Gunnell's form was steady, if unspectacular, during the 2009/10 season. He won his opening match in five of the six ranking tournaments, though he failed to qualify for the venue stage of any of those.
Most disappointing for the Telford cueman was a 10-4 defeat to Steve Davis in the final qualifying round of the Betfred.com World Snooker Championship - denying him a long-awaited Crucible debut.
At the end of the season he slipped two places down the ranking list to No 44.
Gunnell equaled his best perfromance in a ranking event at the 2008 Grand Prix. He qualified with wins over Vincent Muldoon and Stuart Bingham and took that form into his first round match with Shaun Murphy. A 5-3 victory put him into the last 16, but after a marathon match against Steve Davis that lasted almost four and a half hours, it was the Nugget who went through 5-4.
That was his fourth appearance in the last 16 of a ranking event - the other three have all come in Asia.
Practising against friend Ian Duffy at a club in Telford in 2003, Gunnell pulled off an extraordinary feat with three maximum 147 breaks in the space of four frames.
His biggest goals are to qualify for the Crucible and get into the top 32 of the rankings.
