So that you can't see the different Mark. Selby

World Champion Mark. Selby's documentary is a true inspirational film. Desmond. Kane commented.

This picture of him holding snooker's holiest World Championship trophy doesn't tell you the true story — he wasn't born with a golden key. Not only that, as a world champion, he was once physically and mentally traumatized, and the injury index was far more violent than a series of hundreds. He would have been easily engulfed by the weight of society, but Selby did not change his original intentions.

Like the 1985 scene with an enviable 18.5 million viewers, Steve. Davis and Dennis. Taylor's World Championship Final, Mark. Selby – The Life of a World Champion is a fascinating documentary that is very valuable to watch. Unfortunately, Friday at 9 p.m. is clearly a non-prime time slot, as this is the time when most people would prefer to tv to mainstream channels to watch the "Celebrity" show rather than Sky Sports Five.

It's easy to see that Selby's documentaries are more meaningful, more enlightening and thought-provoking than those on the mainstream channels over the weekend.

It is a pity that such an excellent program has not received more attention from Sky Sports in terms of broadcast time. Many snooker enthusiasts know that Selby is a leader in this field, but the real him is far richer and fuller than people know about him on TV.

Those who criticize Selby for not being ornamental are because they don't see a more multifaceted Selby who is hurting a figure with a great desire to practice and succeed in his chosen field, which should have been the blueprint for any aspiring young man in any sport.

In the documentary, Selby reveals that his parents separated when he was eight years old and that his mother abandoned him and his brother.

"You can't imagine how sad I was when I knew my mom was leaving me, and I couldn't concentrate anymore to play." Selby confessed.

Nicknamed "Lester Clown", but his real life wasn't happy. Selby, so to speak, came from the slums of Leicester.

"I often come back to see because it makes me more down-to-earth." Selby toured the dilapidated old house in the old district, where he grew up, a part of his life.

After his mother ran away from home, he took on the responsibility of helping his father, David, cook, because his father was not good at cooking. At 8 or 9 o'clock he went to the local club with his father. He played at that club for a year or two, and slowly he started to beat some of the members there. However, life is life, and some members complained (because Selby always won), so he couldn't play at that club anymore.

Malcolm. Thorne, Leicester's famous snooker commentator Willie. Thorne's late brother, he discovered Selby's potential. It was because of his support and financial assistance that Selby was able to compete in the youth competitions. But Willie. Thorne admitted: "I never thought he would become a professional. He's a great amateur player, but not professional enough. ”

In the fall of 1999, Mark's father died of cancer. His father was diagnosed with cancer in September and died in October. At the age of 16, he lost both parents, and in his later years of upbringing, a friend (Alan Perkins) provided him with a valuable home.

"If you start with nothing, then life will make you a little more strong. Because you don't get something effortlessly in a difficult situation, and then you have to get a little better. In a sense, it's good to be alone against the whole world. "World Snooker Leader Barry. Hearne said.

Selby is the quintessential grassroots hero. I've talked to him a few times over the last few years, and looking at him, you'll never see that he's going through these ordeals. He was always smiling and polite. It follows that you should never judge the contents of a book by its cover.

Those old-fashioned conservatives clamored for snooker's lack of personality and characteristics, like Ronnie. O'Sullivan's fast pace should be popular. That's the garbage point of view thrown out by ignorant people who can only concentrate for a very short time.

If only Say Mark. Selby, the 31-year-old boy who has managed against all odds, is an understatement. He went from 10-5 behind O'Sullivan to win his first world title last May, a victory that was too simple compared to the hardships he handled with wisdom and maturity in life.

It is worth noting, however, that apart from overcoming one difficulty after another to reach the pinnacle of his career, he beat it all with his focus and presented himself at his best.

Selby's documentary is not only heartwarming, but should be shown to people who are frustrated in life.

'I'm not as talented as a lot of players, but in a sense I like it because I have to spend time practicing at the table and working hard. Selby said.

Selby is not a forgetful person. Although he was not highly educated because he left school early for snooker, this did not make him inferior.

Selby is not the face of the clichés of saying that Snooker is a wasted youth. If life is snooker, then he is a master of snooker who keeps scoring goals.

In his spare time, he has devoted himself to philanthropy, in Leicester, the nursing home where his father lived during his fight against cancer.

If you establish a Selby-style attitude to life and a spirit of competition, and you are still persistent about your dreams, you will definitely make your dreams come true. Good people have good rewards.

Selby is not only a good snooker player, he is also a person with good qualities.

Admirable grassroots heroes!
