RONNIE O'SULLIVAN is looking to find the next star of snooker in his Saudi Arabian academy - and hopefuls are surrounded with plenty of inspiration.
"I mean, it's not easy, but that's ultimately what Ronnie would like to see is obviously a Saudi player playing on the tour.".
Eddie - also PDC chairman - has visited the O'Sullivan academy and even tested out Bond's cue.
SunSport took a trip to Riyadh's Boulevard City to visit the Rocket's academy - and was immediately greeted with a TV monitor playing O'Sullivan's highlights.
Bond - a World Championship finalist - has known O'Sullivan since the British legend was 11 years old and they spent years together on the tour.
