A Tribute to Chris Small

Now with captions so even the deaf can enjoy the brilliance of Chris Small and my powerful musical tribute to him.

A few things.

1) I regret the Paul Hunter joke. It was more a continuation of the preceding Matthew Stevens joke, and I have nothing against Paul Hunter at all and was more gutted than you'd believe when he didn't reach the World Championship final in 2003 (no offence, Doherty), and even more so when he died. Just ignore that, or try to see the humour of it depending on how your mind works.
2) THIS ENTIRE VIDEO IS A PISS-TAKE. The whole concept was that Chris Small, while talented, was far from a huge star and only had the one flash-in-the-pan performance at the 2002 Grand Prix to show for all his efforts (and I don't just mean one trophy...I mean that was the only time he ever played consistently well in any tournament). Therefore, he's not the most obvious candidate for a tribute. That's why I went so over the top with the wipes and repeatedly singing the words "Chris Small" tunelessly to 'Drag Racer'. IT'S A MOCK.

Anyway, enjoy the show ladies and gents.

You're a tool, why did you make that comment about Paul Hunter! You should be ashamed!

[LoafOfPint]

@Zeziamdg I pointed out that a dead man is dead. It may be in bad taste, but I hardly think it constitutes a 'comment'. It's a fact of life. The fact I made the joke at all is testament to the impact he had on the game and the impact that his loss has made. But hey, don't let that get in the way of a pre-adolescent whinge-fest.

I might be a tool, but at least I'm used for something. Your parents have probably forgotten that you even exist.

Lol were you under the influence of drugs when you made this?

[LoafOfPint]

Strangely not. I think if I had, I'd probably have just been saying 'Chrall' and choking to death on my own laughter.

I feel sorry for this guy. He was very talented but he deserves so much respect for winning the LG Cup whilst suffering from that horrible spinal injury.

[LoafOfPint]

I agree completely. To even play in his physical condition, let alone win a major tournament and beat O'Sullivan and other much more fancied players along the way - albeit over a short format - proves that he could play very well indeed. He made a good attempt at defending it, as well.

Hello mate. Just a comment about the Paul Hunter 'joke'. If it had been in the context of other amusing, well produced and thought out material it would have worked on certain levels. However, it smacks of one 'joke' trying to save a rapidly sinking ship. With the greatest respect, I find only a boring and repetative, unamusing, badly made video. Regards.

lol, the Paul Hunter bit was funny. It's a fucking joke, for christ's sake! Some people get wound up about nothing.

[denzilite]

bizzare at best. Chris Small was a real talent who had an amazing ability to cheekily feather his balls whilst sinking the brown. Some of his play left his opponents screwing back and impaling their anuses on their own cue tips. Great moments from a by-gone era.
