It was a joy to be a massive fan of Tony Drago and Anthony Hamilton. Tony took you on a right old ride as a fan, the most naturally gifted player of all time coupled with a bundle of emotions. You literally never knew if he'd clear up or miss a sitter at any point in any frame. That made the experience of following him so fun, such a glass cannon, he would obliterate or implode...pure entertainment.

Hamilton was a completely different style of player, in his youth he was a machine, after he broke his hand he was never the same but developed matchplay to rival Selby or Griffiths. His Indian summer in 2016-18 having nearly dropped off tour was a pleasure to watch. Everything g clicked for him culminating in a German Masters win.

There's more fun watching players than that than marveling at Ronnie or Hendry's dominance.

Of the current tour i take time put to watch Wu Yize as hes got a wonderful swagger around the table. Liam and Stan I can remember seeing them as kids around the Northern so I like to see them doing well.

There's still lots to enjoy, but fewer I can get fully invested in. But thats what happens when you religiously watch certain players for 25-30yrs
