🎱 **Snooker Legend Moves On** 🎱
Remember Stephen Lee? The former snooker star, once a World Championship semi-finalist and Masters runner-up, is leaving his cue behind for good. After serving a 12-year ban for match-fixing, Lee’s set on a new path and isn’t looking back.
Now living in Thailand, the 51-year-old has expressed no desire to return to the pro circuit, despite being eligible for a comeback. Sharing his thoughts last year, Lee mentioned, “12 years is too long. I’m not diving into a battle at Q-School.” Reflecting on his late wife’s hopes, he added, “She never wanted me back in professional snooker.” 🥺
But while the pro stage might be out, Lee still finds joy in casual competition. Last year, he claimed victory at the Embassy Snooker Open in California, bagging $10,000 in the process. Lee cherishes the memories that the game brings back, even if he’s not pursuing it professionally anymore.
We can’t help but wonder, what’s next for Lee if not snooker? 🏆✨
