Neal Foulds On His Punditry Style, Jimmy White & The Romford Rap 

Neal Foulds is a top bloke ....totally genuine !!!!

Neal is a top bloke and great commentator. Not a bad player in his day.

What a lovely human being Neal is, such a shame he feels a bit of negativity about even picking up a cue anymore but top bloke and deserves many more years doing what he does so well.

Love this channel. Can you get Jimmy on soon please? We need this to happen.

Great interview, Neal is so humble, he's brilliant at what he does and was a phenomenal player in his day who doesn't get enough credit for what he achieved 👏 #legend

Fouldsy is an integral part of the sport, I wish he commentated on every match. Great episode!

When Stephen started commentary he used say hardly anything -- what he did say was brutally honest and critical. He found a good balance after a while. He's definitely one of my favourite commentators, along with Foulds and MacManus

I was never a Hendry fan when he was playing in his prime I always rooted for Jimmy White. However now he’s doing this channel I’ve gotten to see the other side of him and he’s brilliant. I now appreciate just how special he was in his prime and what a nice guy he really is. Great stuff Stephen and thank you.

I dont know just how ill Clive Everton is these days but i would love to see stephen to have Clive on this channel. He is by far the most knowledgeable guy ever in snoomer and billiards. And it was sad what the bbc done kicking him out after all the years of service he gave to them and to snooker. Hope you are doing ok Mr Clive Everton.

Interviews with past stars are my favorite cue tips videos. Really enjoy their stories like Neal's account of a 13 year old Jimmy.

Hendry is an incredibly humble guy. Credit to our game.

Great interview from two talented and likeable ex-pros. A lot of people probably view Neal as a bore or a square, but he's actually quite an interesting, genuine and down-to-earth guy, and was a great player in his day. As for SH, well, he's just a straight legend! Thanks for the upload.

Fouldsy and McManus are the two best pundits in the game. Although, Stephen can say things other pundits can't, because of how he dominated and ultimately changed how players approach to the game.

Such a popular player back in the day, I remember growing up in the 70s you'd see his initials written on brick walls everywhere

I like Neal's commentary and analysis. Very elocute and detailed.

Brilliant! In total honesty, I have come to really enjoy Steven's commentary and now live his channel. Neil Foulds has always been my favourite commentator and was chuffed to hear Steven thinks the same! Shame Jimmy wouldn't come on but he has his reasons I guess.

Neal Foulds is such a good bloke. Was looking forward to seeing him on here for quite a while. Great fella

Neil is such a great commentator and for those of us old enough to remember a very good player

Brilliant pundits, both these guys

I love neal. Hopefully a pundit for many more years to come

Neal and John Virgo best two commentators.

I used to work with Fouldsy when he did the commentary work for Ladbrokes at their head office. He was always a good sport, and I introduced him to beef jerky. Good guy, always friendly and happy to chat.

Another excellent guest to have and superb interview. You're good, Stephen, but for me, Foulds is the best analyst/commentator in the game.

Your content is excellent, I'm from all over Brazil following all your videos, congratulations, keep going.

One of the best snooker commentators I have ever heard, enjoy listening to Neal

What a great video. Neal Foulds is the best in the business at punditry

Only found this channel a few months ago, getting through them one by one, nice to see one of the true greats in sport on RU-vid, I'm 43 and watched snooker from 8 years old and still play now myself in my local league, but remember watching Hendry and his battles against the world's best, especially and against Jimmy, keep the vids coming, really enjoying the channel

Neal was a very good player and today is an excellent pundit and commentator, really enjoy listening to him. Met him at the Welsh Open in 2020, lovely bloke. Cheers Stephen for another excellent video

Great video as always, glad Neil is getting the recognition he deserves.

Neal's commentary is on point, he also has a way of building the intensity when a frame becomes nervy. I don't think I've ever heard him say: he couldn't have picked it up with his hand and place it any better 😄

Two brilliant players and commentators great to hear them reminisce, another fantastic post Stephen

I always liked watching neal play...and now listening, like Stephen said hes clearly the best...

This was absolutely wonderful. A great interview. I stopped it in the middle to watch the snooker loopy video. Weren't they YOUNG!!!

Great chat between snooker's two best pundits , good point made about the value of silence which seems lost on others in the ITV and Eurosport camps. Love Stephen's honesty and Neil's love for the game, even though he's not picked up a cue for years. Cheers.

Lovely video - many thanks to Stephen. I was sad to hear that someone disliked Neal's commentary because he didn't win as many tournaments as some of the people he's talking about - about from his logical argument that on that basis only Hendry could talk about O'Sullivan, and so on, there's the obvious fact that it's possible to know and express a lot about how something is done without being able to do it. Neal is absolutely my favourite commentator (in a crowded field) - witty, knowledgeable, fair-minded and very tactful. with a wonderfully natural way with words: who can forget his 'both arms available' comment?

Have just listened to the Radio 5 interview with Stephen... A great listen for this 73 year old who has followed the life and career of Stephen since he was 16... I have loved every minute...as did my late father...who like Stephen,s grandfather was himself a very good player.... The best I ever played against...

Brilliant to see you guys remenicing about your roles in the game past and present..👍

Great video, love Fouldsy… very affable, very accommodating, great story teller, dry sense of humour. Love him on comms too

Always a pleasure when Mr Foulds commentates a game! Such a cool guy

When it comes to snooker comms Fouldsy, Hendry & McManus are the best in my opinion

What a great interview, the best so far. Neil, what a fantastic character, honest, knowledgeable. Top commentator. And well,we all know about Stephen????

What a legend he is, love Neal. Shame he couldn’t do anything on the table for us

Fouldsy is a fantastic pundit. No ego whatsoever. Him and McManus are at the top of the tree. Hendry and Davis command instant respect. It’s also good to have the modern players on sometimes as well because they can see the game differently

I played neal in around 1984 at neasden , ron gross snooker centre . I left my chalk on the table , he went to play his shot and swiped my chalk off the able with his cue quickly told me that not snooker etiquette to leave it there . He gave me 70 start and beat me 👍. Have so many stories from that era , Jimmy used to come down there , especially when Benson and hedges masters was on at Wembley and take loads of money off the owner . I think Jimmy gave Ron gross a 14 start . Ron gross was amateur champion on the late 50s if i remember. Great memories , great times . The whole club backed neale to beat Alex Higgins in his first world championship , and neale duly obliged He was big odds too as a rookie . Too many other stories that i cant tell on here 😂. Neale is a great commentator now . Like stephen said " The best "

Brilliant interview, brilliant guest and a brilliant channel. I wished this was longer, I could listen to Neil and Stephen talk all day. Please get Neil back on! I’d also love, love, love Stephen to play and talk to Mark Selby. That would be a great watch…!

These videos are just pure gems

I just searched for "Neal Foulds laughing". Clive's sleeve and the one armed one. Had me laughing along - brilliant.

What a lovely man. Humble and understated, but very good at what he does.

More than Cue Tips, it should be called History of Snooker. Enjoyable from start to finish. Great editing, every single bit is meaningfull.

I used to be a member of the Ron Gross Snooker Club in Neasden. Neil was always in there playing snooker as a schoolboy, although I doubt he ever did go to school - he was always in the snooker hall. And all the greats turned up at that club, so no wonder his game progressed so far. Plus his dad was pretty good too.

Neal is definately the best commentator in my humble opinion. Such a nice bloke too and used to love watching him play back in the day. Great channel Stephen, keep up the hard workmyou put into doing this channel, us snooker fans really appreciate it. Agree totally with Neal in terms of Stephen really adds a different take to commentary and deserves to be able to says what he says and feels.

No offense to you Stephen or Dennis Taylor. But Neil is the best as a pundit .. love listening to him when he's watching a game of snooker and giving his opinion. Top man 👍

Neal did an exhibition up here in lancaster might have been around 1988 , top bloke, ive still got his signed cue and case that they raffled off on the night.

Would love you to do more of the instagram lives like you did during covid. Any chance of doing some again? Great channel and great guests. Keep up the great work 👍

Neil is a top bloke and without trying extremely funny love listening to his commentary and knowledge of the game which is first class, also Stephen with his blunt comments when players miss or play bad shots and when your a seven time world champion you sort of have gained the right to give an honest opinion.

Stephen is just like Santa...... He keeps on delivering!!! One of my favourite RU-vid channels. ❤

At the 11th. Minute Steven mentions Neal's commentary... I agree 💯% with the comment.... Apart from his commentary skills he comes across with great sense of humour and his timing of words is fabulous... Neil commented on Stevens ability to pick out the shots before they are even decided by the player .. invariably Steven is spot on and it's amazing to watch....and yes angles McManus is great too...Great video here... Enjoyed immensely and I knew it would be good.... Great watch ..

My favourite commentator! The most informative and always keeps it real

i remember playing Geoff Foulds in a pro-am around 1979,i won the first frame with a 80 break then didnt get a shot in the next 3 frames,top player

Neal is a lovely chap, and his commentary is second to non. I remember him winning the BCE International which was a TV tournament in the 80's.

Great show! Except it was a bit short. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

It seems that everyone Stephen interviews who played pre 2000 always ranks Goff's as one of their favourite venues. Hopefully it will make a return to the calendar in the future

Love your vids stephen cant wait for john higgins one coming soon!

Great interview. I still remember the days when Neal Foulds did commentary on Stephen Hendry's matches, e.g. vs. Ryan Day in 2008 as well as John Higgins and Stephen Maguire in 2012. I note that people who say that Hendry retired too early tend to refer to that superb first session and 147 against Stuart Bingham but to overlook the bad middle session vs. Higgins and the drubbing vs. Maguire. I felt that those performances at 2012 WSC showed that championship winning form was still in there but that the ability to consistently produce it in a match had gone.

Love to see a vid dedicated to talking about Paul Hunter, he was phenomenal and I feel like we're losing touch with his memory and short lived legacy.. also a member of the 27 club! Maybe other pros/his family highlighting what he achieved or just how he was as a personality Great stuff as always

21 minutes is criminal mate Should've been 40+minutes Hope there are more contents with him

Brilliant Channel. I would love to see a four some with Jimmy, Ronnie, Steve Davis and Steven Hendry. Best of five frames. Now that would be a classic and a good laugh.

Thanks for your honestly chaps !. This Channel is the absolute Best. You should look at doing a Live Q & A with your top Guests - like what Gary Neville has done !.

Would like to see him do the tough table challenge

If you're watching this Neal, Stephen's right on you as a pundit. Foulds is a great commentator and pundit, and comes across as an all round nice guy. He's probably my favourite too.

Would love to see Dominic Dale on here please!!

Amazing video loved it...thankyou....John Higgins next please 🙏❤️

Great point about "over talking". Never even mentioned Phil Yates, yet the point was made.

I remember watching a snooker match when neal foulds and this other guy who i really like listening to started talking about a place called pottingham, or puttingham. Totally awesome moment, when two great commentators sidetrack for a little while. I like this other guys voice and commentating so much, i decided to never google his face. I think his name is phil, and he is funny and has the best memory ever. Neal foulds is great!

Love this channel...such easy listening. Keep up the good work Mr Hendry

Enjoyed that, Neal founds is very humble ,nice fella,

Brilliant content Stephen, Neil Foulds chatting to you was so insightful, keep it going!

Great video. Stephen Hendry been a hero of mine since I was wee and is great to see this side of him! Neal comes across really well as well

Best video yet. This was really surprising and it’s made me really like Neil even more. Awesome. 🎉😮

Wow. He did it. Excellent.

Brilliant as ever. Nice guy Neil I remember watching him play back in the day. He wasn’t to shabby as I remember. Very knowledgeable. Loving this channel a chat with the king of the 70s the great ray reardon would be fantastic!! Hint hint

Great show gents.very informative

Must admit, never had much time for him as a commentator, but now I have the utmost respect. Very good interview indeed.

Great to see Fouldsy on the channel just need to get Jill Douglas involved and thats the itv team complete well the studio team at least not including Rob Walker Phil Yates and Dave Hendon of course

Neal Foulds was a great player in his day. Slipped down in 90s but good player to watch and had plenty of very good victories. His punditry is second to none. Good to have him on ITV events or the 900.

Very good video we love Neal can you try get on John Parrott John Virgo John Higgins also.. one of those John's haha

As always, brilliant. Great job Stephen and Neil...

Please bring on John Virgo, he's just such a legend no less than Neal! Great episode as always Stephen, the quality of these episodes are just top notch, we're really spoiled!!!!

Good morning. Stephen, you are a legend, an icon. I'd pay good money just to shake your hand sir. Neal as ever is gracious and humble. A lovely gentleman. I am looking forward to seeing you Stephen at the Embassy in Skegness in March, along with Steve Davis and Dennis Taylor. 3 of my heroes. Now, on a different tack, I would really love to see Stephen Maguire and you on this channel. I've always liked Stephen and it's so sad how he's quietly slipped away from where he was and indeed where he should be. Stephen Maguire has got a lovely cue action, is a brilliant break builder, still, and can still cut it at the top, although of course recent years have proved more difficult for him. Please please please interview Stephen Maguire, Stephen. Please. All the best to you sir

Right, that's it. Gonna get my mum to write to Fouldsy! 😂 Love this insight.

Really enjoyed that. Thanks

I had to look up what happened with Neal's dad, saw he refused to give up being chairman and director of the WPBSA, after a vote of no conference, led by 5 players, including Stephen Hendry😂 Nice to see it looks like that's all water under the bridge now, I hope Geoff still enjoys watching the snooker.

Fantastic podcast Stephen. Keep it up please. Avid follower. Moving forward, your target guests will obviously diminish over time..... How about having a dedicated one with a member of the general public? Maybe every couple of months....set up a joining fee and introduce a completion to determine the lucky guest.....I'm pretty sure dedicated subscribers would enlist

Enjoyed that. It would of been nice to see Neal at least attempt a long blue or something though lol. Does he really not like picking up a cue anymore?

Love Neil, shouldn’t put himself down. Loved watching you play.

WOW !!! - That 20 minutes just flew by !!!! - Love neal and his Dad was a very good player in his day, along with Patsy Houlihan, Ray Reardon and John Spencer (before they turned pro) - Back in his Dad's day the amateur game was better than the pros

Such a fantastic dude and an eloquent commentator

Excellent episode. Would love to see your great pal and old rival John Parrott on. Great colleagues and JP one of the few players to give you a few headaches in that era!! An underrated great and good raconteur

I was impressed by Neil's commentaries before I knew whose voice I was hearing. I still think he is among the best.

Wonderful moment watching Stephen laugh when Neil mentions Jimmy White being the oldest 13 year old he’d ever met. Respect and friendships that go back decades
