Last year, Eurosport ran a rather one-sided poll to discover the nation's favourite maximum break of all time and unsurprisingly the Rocket's record-breaking effort against Mick Price in 1997 came out on top.
O'Sullivan, who was just 21 at the time and four years away from his first of five Crucible crowns, compiled his break during a first-round victory and it won him a whopping £147,000.
It was clocked at five minutes 20 seconds at the time but in recent years it's been correctly altered to 5:08, which averages out at roughly 8.5 seconds per shot. To put that into perspective, that's over a minute quicker than the next fastest by O'Sullivan in 2003.
There have been 146 maximums in professional snooker history, with Steve Davis managing the first in 1982 while Ronnie O'Sullivan has scored the most with 15.
This includes the fastest ever in five minutes 20 seconds at the 1997 World Championship - which was also the Rocket's maiden maximum.
