Ronnie O'Sullivan

Addison Lee is delighted to sponsor Ronnie O’Sullivan for the 2008/09 snooker season.
Ronnie is widely regarded as the most naturally gifted player to ever pick up a cue and has collected the ultimate prize, The World Championship, on three occasions. Amongst many of his record breaking achievements, in 1997, Ronnie compiled a maximum break of 147 in only 5 minutes and 10 seconds.
Ronnie has enjoyed a phenomenal start to the season, lifting the cup at the season’s opener, The Northern Ireland Trophy, beating Dave Harold 9-3 in the final. That success was almost emulated at the Shanghai Masters, where Ronnie was edged out 10-8 in the final by surprise package, Ricky Walden.
Everyone at Addison Lee would like to wish Ronnie every success for the remainder of the season and we hope our sponsorship will continue to inspire him to victory!
