Better call Selby

[lcfc_forever]

Think it would be a good idea to get Mark Selby to talk to the team about his success and how he's come back from his setbacks, ahead of the run-in. 

 

He had a similar experience to the team the previous year when he got so close in the semi-final and he's shown great resilience, toughness and mental strength to win the World Championship this year. Rarely have I seen a sportsman with such determination and the way he kept his composure was so impressive. 

 

Rodgers seems to look to other sports for new ideas and getting one of our own with the team could be inspirational.

Get Chris Hendry on the coaching set up

When I saw this I thought it was another spin off from breaking bad.

He was breaking good from what I saw

Our players spend too much time thinking about lightening their balls as it is thank you. Well done to Selby though.

A Cue and A session with Selby might be a bit of a long shot.  Could turn out to be a load of balls.  He's probably knackered after winning the world title so give the man a break.

It could be the big break that the squad needs

Can we have another statue?

Selby ✅ 

The Riders ✅ 

Fa Cup  ❓

This could put him in a tough spot, let him have a rest.

He was bricking it for that final clearance. He did well to keep it together.

As lovely an idea as it is, I don't see how much benefit it can give right at this moment. He's knackered and by the time he's ready it'll be after a few games.

 

Special guest at FA Cup final though - absolutely.

[David Hankey]

With the Jester's success added to that of the Tigers & the Foxes Leicester can truly call themselves the sporting capital of the country.

 

Well done Mark!!

What a season that would be for the county 

LCCC to win the T20

Wonder if he could change his name to Jonjo Selby and turn up at the ground on Friday with a skinhead and trick Steve Bruce in to slotting him straight in. Quickfire hattrick of OG's and then a straight red for pulling Maddison's shorts down.

 

Job done

When the cameras show Mark Selby lifting trophies, few remember the boy behind the champion.

At just 8 years old, his mother walked out of his life.

At 16, cancer took his father too.

He was left alone in Leicester with nothing but a cue and a promise — a promise to his dad that he would make something of himself.

Snooker became his escape.

Frame after frame, late into the night, he poured every ounce of pain, every memory, into the game.

He wasn’t chasing fame.

He was chasing a way out of loneliness.

Years later, when he held the World Championship trophy aloft, it wasn’t just a victory.

It was an answer to the boy who had lost everything.

It was a whisper to his father: “I kept my promise.”

And yet, Mark never shows arrogance.

He plays with humility, fights with quiet grit, and carries his scars with dignity.

What do you think?

Does true greatness come from talent — or from surviving heartbreak?

I like the sentiment, but i can't really see he'd have much positive influence on the amount of arrogant tw@ts in our squad.

 

They'll just think he's beneath them.
