WIL I NEVER
Snooker star Gary Wilson hilariously misses red and pots white in Crucible match against Judd Trump
Wilson was locked at 5-5 with the Australian when he had a simple pot on the red in the middle
PUB PLAYERS around the country will be able to sympathise with Gary Wilson.
Not just the fact he once worked as a taxi driver, bar man or in a frozen food factory to pay bills after dropping off the professional snooker tour.

No, it was the shot he played in the 11th frame of his semi-final with Judd Trump that most people would have appreciated.
With the score locked at 5-5, Wilson had the chance to sink an easy red and keep on the pressure on the No.7 seed in the one-table set-up at the Crucible.
Yet instead he miscued the white...and the ball bounced into the middle pocket, missing the red completely.
It was a complete freak shot for a professional to perform.
So much so snooker fan Ismael Yau joked: “What was he thinking?”
Rich on Twitter joked: “Oy, that’s my trick shot!”
