Biggest Over Achievers in Sport

[Melton Fox]

I say it because most snooker players hang around the top 10 for 10 or 15 years, and only 1 or 2 ever win the WC which is the pinnacle.

JJ won the WC, achieved very little else in terms of tournaments around the world and spent very little time in the top rankings.

His highest ranking was only 5, relatively low for a world champion, and he only stayed there for a short period of time

JJ was 150-1 to win that tournament, which would class him as on over achiever

However, in his defence, he was doing a lot behind the scenes and I believe that he is still an active member of the WPSBA

The point i'm trying to make is that for a person to come back the following year and nearly do it again proves that he was no mug. Had he won the title two years running he would have gone down as one of the games top players

Yes he would have done. He wasn't a mug of course, he is a professional, you have to be one hell of a standard to be a pro snooker player. But nonetheless, I don't feel his ability matched the title. We could debate this all day, I think we should call a truse :icon_wink :icon_bigg
