		Alain Robidoux was born in 1960 and became a professional snooker player in 1986.
		The stance may look aggressive but, like all the top players, Alain has complete control of his cue and never uses more strength than is necessary to pot the ball and get position.
		Alain is the luckiest guy I have ever played against: those balls just kept rollin' in.

		French Canadian Alain Robidoux took over the mantle of Cliff Thorburn as the best Canadian player and powered up the ranking list to reach the top 16 in just a few seasons.
		Robidoux's cue was damaged beyond repair the summer after his last four appearance at The Crucible and his game declined rapidly as result.
		Not only was his game good to watch, Robidoux could also play an elaborate version of snooker bowls on the table, and is also an excellent juggler.

		Alain reached the final of the 1996 German Open, then the semi-finals of the world championship that season.
		However, just a few months later, things had taken a definite turn for the worse when his cue was damaged beyond repair by the man who made it - after taking exception to a sponsors sticker.

		O'Sullivan is unique amongst the current ranks of top snooker professionals in that he can play with the cue in either his right or left hand - sometimes alternating between the two within the same frame.
		When he first did this in the World Championships against Alain Robidoux, the Canadian accused him of disrespect.
		He was also responsible for the fastest World Championship maximum (147) clearance whilst playing against Mick Price in the World Snooker Championship on 21 April, 1997; he completed the clearance in 5 minutes and 20 seconds - an average of one shot every 9 seconds.
