Do you think Quinten Hann will ever be back on the Snooker circuit?

    This just got me thinking due to the John Higgins story and that he could be banned for a long period of time. I know Quinten was not one of the best players but he was in the top 16 and was fairly ok, took on some attacking potts and made for good tv.
    He got banned for 8 years in 2006, so my question is do you reckon he will try and come back in 4 years time? he is still fairly young.

    he can try but nobody in the snooker world will want him back. Hann would have to have seriously sorted out his attitude to even think about a return.

    Wasnt the idea of that to prevent his opponents making sizeable breaks? It lead to messy frames imo.

    yes, i believe anthony hamilton gave out quite a bit about him after doing it. but what i was referring to, and what i enjoyed, was when he would pot a red straight from the break.

    Depends on the type of table, If ur playing on one with buckets then it's a viable approach.

    I think Hann's plan was to throw the match though in fairness. Wouldn't exactly be surprising given his history.

    I highly doubt Quinten Hann will ever make a return to the professional circuit. I believe he was very active on the pool circuit for a number of years after his ban. Im not sure if he still is now to be honest

    So went and changed his name. Quinten Hunter aka Quinten Hann


    Wise move, but judging by the link above he is in hot water for providing finanacial services.
