RONNIE O’SULLIVAN has shown off his maverick nature as he looked out of place for an iconic Crucible picture.
The Rocket stood out from the pack with his choice of outfit which varied massively to the rest of the snooker players.
While the likes of Judd Trump and Shaun Murphy were suited and booted, O’Sullivan went in a different direction.
He opted for a long-sleeved sweater in a more casual look as a picture was taken of all 16 players.
O’Sullivan also paired the sweater with some trainers and a lumberjack cost.
Fans reacted to O’Sullivan’s bold look on social media.

A fifth joked: “Got ‘Burtons Menswear – Autumn 2011 Collection’ written all over it.”
Another added: “Ronnie will do anything not to comply and have a little dig.”
The first round of the World Snooker Championship is on Saturday and will run through to May 6.
O’Sullivan will face Jackson Page in his first match as he looks to win that title for the eighth time in his career.
He was beaten by Luca Brecel in the quarter-final last year.
