welcome to the paul hunter foundation
Paul Hunter
Encouraged by family and friends, Paul spent many hours at the practice table, and by the age of 12, had become an outstanding junior talent. The Leeds youngster made his debut amongst the professional ranks in July 1995, at the age of 16.
Paul turned professional in 1995 and won his first ranking title in 1998, when he claimed the Regal Welsh
He repeated that feat in 2002 before winning the British Open in the same year
In 2003 Paul's best performance at the World Championship came when he reached the semi-finals. He lost 17-16 to Ken Doherty in one of the great Crucible matches.
That kind of determination helped him to three Masters titles in fours years and saw him move up to fourth in the world rankings ..................more
