Dominic Dale's Farewell to Professional Snooker

Dominic Dale, the 53-year-old Welshman nicknamed 'The Spaceman', has decided to retire from professional snooker. His career began in 1992 and included two ranking event titles. Despite having fewer trophies than his contemporaries, he is proud of his achievements. Dale was known for his peroxide-blonde hairstyles and serenading fans. Now, he plans to focus on other aspects of life.

He lost to Daniel Wells in a qualifier but will play in the World Seniors Championship next month. Dale reflected on his time playing with legends like Ronnie O'Sullivan and John Higgins, expressing amazement at their success and his own journey in the sport.
