Paul Hunter dies of cancer
(worldsnooker.com)
Updated: 2006-10-10 08:35 Backstage at snooker events, Hunter’s charisma, cheerful persona and
laid-back approach to life made him universally popular among players,
officials, media and fans. He will be sadly missed by all.
His unselfish nature and appreciation of his support is underlined by an
incident at the 2005 China Open in Beijing.
Following his first-round match, Hunter was requested for a press conference.
When he did not appear within 20 minutes, his whereabouts was sought.
Hunter was soon discovered in the arena, patiently signing autographs and
having photos taken with Chinese fans, and he remained there until every request
was met. This was just a few days after he had been diagnosed with the disease
which was to bring his end.
