I was in Beijing in 1996 and they had a billiard school then, there was a sense it was ready to explode. Then Ding came along and he really helped, and there are many others like him coming through. It's brilliant for the game to have two ranking tournaments and maybe there will be more. What would like to be remembered for once retired? As being very handsome and a world champion! Seriously though, as someone who loved the game and always gave his best. Who has influenced your career the most to date? My dad Do you have a routine or superstition before matches?

There are some very good players coming through. Ding is the only one to have made a real impact so far, some of the others still struggle to get through the qualifiers at Pontin's. But in four or five years there will be more like Ding. Hopefully not too soon though! What would like to be remembered for once retired? I don't expect to be a top 16 player but I would love to get to a ranking final. Andrew Higginson showed last season at the Welsh Open that it can be done. Who has has influenced your career the most to date? My dad, 100 per cent. Without him I wouldn't be playing. Do you have a routine or superstition before matches? When I'm playing at Pontin's I always tidy the chalet and make the bed before I go to my match. I'm not the sort to leave a room in a mess. And if I'm on a winning run I always try to book the same practice time each day. The single best moment of your career? Beating Michael Holt 9-0 at the UK Championship last season was a great result. But probably my best moment was winning four matches to qualify for the Players Championship in 2004. I needed to qualify for the event to stay on the Tour. The last match was against James Wattana so I was playing for my professional status and winning that was a brilliant moment.

As someone who was a bit of a laugh and an extrovert Who has influenced your career the most to date? When I first started watching snooker I most admired Alex Higgins and Jimmy White. Then Steve Davis came on to the scene and he was the first of the technical robots. Then I knew I had to get my technique right to improve my game Do you have a routine or superstition before matches? I tend to prepare in exactly the same way for matches and I always have a game plan. But I don't have any superstitions - to think for example that wearing a particular pair of socks is going to help you win is a form of mental weakness. The single best moment of your career? Winning the Grand Prix in 1997 when I beat John Higgins in the final. I played well and won in style in front of a big crowd and some great snooker people, dressed in their dinner suits. It was a wonderful night and it's great to have made my mark on the game - although I would like to win more tournaments. Your favourite sport other than snooker? - to watch and participate in...
