It’s unlikely there’ll ever be another snooker player quite like Ronnie O’Sullivan.

The Englishman, who turned 50 on Friday, is widely regarded as the sport’s greatest-ever player, having broken almost every record in the game since turning professional in 1992.

‘The Rocket’ has an all-time record total of 23 Triple Crown titles – seven world crowns, eight Masters wins and eight victories at the UK Championship.

He has also compiled more century breaks and more maximum 147s than anyone else.

On top of that, he has a record 41 ranking titles to his name, five more than Stephen Hendry’s previous mark of 36.

And while O’Sullivan made an early exit from this year’s UK Championship, BBC Sport looks at 10 – and it could have been a lot more – memorable moments that have cemented his status as snooker’s biggest star as he reaches a personal half-century.
