Going back to Tactic's thread when it came down to safety play I don't know who you or anyone would say was your favourite player .
I love the flair players so that rules out a lot of players and whittles the field to a narrow list , you could include O'Sullivan and now Trump has found his safety game etc but do you know who was my favourite safety payer ?
Mark Williams !
What a player at safety he was , 'Aggressive Safety' , he could lay traps , score a break but not high enough to win the Frame etc so he would play a safety shot that made no sense but the more you followed 'what is he doing' the more it became apparent he was setting traps and saying , go ahead then , I will leave the cue ball here , leave you a slight shot and if you pot it , fair enough but if you miss , I'm clearing up so go ahead Boyo , shoot your shot .
Mark Williams , my favourite 'Aggressive Safety ' player and still to this day I do not know why there is no You Tube Video made of his shots
Here's Mark Williams - Best shots from the 2000 World Championship final :
