Tom Ford Admits Dislike for Watching Snooker, Prefers Trip to the Pub
Snooker star Tom Ford made headlines recently when he admitted that he can’t stand watching the sport and would much rather be at the pub than sitting through a match. Despite reaching his highest ever ranking and enjoying a successful start to the year, Ford confessed his dislike for watching snooker in an interview on Stephen Hendry’s Cue Tips YouTube channel.
After his loss to Judd Trump in the last 16 of the World Snooker Championship, Ford expressed his aversion to watching the game, stating, “I hate watching the game. If I get beat, you’ll find me in the pub.” He even mentioned that not even the presence of friends on the baize could keep him interested for long.
Ford’s candid comments have sparked reactions from fans and fellow players alike. Some may find his honesty refreshing, while others may be surprised by his lack of interest in watching the sport he excels in. Despite his personal feelings towards watching snooker, Ford’s performance on the table speaks for itself, as he continues to climb the rankings and compete at a high level.
As the World Snooker Championship continues, Ford’s absence from the spectator’s seat will not go unnoticed. However, his focus remains on his own game and achieving success on the baize, rather than watching others compete. Whether Ford’s perspective on watching snooker will change in the future remains to be seen, but for now, he will be sticking to his preference for a trip to the pub over a match on TV.
