World champion Mark Selby joins us to talk glory, legacy and 'hurtful' Bingham criticism

Season 3 · Episode 7

Wednesday, May 5, 2021 • Duration 25:41

It's the last episode of series three of The Break and we were delighted to be joined by the newly crowned champion of the world, Mark Selby!

It's been a remarkable 17 days at The Crucible and Selby joins Andy Goldstein for an in-depth chat about his fourth world title, some of the most significant moments along the way, and how many more titles he might be targeting by the end of his career...

Selby also revealed he was hurt by Stuart Bingham's comments accusing him of "gamesmanship" after their semi-final and addressed the re-spot controversy from the final, saying he was unaware at the time that the cue ball was not in the correct position during the 20th frame as he escaped a snooker.

Finally, Selby shows off the trophy to Andy and reveals that a replica from his first world title wasn't quite as impressive...

Thanks for joining us for season three of The Break, which was produced and edited by Ola Fisayo. If you enjoyed our coverage of the World Championship, please rate and review us on your podcast platform of choice.

The biggest shock in Crucible history? And we talk to the man 'rewiring' Mark Selby

Season 2 · Episode 4

Wednesday, August 5, 2020 • Duration 32:34

Host Rachel Casey is joined by former world number three Neal Foulds, commentator Dave Hendon and performance coach Chris Henry. He is helping ‘rewire’ Mark Selby, a player who Hendon thinks “didn’t look like he was enjoying a single minute” of his first round win.

Henry also works with Shaun Murphy and says he sensed that the 2005 champion “was not right emotionally” for his defeat.

There’s also discussion about whether Mark Allen’s chat settled the nerves of Crucible debutant Jamie Clarke, before a Clarke victory that Neal Foulds describes as “one of the biggest shocks at the Crucible.”
