Favourite player of all-time?

Personally my favourite was Hendry. He was the first player I remember seeing on TV, and he ruled the 1990s. I know he rarely smiled, but...

I would have to say The Hurricane Alex Higgins. He won the World Professional Snooker Championship at his first attempt in 1972, cake walk. I consider Higgins one true genius that snooker has produced. He's a Snooker legend for those upcoming players to remember.
