Welcome to the pilot episode of the WPBSA Snooker Podcast as we revisit the 2001 Masters which saw the late Paul Hunter complete a sensational comeback to win the first of his three Wembley titles!
Host Michael McMullan is joined by Ireland's Fergal O'Brien - the player on the receiving end of Hunter's fightback in the final - as well as former world champion Shaun Murphy, who was making his debut at snooker's most prestigious invitational event that year.
As well as the unforgettable final itself - including the famous 'Plan B' - we take a look at other big talking points from the 2000/2001 season, which would end with Ronnie O'Sullivan claiming the first of his seven world titles so far, as he showed that he could turn his prodigious talent into regular silverware.
We also look at the Nations Cup, Shaun Murphy's debut run and a memorable match between O'Sullivan and Jimmy White and much more.
