O’Sullivan is widely regarded as the greatest snooker player of all time and is the current world number one - but has ripped into the current state of snooker and those in charge.

Snooker legend Ronnie O’Sullivan has hinted that players should go on strike as he bemoans the lack of prize money currently available in the sport. It comes days after he pulled out of the World Snooker Tour Classic due to injury.

Ronnie, often referred to as ‘The Rocket’ due to his quick shot decisions and rapid break building, is arguably the greatest player to grace the sport. He has won the World Snooker Championship seven times, a modern-era record he holds jointly with Stephen Hendry.

But now, the current world champion and world number one has launched a devastating attack on the state of snooker and those running it – claiming the sport is in “the worst place it has ever been”.

His scathing remarks come just under a month before he launches his bid to win a record eighth world title at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield. He moved level with Hendry last year, beating Judd Trump in the final.
