The untimely death of Paul Hunt will undoubtedly cause great losses to snooker.

"All those who met and loved Paul will bear great sorrow for his sudden departure. On behalf of all such people, I would like to extend my deepest regards to the Paul family. " "Paul has all the excellent qualities. He is full of talent, handsome and handsome, and he has both fame and fortune. He has won the love of Lindsay with his personality charm. But now he and his family have to bear great changes in both life and psychology. "
"His death has dealt a heavy blow to the world's top snooker, but his departure will cause greater losses to his family and his relatives. 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 will regret his departure. In his short life, Hunter showed us greatness and genius. At 2pm on October 19th, 26, British time, thousands of people spontaneously gathered in front of the parish church on the outskirts of Leeds to pay their last respects to the famous snooker player paul hunter, who was only 27 years old. Ten 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 Cathedral. In the past two days, people have been coming to remember Hunter every day. People put flowers on coffins, lit candles in churches, and wrote words in memory of Hunter in guest books. Some fans specially came from Aberdeen in northern Scotland and North Wales to bid farewell to Hunter's last trip. People also bring clubs and other snooker equipment. I hope there are snookers waiting for Hunter in heaven.
Hunter's widow Lindsay wrote in the guest book: "To Paul, you will always be my husband, Eve's father, your rock, and you will always be with us. Our heart will always be with you and love you forever. " On October 17th, the coffin was moved into the church under the escort of Hunter's relatives. They followed the coffin hand in hand and went into Notre Dame. Later, the priest poured holy water on it and took the lead in reading a prayer. When she came forward to offer flowers, Lindsay almost collapsed in the arms of her sister Lena. Behind Hunt's coffin, there is a donation box. During his cancer, he initiated and organized a charity to raise money for cancer patients.
The funeral was scheduled to start at 2 pm, but early in the morning, fans came outside the church and lined up to enter. Due to the limited space, those 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, and Hunter's coffin finally left under the escort of six players.
As Hunter's best friend in front of him, Stevens, a Welshman, one of the six pallbearers, knew the weight of the coffin. In these days after Hunter's death, Stevens' grief was almost unbearable. He knew Hunter when he was 11 years old, and they fought everywhere together, almost inseparable, until death did them part. On Hunter's deathbed, Stevens was one of the few people who stood in front of the hospital bed. Parker, their agent, recalled, "Paul couldn't speak at that time, but he knew Matthew was by his side, and this moment moved everyone present." For a few players except Stevens, Hunt is only a casual acquaintance with them, but even so, his death is enough to hurt them. Higgins said, "Although snooker players are not your real friends, you are all acquaintances in the competition together. When an acquaintance leaves you, it's heartbreaking. After you see what happened to Paul, you will realize that we are lucky to be able to play snooker. "
paul hunter was diagnosed with a rare neuroendocrine cancer in 25. After struggling with cancer for 18 months, he finally lost the battle.
He died at 8: 2pm on October 9th. In the past two days, the coffin containing his body has been placed in Leeds parish church, where thousands of fans flocked to pay tribute to this great player. People have signed messages in the album starting with his widow Lindsay. One fan wrote, "Paul, I once played with you. Thank you for letting me use your club. I hope you can continue to enjoy snooker in heaven. " Outside the church yesterday, many fans put on T-shirts with Hunter's head printed on them. "No matter how hard the days are, Hunter gave us the courage to fight to the end." The message on the website of Leeds Today, a local newspaper in Leeds, has 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. The World Championships set up Hunter Day to remember Beckham paul hunter
Once upon a time, you seemed to have everything. Prince-like appearance, unruly but full of kind heart, a wand in hand won three masters championships. Many people don't buy Haendly's poker face, and many people complain about the stubborn rebellion of the "Rocket", but no fan doesn't like Paul Hunt. On April 25th, local time, "Hunter Day" was officially established in CueZone. CueZone is located in the Winter Garden near Crucible, and fans plan to hold commemorative activities here from 1: 3 am to 7: pm.
One year after his death, the Paul Hunt Monument was set up in the World Snooker Academy, which can be seen by many players who come here to practice. Today, the World Snooker Championships will also have a day belonging to Paul Hunt. To commemorate Hunter, fans chose April 25th as "Hunter Day", when the Paul Hunt Foundation will hold a competition and invite Hunter's family to watch the game as guests.
The representative of "Paul Hunt Foundation" said: "We hope that Paul can be officially commemorated in the World Championships every year. It is a great way to have a Paul Hunt 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 Ross. We are very excited that two legendary superstars can be with us. They are great players. For those who saw them play for the first time, this is a dream moment. "
Hunter, who has just made his debut, is regarded as an alternative in the snooker arena. He has had bad records such as streaking and fighting, but as he grows older, Hunter becomes more and more mature, and he is a player lacking in the snooker world. Snooker will regret losing him. In the past, the talented boy in Taiwan has been gone for five years. I sincerely wish Paul Hunt's wife and daughter a happy life, and I also wish Paul Hunt all the best in heaven.
On the first Hunter Day, the Organizing Committee of the World Championships and the paul hunter Foundation jointly organized a competition. "We are recreating the final of the 1985 World Championships 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 be with us to remember Hunter in this way. For those who witnessed the two legendary competitions 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 24-25 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.
