Stuart Bingham sees it as a privilege to be in the position to try and break the curse of the Crucible, where no first time world champion has ever successfully defended their title. Mitchell Trubisky Youth Jersey . Bingham, 39, returns to the scene of his unexpected triumph on Saturday when he faces Ali Carter in the opening round of this years World Championship.The Basildon-player arrives in Sheffield hoping to break with tradition and achieve what many of the greatest snooker stars in history have so far failed to do. Since the tournament moved to the Crucible in 1977, as many as 16 first-time champions have failed in their bid to claim back-to-back titles, including Steve Davis, Stephen Hendry, John Higgins and Ronnie OSullivan.Over the past 39 years, only two first-time winners have reached the final when defending - these are Joe Johnson (1987) and Ken Doherty (1998).Regarding the curse, Bingham said: Its an honour to have the Crucible curse tagged on me this year.A lot of people havent experienced what Ive had in the last year, so to have that chance to break the curse is going to be great.Nobodys ever done it, so the odds are stacked against me. Im looking forward now to Saturday and kicking it all off.And he faces a difficult opener against Carter who may be the world No 31 but is a two-time runner-up - losing both of his finals against OSullivan.Theres been a bit more pressure, mainly pressure on myself to try to play like a world champion, added Bingham.It took me near enough 10 months to get used to it. The last couple of months have been pretty good. Life has been fantastic.Ive been on things like A Question of Sport and other TV shows, and Ive been to places Id never dream of going, so its been fantastic really.I wouldnt change it for the world. I remember when people like Shaun Murphy and John Higgins were world champion, and youd definitely raise your game by 10 per-cent when you played those type of players to try to beat them and make a name for yourself.I knew that was going to happen to me but I thought Id be good enough to handle it but, for a while, obviously that wasnt the case.
