I have an eight-inch plate in my shoulder with eight screws.

I play a lot of chess, just to a bog-average level. But I find it stimulates your mind with all the combinations of different moves.

I was driving in Norway and found myself on pure ice. I lightly pressed the brakes but I still started skidding. The car spun round and round and collided head on with another car coming in the other direction. There was a five or ten-second period where I blacked out.

Snooker's got bigger over the last ten years, but obviously it's still on a really small scale.

I feel like if I play my game then I can beat anyone on my day, so there's no pressure.

I met my wife in Latvia 17 or 18 years ago, moved over to Norway in 2003 or 2004 and after a couple of years living there, I was able to represent Norway as a snooker player.
