About me:
Massive Myspace Layouts collection from Pyzam.com
Ronald Antonio "Ronnie" O'Sullivan is an English professional snooker player, nicknamed "The Rocket" due to his rapid playing style, with other monikers including "The Essex Exocet" and "The Magician". He grew up and still lives in Chigwell, Essex, although he has several other houses in different places across England, one of which is situated in Sedgley, West Midlands.
O'Sullivan is considered by many to be one of the most naturally-talented players in the history of the sport and is one of the most popular players on the circuit. He has won the World Snooker title on two occasions (2001 and 2004). O'Sullivan has been involved in a number of controversial incidents in his career.
O'Sullivan plays a very fast, fluent and attacking game. He is a prolific breakbuilder and solid tactical player, although he has stated his disdain for long, drawn-out games, saying that it harms the game of snooker. He is a good front-runner, although tends to become demoralised when behind and not playing well, and is liable to lose multiple consecutive frames. When behind and needing snookers, he tends to concede more often than other players, although after Ray Reardon's coaching he does seem to carry on with the frame a lot more than previously.
O'Sullivan is unique amongst the current ranks of top snooker professionals in that he can play at professional standard both right- and left-handed – frequently alternating between the two within the same frame. Whilst he lacks power in his left arm, the ambidextrous angle to his game has allowed him to take on shots with his left hand that would otherwise require awkward cueing with rest or spider. O'Sullivan sometimes plays with a variety of bridge hands.
He is considered by many to be one of the most naturally-talented players in the history of the sport, with some labelling him a 'genius'; some have said that his highest level of play is above other players' highest levels of play; and a few have hailed him as the greatest player ever, although a temperamental streak sometimes lead to a lack of confidence or interest, and he has performed inconsistently throughout his controversial career, with observers noting the 'two Ronnies' aspect of his character.
O'Sullivan is one of the most popular players on the circuit – second only to Jimmy White – and is noted for being a 'showman'. He is perhaps the biggest draw in the game today, and has helped improve the image of snooker to the general public. O'Sullivan himself has stated his desire for entertaining the watching public, and that slow, gritty games put viewers off.
O'Sullivan is often compared to Alex Higgins and Jimmy White because of his natural talent popularity.
