A large mural of snooker player Ronnie O’Sullivan has attracted widespread online criticism after appearing on the side of a snooker and pool club in Sheffield, with some viewers comparing the image to a “zombie.” Several outlets report the artwork has left some fans “terrified” or “hysterics,” while others note the comments spread quickly on social media.
The mural is a roughly 30-foot-tall work being created at Spot On Snooker and Pool Club on Langsett Road. The Daily Mail says the piece is commissioned by Dan Kirkland, the club owner, and that the artist insists the “zombie-like” look is intentional or at least not the finished result. Jowhar.com adds that scaffolding is erected again, suggesting the work is being adjusted or continued after the initial public reaction. Other coverage highlights the “rocket” and mixed fan responses, reflecting disagreement over how the final image should be interpreted.
