Snooker World Champion Ronnie O’Sullivan has revealed a surprise guest that he wants as his next opponent after winning yet another world title.\u00a0<\/p>\n
O’Sullivan beat Ding Junhai 10-7 on Saturday to win a record-extending eighth UK Championship.<\/p>\n
The win made him the oldest ever UK Champion, at 48 years-old, and means he now holds the record for both oldest and youngest winner of the competition.<\/p>\n
O’Sullivan beat Stephen Hendry in 1993 to claim his first ranking title aged just 17 and has since record 22 Triple Crown triumphs and 40 ranking titles.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However the snooker legend has his sights set on a sporting crossover after he cheekily challenged footballer Jude Bellingham to a game of snooker.<\/p>\n

Bellingham recently posted an image on his Instagram holding a snooker cue, sparking a tongue in cheek reaction from O’Sullivan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The 48-year-old\u00a0offered a jokey response, saying on his own Instagram story: ‘*Watches half an hour of the Ronnie doc*.’<\/p>\n
‘Let me know if you fancy a game,’ he added with a wink emoji, with Bellingham replying on his story with a handshake.<\/p>\n
O’Sullivan was referring to the documentary titled ‘Ronnie O’Sullivan: Edge of Everything’\u00a0 that he released on Novemeber 23rd.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The hour-long film documents his rise to the top of the snooker game and also sheds light on some of his struggles with mental health.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0It is yet to be confirmed if the two stars of their respective sports will actually play a game, but the unexpected crossover would surely be surprising.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bellingham continues to shine in Madrid and has now knotched 16 goals in 18 appearances for Los Blancos.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His league record, standing at 12 goals in his first 14 games, meaning he matches numbers set by Cristiano Ronaldo, Ronaldo Nazario and Robert Lewandowski.\u00a0<\/p>\n

England and Real Madrid midfielder Bellingham is breaking records after an electric start to life in Spain.\u00a0<\/p>\n
