87 Graeme Dott – Snooker World Champion

“I was showing up to tournaments. Beat, home, depressed. Go to the next tournament. Beat, home… it was just horrible.” In 2006 Graeme Dott won the World Snooker Championship for the first time. Following that success Graeme suffered with depression and he opens up about it on this week’s Best in the World with Richard Parr. Graeme also talks about his two other final appearances at the crucible in 2004 and 2010. Graeme discusses the mental exhaustion involved in the sport, how he broke his wrist playing football in China and his thoughts on World Snooker today. The Rangers fan also shares his experience of parading the World title at Ibrox. Please support our podcast at patreon.com/bestintheworld
