At the start of the 2013 Snooker World Championship I took a photo from the BBC gantry of Ronnie O'Sullivan, the defending champion, walking out to deserved acclaim at the start of the tournament.
Taken with a fish-eye lens it captured the whole of the arena at the Crucible, Ronnie walking out to shake the hand of announcer Rob Walker, and the two-table set up.
It soon made it on to Ronnie's own website (www.ronnieosullivan.tv) and is available to buy at: http://www.peverilphoto.com/section665568_553244.html#photos_id=11235541
The author of http://www.prosnookerblog.com (one of the best snooker sites around) liked it so much that he asked for a copy. This he printed out and at the recent UK Championships in York asked Ronnie to sign it about 10 minutes after he did his 147 break.
Ronnie wrote: "To Matt, the best man for stats in snooker, top man, Ronnie O'Sullivan 147"
Always nice to see your work appreciated.
