It's not easy Liam to please everybody I played semi professional football and came to golf through football as a lot of golfers have so I enjoyed both keep up the good work you have a great back up team and I am looking forward to the new season so all fellow golfers have a great season and as I always say we are so blessed just to be able to enjoy our golf 😊
I respect stephen ,what I don't respect is how he speaks of Jimmy white ,Jimmy is a winner, just not the world title I think its very disrespectful of stephen yo speak of Jimmy like that just my personal opinion, and at least Jimmy never gave up like hendry did
I was a massive Jimmy supporter & was gutted at his losses to Hendry, but Hendry is a winning machine, & awesome in his prime, second only to Ronnie....
Hendry was the best of his generation changed the way people break build to more attacking style would never play a safely shot over a hard pot amazing at his best unplayable at times didn't he go unbeaten for about 3 half years and no one will beat that record
Interesting, his take on Jimmy White. Similar approach to the game, plus Jimmy would probably not be the player he was when you would take the gambling etc away from him, as that was how he felt best.
It's funny that this GOAT title doesn't really mean anything to either of them anymore. Hendry has always been my favourite because I was a young laddie growing up when he was playing and he was the only Scottish person that was good at anything growing up too. Hendry changed the game forever. He utterly dominated the entire sport for a decade. 7 world titles 5 of them on the trot! He was world number 1 for 8 consecutive years! He was ruthless, focused, formidable and had more bottle than any other player I've ever seen! Ronnie is the greatest naturally talented player ever and I imagine he always will be. Watching him play when he's at his best is simply sublime! He never had the same discipline, self control and temperament as Hendry which is why I think it has taken a longer career to beat all Hendrys records. Ronnie is such an accomplished player now and his mindset is so healthy. My favourite thing about them both now is their genuine depth of respect and admiration for each other. Ronnie happily admits Hendry was his idol growing up and that he classes him in the same category as the likes of Tiger Woods etc as people who utterly dominated their respective sports. Hendry states that he thinks that Ronnie is the greatest player of all time. The RU-vid videos with Hendry interviewing Ronnie are really great. Hendry is actually surprisingly really good at interviews. It's very clear throughout these videos that they hold each other in very high regard and its brilliant to see the two greatest players ever like that with each other!
@Dave thanks mate. Have you watched Hendry's RU-vid channel " Cue Tips "? It's tremendous! Honestly, it's probably my favourite thing to watch at the moment. Really helpful Videos with him giving us mortals tips, advice and demonstrations on how to improve our game. His laid back interviews with his guest players are interesting, inciteful and entertaining. His recent one with Steve Davis is brilliant. I can't believe how funny Davis is and how good their banter is with each other!
@@graemejack9040 Being Scottish and loving snooker from the 80s, higgins was our man, but Davis destroyed him, and Jimmy, and most others to be fair. I developed a serious dislike for Davis as a snooker player in the 80s, in part because he was winning, but also because how boring a player he was, and he was, he took very little chances, but he was brilliant in his own game. Then we heard rumours there is a young Scottish lad who might be better than Davis. In short, Hendry after a couple of years dislodged Davis by playing all out attacking snooker which had never been seen before, or played in a calculating manner as he done it, no drink or drugs involved. Never compare Hendrys game to the game Davis played, they were night and day. On a postscript, i like Davis now, he is a decent lad doing the commentating, but lets not forget how boring and arrogant he was in his pomp in the 80s, his interview after the 85 final with Taylor summed him up at that time, he could barely congratulate his opponent on winning, yes he lost, but he had already won it three times at that time. History has been kind to him and his handler hearn.
@myt mt I agree with everything you said mate. I didn't compare Hendry with Davis though? I have to say I do like Davis now. I loved his recent appearance on Hendry's cue tips channel. He's actually pretty funny and they both have good banter with each other.
Bruce Lee was amazing. A big loss to the world 🌎. A true legend 🙏 The one and only Bruce Lee The Legend The Best Ever 🐉 still the best after all of these years 👌 The Untouchable Dragon 🐉 keeps on flowing like water 🐉 @bleejkd
He was a great bond nice man Jimmy hendrix was going to do a soundtrack for one of his movies just before he passed away Jimmy went out with George's ex girlfriend.
The one Bond film, and he pulled off a great performance, he definitely could have done more, I remember reading that he was on the verge of doing a movie with Bruce lee, would've loved to have seen it 😔 RIP Bruce lee, he had so much more to give the world in the movies, sad end to a legend.
If I wasn't a Scot I may not love Hendry as much as I do. Everyone wanted Jimmy to win a world title including me but having said that Hendry was extremely attacking too. He always looked to break the pack at the earliest opportunity. He was cold as ice when he was in the balls and he had them too! A true champ, amazing sportsman and great Scot
Jimmy has since come out and admitted he was either snorting coke or smoking crack for 4 of their meetings, not to mention whispers of him throwing one of them to clear a dept. Sadly he probably never had much of a chance against Hendry in those finals.
hendry was a great player,but for me ronnie is arguably the better player,the standard in hendrys era was no where near as good as todays,so it proves ronnie,whos just won his 7th world title is the greatest,to be world No 1 at 46,its a no brainer.
Interesting because Hendry beat O'Sullivan scoring 8 centuries in the world snooker championships, in the semi. Snooker was its peak back then, as the popularity in the 80's brought in alot of good talent. The harsh reality is that its popularity has dramatically declined since than, and no real good player has emerged, even including Selby. This is why Higgins O'Sullivan and William's are still at the top of the game. 80's were the heyday.
For me the best all round player, sorry for the Ronnie fans, but professionaly speaking...he had a granite mental strength that Ronnie had lacked many times.
Most dominant player in the history of the game, through the 90s particularly. Ronnie has longevity and better stats (partly because of the longevity), but if dominance over a sustained period is your criteria, Hendry is still your man, then Davis. All depends how you define the GOAT question really.
You can only beat who you've got around you. Davis and Hendry were miles better than the players in their respective eras. O'Sullivan has played in a much more competitive era and has been successful for 30 years. Ronnie is the GOAT.
@@Serreski Yeah that's dominance though, as I mentioned, isn't it? Hendry beat everyone around him in a much more dominant fashion that O'Sullivan ever did, and for a sustained period arguably (around 9 years). If your criteria is dominance, Hendry is your man. All depends on how you define 'greatest'!
@@dalenewton9697 Hendry was great but for only a decade and he played far weaker competitors than O'Sullivan, as I said. You cannot compare sports across different eras.
@@Serreski I think there is a legitimate argument that it is not possible to compare compare sports across different eras, but if that is the case then you can't say any one players is the 'greatest of all time', by definition! Every living physicist knows a tonne more about physics than Isaac Newton, for example, but can one therefore make a claim that every physicist alive today is greater than Newton? Not by my definition of the 'greatest', but again it entirely depends on what one defines it to be.
@@dalenewton9697 Thats not really a good example. Newton invented calculus, optics and, oh yeah the theory of gravitation in his garage. Not many modern physicists can lay similar claims (except Einstein, perhaps Hawking).
As a Jimmy White fan I never liked Hendry that much. I still have nightmares over that missed black in 94. However credit where it clearly is due, Hendry is now the best pundit on the BBC, tells it as it is and you understand why he was such a champion. Top bloke.
Raymond Chow was a Hong Kong triad member and was most likely slipping poison into Bruce's food and drink.Raymond Chow stood to gain a lot more from Bruce's death than lose...
I agree. As a match player there was none better, only Steve Davis and Reardon come close. O'Sullivan is an unbelievable player, the best ever in terms of natural ability but doesn't quite have the temperament of those three.
Ronnie and Stephen are the best snooker players ever. They both have the drive, determination, killer instinct, aggressive way of playing and are such fascinating individuals to listen to and learn from. God bless them both 🙏 👍👏❤❤
I am utterly surprised that Stephen Hendry wasn’t given a nickname, his nickname should have been The Terminator, he was so much like the character played by Schwarzenegger in the first Terminator movie.
Stephen talks about Jimmy only for about 1 minute of the video. Always interesting to hear SH thoughts on snooker but this is blatant click bait Misleading title.
As a big white fan, Henry was difficult to root for, but if Jimmy wasn't around I would of rooted for him. I think because Jimmy came so close, it was tough to watch. Now with time I am just glad we got to see great snooker, regardless of winners.
Its bad enough the video didn’t work. The interviewer is shit plus he keeps swallowing his bloody spit and makes noise that makes me wanna throw up. I am shocked Hendry agreed to such amateur interviewer
The greatest until Ronnie came along and reached his peek. Hendry was incredible to watch, he never missed a pot. Centuries galore, with his look and walk round the table. Had everything persona, talent, hunger to win separated him from the rest . 2nd best in history obviously ronnie o'sullivan, is the greatest ever.
I’d still rate hendry as no 1 with both at their peak but yes it’s a fine line, ronnies obviously continued to play a lot longer but it’s taken him 3 times as long to get equal terms with hendry
Hendry is the most dominant player in the history of the game, through the 90s particularly. Ronnie has longevity and better stats (partly because of it), but if dominance over a 5+ year period is your criteria, Hendry is still your man, then Davis. All depends how you define the GOAT question.
