My dad met him in Belfast, they were chatting for a little bit talking about his match with ronnie. my dad then said there’s only one way you’re going to beat ronnie tonight with that cue and Ken said how’s that, my dad replied turn it around and knock him out with it, he said Ken just walked off pissing himself laughing 😂

he played 134 out of a possible 137 frames, thats outrageous must be a record

@pyrrhicvictory6978 Год назад

@@peaceandLove220Yeah it's the most frames ever played in World Championship in the modern era I believe. Every match he had that year was epic, 2 deciders vs Dott, Murphy, going 10-0 up vs Higgins only for Higgins to win 7 in a row until Doherty got over the line. The epic 15-9 comeback vs Hunter, and then being 10-2 down to Williams and coming back to 16-16 incredible. As much as I like Williams as a player, after all the effort Doherty put in during that championship I do wish he'd won it. It would've been the greatest run ever to winning world championship. But Williams was on fire that year and having his best season ever.

@sonicrules666 Год назад

I have tickets to the semi final this year for the 8th time overall at the World Championships. I'm from near Leeds, a Snooker fan since 1988 when I was 6 years old. I was there live when Ken played Paul Hunter, was devastated when Hunter lost, nothing against Ken at all he's a legend and I always enjoyed watching him play, tragic what happened to Paul. I had to smile at the stories, particularly the one abou the cue when he was 11, crafty Ken eh!

@Bloxdio_God Год назад

I used to play in Kings Cross. Bob Davis used to try to give me lessons. I played Joe O'Boye and Peter Ebdon I was a teenager 3 years younger than Ebdon, but once I got to 16 I knew I wouldn't make it and just played for fun. Nowadays I am hopeless. Had a 66 the other day but was making regular centuries at 15. I remember Stephen Hendry being advertised in Snooker Scene for exhibitions whilst still an amatuer. Incredible player. Joe O'Boye was a great talent with a brilliant all round game but his discipline, or lack of it hampered him. Great days.

That £2 cue story is unbelievable. What a great insight. I remember the whole country standing still for those three hours in 1997, I was only a child myself and I was watching it with my dear grandfather who has long since passed away. He wasn’t an emotional man, quite the opposite in fact, but he was an avid snooker fan and I swear I remember seeing a tear leave his eye when our fellow Irishman beat the great Stephen Hendry to win the world championship. One of my fondest memories from my childhood ☘️

@eventdomain1 Год назад

Hey, Ilford, Ilford Snooker Centre - I was a member and met Ken. he was serving behind the bar and had a chat with him. I was being coached by Dave Gilbert as he was the resident pro before Ken was there, and Dave lived in Goodmayes at the time, actually he spent the whole day with me, showed me his house or flat, and found out he won a billiards competition. Story was I was trying to sell my cue and Dave said he would help, but the buyer wouldn't take it, as the cue has too much varnish, and I still have that cue today. Great pair of guys Ken and Dave. Ilford Snooker Centre is no more now - not sure why it shut down, shame...

@sharpvidtube Год назад

Ken was crafty as a kid, saving 3 ponds on the price of his cue. He was unlucky to be the same age as Stephen Hendry, then have Williams, Higgins and Ronnie to deal with. Well deserved his world championship and almost defended it only losing to John Higgins in superb form.
