sport">Not only because of his brilliant playing, Ronnie O’Sullivan has been talking about for a quarter of a century, but also because of his bizarre life. Growing up in the sex industry-famous London neighborhood of Soho, he saw his father and mother end up in jail, lost himself to alcohol and drugs, suffered from depression, but managed to recover to become world champion for the sixth time. When you see what the 44-year-old Brit has been through, it is a wonder that he is the ‘GOAT’ in his sport, aka the ‘Greatest Of All Time’.
