Paul hunter's untimely death will undoubtedly cause great losses to snooker. SirRodneyWalker, President of the World Federation of Taiwan Province, expressed deep sorrow in an interview with reporters. "All those who have seen and loved Paul will bear great sorrow for his sudden departure. On behalf of all these people, I would like to extend my deepest regards to the Paul family. " "Paul has all the excellent qualities. He is brilliant, handsome and famous. He won Lindsay's love with his personality charm. But now he and his family have to undergo tremendous changes both in life and psychology. "
"His death is a heavy blow to the world's top snooker player, but his departure will cause greater losses to his family and his loved ones. Here, I want to say that we feel the same with his family and relatives. " "Hunter's death is a blow to his family and the whole snooker session. He has millions of fans, and I believe everyone who has met him will like him and regret his departure. In his short life, Hunter showed us his greatness and genius. On June 65438+1October 65438+September 2006, at 2 pm British time, thousands of people spontaneously gathered in front of the parish church in the suburbs of Leeds to pay their last respects to the famous snooker player paul hunter, who was only 27 years old. 10 days ago, Hunter was killed by neuroendocrine cancer, leaving his wife and daughter less than ten months old.
The coffin containing Hunter's body is parked in Notre Dame de Paris. In the past two days, an endless stream of people have come to remember Hunter every day. People put flowers on coffins, light candles in churches and write words in memory of Hunter in guest books. Some fans came specially from Aberdeen in northern Scotland and northern Wales to bid farewell to Hunter. People will also bring clubs and other snooker equipment. I hope there are snoopers waiting for Hunter in heaven.
Hunter's widow Lindsay wrote in the guest book: "For Paul, you will always be my husband, Eve's father, your rock, and you will always be with us. Our hearts will always be with you and love you forever. " 10 10 17, the coffin was moved into the church under the escort of Hunter's relatives. They followed the coffin hand in hand and walked into Notre Dame. Later, the priest poured holy water on it and took the lead in reading a prayer. When she presented flowers, Lindsay almost collapsed in the arms of her sister Lena. Behind Hunter's coffin, there is a donation box. During his cancer years, he initiated and organized a charity to raise money for cancer patients.
The funeral was originally scheduled to start at two o'clock in the afternoon, but early in the morning, fans came outside the church to queue up. Due to the limited space, fans who can't enter the stadium can watch and listen to the funeral live broadcast through the specially set big screen and speakers outside the church. The big names in the snooker world came to attend the funeral one after another, and Hunter's coffin finally left under the escort of six players.
As Hunter's best friend before him, Wales Stevens, one of the six coffin protectors, knew the weight of the coffin. In the days after Hunter's death, Stevens' grief was almost unbearable. He met Hunter at the age of 1 1, and they fought everywhere together, almost inseparable, until death did them part. When Hunter died, Stevens was one of the few people standing in front of the hospital bed. Their agent Parker recalled, "Paul was speechless at the time, but he knew Matthew was by his side, and this moment touched everyone present." For a few players except Stevens, Hunt had only a casual acquaintance with them, but even so, his death was enough to hurt them. Higgins said, "Although snooker players are not your real friends, you are all acquaintances who play together. It's heartbreaking when an acquaintance leaves you. After you see what happened to Paul, you will realize that we are lucky to play snooker. "
Paul hunter was diagnosed with a rare neuroendocrine cancer in 2005. After fighting cancer for 18 months, he finally lost the battle.
He died at 8: 20 pm on October 9th, 65438/KLOC-0. In the past two days, the coffin containing his body was placed in Leeds parish church, where thousands of fans gathered to pay tribute to this great player. People signed messages in the photo album, starting with his widow Lindsay. A fan wrote, "Paul, I used to play ball with you." Thank you for letting me use your club. I hope you can continue to enjoy snooker in heaven. " Yesterday outside the church, many fans put on T-shirts with Hunter's head on them. "No matter how hard the days were, Hunter gave us the courage to fight to the end." The news on the website of Leeds Today, a local newspaper in Leeds, reached ten pages in just one day. Only when death took him away did people realize how proud they were to have such a hero. "Hunter's Day" was set up to commemorate Beckham paul hunter at the World Championships.
Once, you seemed to have everything. Prince-like appearance, unruly but full of good heart, a wand in his hand won three masters championships. Many people don't buy Haendly's poker face. Many people complain about the stubborn rebellion of the Rockets, but there is not a fan who doesn't like paul hunter. On April 25th, local time, "Hunter Day" was formally established in CueZone. CueZone is located in the winter garden near Crucible, where fans plan to hold a commemorative event from 10: 30 am to 7: 00 pm.
A year after his death, the World Snooker Institute set up the paul hunter Monument, which can be seen by many players who come here to practice. Today, the World Snooker Championship will one day belong to paul hunter. In memory of Hunter, fans chose April 25th as "Hunter Day", when the paul hunter Foundation will hold a game and invite Hunter's family to watch the game as guests.
The representative of the paul hunter Foundation said, "We hope that Paul will be officially commemorated at the World Championships every year. This is a great way to have a Paul Hunt one day. We will hold many competitions, including the competition between two professional players. Paul's family will be present as guests, including her daughter Eva Rose. We are very excited that two legendary superstars can be with us. They are great players. For those who watched their game for the first time, this is a dream moment. "
Hunter, who just debuted, is regarded as an alternative in snooker. He had a bad record of streaking and fighting, but with the growth of age, Hunter became more and more mature. He is a player lacking in snooker, and snooker will regret losing him. It's been five years since the genius boy in Taiwan Province left. I sincerely wish paul hunter's wife and daughter a happy life, and I also wish paul hunter all the best in heaven.
On the first Hunter's Day, the Organizing Committee of the World Championships and the paul hunter Foundation jointly held a competition. "We recreate the final of the 1985 World Championship for all snooker fans, with Steve Davis OBE playing dennis taylor." Chris Lowe Foer, head of the paul hunter Foundation, said: "We are very excited that two legends can join us in remembering Hunter in this way. For those who witnessed these two legendary events for the first time, this will be a fantastic opportunity. " Hunter's wife Lindsay and 5-year-old daughter Eve Ruth were also invited as guests to watch the game. In the 2004-2005 season, Hunter was diagnosed with cancer. Even so, Hunter insisted on participating in the World Championships in Crucible, and his professional attitude was one of the reasons why the Organizing Committee of the World Championships set up Hunter Day.
