SHAUN MURPHY is desperate to join an elite club of multiple world champions 20 years on from his golden moment.

The Magician, 42, burst onto the scene to win the 2005 World Championship.

And two decades later Murphy is one of only 11 players who have completed the coveted Triple Crown World Championship, UK Championship and Masters.

But his quest to etch his name in history as a multiple winner of the game's greatest prize, which only eight other men have done in the modern era, still goes on.
