That is awful news.

I remember last season Paul kept playing on the circuit despite being in obvious pain and unable to win a match and I admired him a lot for that

Sad news indeed - Sophie was at school with him.  Bizarrely, we were looking at photos of him on Sunday.

So sad, I heard this on the radio just now.  I feel for his wife and family.   So young at only 27 .  Sometimes the World just isn't fair

Very sad... top bloke, met him a few times as i used to work in a snooker club and he was good friends with the pro who practiced there.

I really hope he is remembered well, a big loss to the world!

That is terrible news, I had no idea he was so ill.

He was one of the handful of truly gifted players that I have seen play.

Terrible news. I came here to post this - I'm always a little slow. Really feel for his family now, they must be going through hell all this time. It was on the cards, but its still doesnt change the loss they must be going through. he leaves behind a family so young.

Yeah its really sad. He was such a character and will be sadly missed :( A Leeds lad with a young family gives us all a reality check.

I thought about him last week funny enough, how we aint heard anything of him recently, always a bad sign.

Sick news.  I was on another forum and I seen the RIP Paul Hunter message, you know I never gave it any thought that it was the same fellow. 

I also thought he was winning his battle with Cancer and was shocked at the news, terrible loss of a young life. 

RIP Paul.

the snooker player Paul Hunter sadly lost his fight against cancer last night a few days short of his 28th birthday.

As a cue sports player my self im devestated by the sad news of the death of such a fine snooker player and genuinly nice guy at such a tender age.

i also think i can recall paul playing celebrity poker prior to his illness getting to unbearable.

Paul leaves behind a wife and a 9 month old daughter, my thoughts are with them.

i would like fellow blondes to use this thread as a thread of condolenses for blondites to pay tribute to tragic death of a fantastic sportsman.

27 is no age.

My brother in law's mother also died of cancer at the weekend.  I'm heartbroken for him.

Horrible disease.

I have just been told that snooker player Paul Hunter yesterday succumbed to Cancer at the all to young age of 27.

Sad news indeed.

27 years old, life can be cruel.

Felt really shocked by this, he was a quality player.

When i was younger and a cuesports fanatic he was real hero of me and my friends and was affectionately known as the huntsman.

Best wishes to his young family.
