary, I'm sure he will have a similar legacy of his own.

      Beating Stephen Hendry to win the Masters in 1994, when Hendry was at his most dominant peak and had won the previous 5, that's not an underachiever.

    • @danielkarmy4893
      @danielkarmy4893 Год назад +1

      There is no better commentator in the sport today - and as for the first part, you are actually implying that he underachieved in relation to his ability, so you believe him to be a much better player than his achievements would suggest. But you knew that, of course. 😉
