Ken Doherty’s luggage disaster is something that most holiday goers can relate to

We've all been there, after a long trip abroad your luggage has vanished into thin air.

You wait and wait and wait as suitcases go round the baggage carousel but yours isn't there. All the important belongings gone, an absolute disaster. It could be worse though, you could be Ken Doherty. He's off to the 2017 World Cup in China which starts on 3 July to represent Ireland but when he last competed in the tournament back in 2015, the worst case scenario struck as his luggage went missing. Speaking to Worldsnooker.com, Doherty said: “Last time out at the 2015 World Cup things didn’t quite work out for us. Our cues and cases didn’t arrive so I hope we can fare better this time around! We had one cue to share between us that we borrowed from one of the Iranian players. We were swapping it between us in the doubles." This isn't the first time that luggage has cost sports people, Rory McIlroy's clubs were lost by United Airlines two days prior to teeing off at the at 2014 Irish Open. https://twitter.com/McIlroyRory/status/478858524127399936?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.the42.ie%2Frory-mcilroy-clubs-1522328-Jun2014%2F At least McIlroy's story had a happy ending, and with a great pun too. https://twitter.com/McIlroyRory/status/479248505392087040
