Luca Brecel is bidding either in Berlin or in the future to enter that renowned pantheon of ‘famous Belgians’. Here is Inside Snooker’s own selection on what he is up against to crack it:
Tintin (and creator Herge); fictional detective Hercule Poirot; five-time Tour de France winner Eddy Merckx; legendary singer Plastic Bertrand of ‘Ca plane pour moi’ fame; the current Belgium national football team especially Eden Hazard and Vincent Kompany but not Christian Benteke; crap film king Jean-Claude van Damme; Audrey Hepburn (are you sure?); tennis champion Kim Clijsters, and last but not least Baroque painter Rubens.
