It's a cheap bit of wood, and it's been the butt of other players' jokes for ages. Stephen Hendry

It's the worst feeling in the world - to lose in the first round at Sheffield and then have to go home - because it's such a long tournament, and it's hard to avoid it. It's on the TV all day every day, and if I lost, I didn't want to be anywhere near snooker. Stephen Hendry
