RONNIE O'SULLIVAN insists he could never quit snooker while his father remains in prison.
The three-times world champion's father, also called Ronnie, has been in jail for the last 16 years after being convicted of murder.

And O'Sullivan, 32, admits the pleasure his performances give his father prevent him from retiring, despite repeated threats to do so.

"The important thing for me now is to just keep going so that he has something to look forward to," said O'Sullivan.

"He has said to me, 'every time you play it's like a visit to me' – so how can I give up when that's all he has got to look forward to sometimes?"
