Big Train - Staring final

One of the classic finals. Can anyone find any clips of the 2006 final when the controversial Xavier Xantia forfeited his final shot at the world title when he launched a ferocious headbutt at Carlo Cunti after sledging him with obscene comments about his pet guinea pig under his breath

Thats harsh on Jin-Min. He was dealt a real blow during his playing career regarding al the controversy over his glass eye after the car crash during the Dubai Cup.

He should have been allowed to continue by the WSF and not have been forced to play in para-staring competitions for players with eye defects. His remaining fully intact eye was clearly too good for that.

I can see why he was so embittered but I dont think that comes through in his refereeing.

does anyone know the whereabouts of Paul Hatcher the artist of these "Stareouts"??? Helen

I didn't get tickets for this - watched it in pub near the stadium. It worked out well though - I met my wife there! Watching this on Youtube brings back great memories.

Is staring included in the olympics in 2K12 ?.. I cant find any reference to it anywhere.
and,if so, does the U.K have anyone with a chance of success. .

Did you notice how according to his statistics he's an 8 times world champion, not 6 as the commentator said.

His World Championship wins in 1991 and 1992 were never fully ratified by the WSF due to the decision to allow Serbian Luke 'Bog Eye' Bogojevic enter the championships despite the war in Yugoslavia and the boycott of Serbian sports people.

Barry Davies was technically correct, it is six official titles only.

Was that on Big Train or did you come up with that yourself? If the latter then it is the best comment I have ever read on youtube.

I thought of it myself! I am ashamed and yet proud at the same time.

after the stare cam, i had this demonic negative of his close up face in my vision for a few minutes, icky
