#Ronnie 

See the respect between the 2. Hendry probably one of the few people than can get a genuine interview from Ronnie. Both absolute legends.

Very cool to see Ronnie call the rise of Luca Brecel so early. Real recognize real. Brecel's performance in the world championship was astounding!

Im the fella down the club that cant make 30

This interview comes across as the most honest I've seen from Ronnie

Let me explain this interview to our American friends, the three that might fall into it: This is like Jordan and LeBron sitting on a couch talking. That's how big these people are.

What a fantastic interview. Total respect between the two greatest players of modern snooker.

He forgot to mention the cue action

Two of the greatest players to ever grace the game, what better to see them together having a conversation superb.

Best 2 players iv ever seen. Hendry had to grow on me because he wouldn’t miss a ball and took over Davis. Then when I saw O’Sullivan and it was wow there’s someone as good as Hendry and he’s English. That 5 minutes 147 will never be beat

It makes the spine tingle, just listening to, and admiring these two incredible legends. It is so rare in sport that the two total legends of the sport be sat on the same couch. I can think only, of Ali and Foreman, Borg and McEnroe (or Federer and either Djok or Nadders)... this interview is in that category. The humility of BOTH players is incredible. But that is greatness I guess. O'Sullivan is undoubtedly the greatest player in history, but it took Davis, then Hendry to make him that.

The two greatest of all time. I’ve always felt if Ronnie, who is always my favourite player, had the same ruthless desire to win as Hendry did, he’d be on ten world titles at least. They may be different in ways, but their collective records are awe inspiring.

Great to watch and listen to this interview. You get to see the real Ronnie O'Sullivan come out. Not the one who makes various comments during tournaments that get people annoyed with him and call him arrogant. He isn't arrogant. His comments are more coming from feelings of being uncomfortable as he says. He doesn't socialize with any of the players really. All but a few are part of a new generation.

I'm that fella to lol makes me want to play listening to these two geniuses. It's such a hard game mentally very draining when I keep missing.

These guys know good eachother are and the respect between them is immense.

Ronnie seems more relaxed these days and looks much better. The healthier lifestyle agrees with him.

Must be hard for Stephen, what a legend, the white shark of the nineties.

Awesome interview. I hope Stephen manages to invite Ronnie to come on his channel some time.

best commentator interviews the best player ever.

Ronnie is just a bloke down the pub with an insane gift for snooker.... His mindset now is inspirational whether he realises it or not.

The best. Two snooker Gods.

Will go down in history as one of the best and most honest interviews between two players that ive seen. Ronnies always got that potential to go off track a bit. Lol.

Fascinating interview from two of the greatest. Thanks.

2 legends my goodness

This time Ronnie scores high on the diplomacy scoreboard. Not always his forte. You gotta love this cool dude!

You can see how much Ronnie adores Hendry

1:26 am Sydney Aus time I’ve always wanted to play like these 2. What an honour to even play Snooker with these 2 in mind. I have played Snooker for many many years, I used to play competitive all the time in the late 1990’s and so on. I came runner up in the Championship finals against several males at the time. I had my own cue, chalk etc. I spent hours and hours practicing, I took it very seriously. Anyway, fast forward until 2023, I haven’t played for a long Time and really miss the competitive side of it. I was so proud I got a trophy being the only female at that time to have earned one at the Championships I played in. It was the best days I’ve had in the way of competing in anything. I would love to play again, however over the last several years my responsibilities changed due to parenthood etc. I will def play again, I really don’t want to lose the technique of playing, and all the little things I’ve spent hours upon hours on in the past. These 2 GODS are the absolute best, aside from Eddie Charlton of course, to play even a smidge like these GODS would be an absolute GIFT. #Legends

Idk why I never saw the video before but wow. Can’t believe Hendry interviewed Ronnie

What a great chat this was.

2 of the greats, well done guys,

Would love to see Ronnie doing the Tough Table challenge, Stephen! You both are great characters, and I want to thank you for making the top players look more open and approachable!

I’m not that bad but when I pot a red n a colour I quickly start thinking myself as a pro n miss that second red...

This might be the best sporting interview ever. I don't expect everyone to get it. But it's true.

can watch these fellas talk all day

2 big time greats man!!

Great song choice!

Two legends

The greatest 20 majors 37 ranking BOOM 👌

I think Ronnie had just won a minor tournament, and the interview was later that same day, basically, this is the best interview Ronnie has ever given, Stephen asked all the right questions, that real fans would ask, not the morons on the tv channels, Ronnie nearly always interrupts, disagrees with the interviewer, because the games important points, are not the parts tv morons want to talk about, to them it’s all about raising the atmospheare for effect, Stephen is obviously one of the few snooker players that Ronnie will go to for a chat, cause he’s the only one whose done the business. I’m not sure that Davis is as liberal with his views, Davis is not a martinet, but he’s too disciplined for Ronnie, I believe.

Good interview

There is no bigger fanboy of Ronnie than Hendry.

They make a great duo.

Two great champions there. .

Watching this now that ronnie has overtaken Hendry in major titles won and equalled his world championships is awesome ronnie didn’t seem confident he’d do it back then shows his humbleness at times

Refreshingly honest genius at the game.

1990 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1999 vs 2001 2004 2008 2012 2013 2020 7-6 in world championships to Stephen Hendry! Well done Stephen

Always good to win in Barnsley, Ronnie 👉

Has anyone ever had a more perfect sporting career than Ronnie from a fan's perspective? Sure, there have been more dominant champs and more clear cut GOATs, but from a pure entertainment perspective I can't think of anyone. Let me know if you think anybody else can match Ronnie for: 1) Longevity - First ranking title at 17, and winning the World's again at 44 2) Unpredictability - You never know when he is going to have a good tournament (Hendry's dominance was hardly exciting) 3) Talent - left hand playing, 5 Minute 147, need I go on?

Hope these 2 come up against each other in a tournament soon. be a good watch 👌

When I went on my world tour in 1997, I told everyone that naseem Hamed and Ronnie o sullivan were England's two most naturally talented sportsmen. 23 years later and Ronnie is still flying that flag.

2 🐐 right there

Ronnie throwing me under the bus 0:39 :(

I’m only watching this now and wow he has smashed those records since

Two humble, but incredibly talented individuals.

the chat about luka ahahaha nice one

5:43 He was right about Brecel

Arw they best friends they call each other dude

"It's all about the cue action."

Hendry was my idol until he retired now its Ronnie. When he retired Judd Trump will take his place as my fav player.

Luca Brecel...well spotted Ronnie!

रोनी सबसे महान है

This was really good, RoS not talking b0ll0cks for a change. 😎

There you go Stephen asked Ronnie who could be a big name in the future and he said LUKA -WOW

Two months after this video was published he did close the gap to Hendry. I wonder how this interview would look like now when he actually has Hendry's record in his reach.

Geniuses

Stone Cold & The Rock Ali & Tyson Hendry & O'Sullivan

It all comes down to Cue Action.

Now look at you Ronnie with your mindset 🙏never been a slave to the game or politically perfect........ 20 majors 37 ranking titles the most premier leagues the most centuries and 147s keeping hendry Higgins Williams Selby robbo ding trump now Wilson at bay entertaining us for decades keeping snooker afloat in the most competitive era ever keeping sponsors happy and viewing figures up all on his own terms never been a slave to the game..........only last year at 43 he wins the inaugural coral series to return to world number 1 and wins the world's again at 44 for the 6th time 👌his longevity is legendary his aura and presence is unique nobody like him everything he does makes headlines and he's not done yet 👌simply the greatest 🙏

And lets be honest on ronnie's day theres no one ever that could beat him

I was on for a century yesterday but I missed the first color.

He’s right I’m that fella at the club who can’t make 30 🤣 but im gona keep trying til I can make a century one day I will 😊

Luca brecel watching this now with a pizza 😏 🍕

I wish you repeat the interview and tell him to talk a little slower because I couldn't understand

Ronnie sounds like frank spencer

I just assumed the top 16 were all pals and it was one big jolly up, cos they all go to the same events. I think it's nice that he doesn't want anything to do with them lol. Not what I expected to hear..

Having conservations like that is probably what made hendry comeback he only has about 6,7 players to worry about the rest he can take.

30, I’d be happy to make a consistent 15

To me it’s important to precise the date & context of the interview.

Hendry defeated Ding in two World Championships.

this interview was too short.

Anyone know what year this interview was done?

Game recognise Game.

Ronnie still believes Stephen is the greatest player ever...

This is like Messi and Ronaldo

When Zues and Odin sit down for chat

You could 6 other tournaments but you are ready to swap it with the World... Had predicted it for Judd 😉

Williams lacks cue power ??? What ??? 😳😳

It’s a very good day if I’m making anywhere near 30.

HEY im that fella that can't make thirty

Very prophetic of Ronnie to mention Luca. This world championships might have been the torch being past. I'm now doubting that Ronnie will win number 8. I fear he will announce a retirement come 2025 after a loss in 2024. Snooker will lose it's Pele. The greatest to play the game.

Oh no it’s I’m wetting my pants again Ronnie 🍼🍼🍼🍼🍼🍼🍼🍼🍼

Hmmm interesting Ronnie said he would swap 6 titles for the WC. Wonder if Trump feels like that just now.

Both together won 13 world titles... 🤦

Trump should break all records

His weakness is his cue action

It's great to hear that Steve is coming back , tired of Ronnie's petulance... We want Steve...Steve was a man that didn't waver, he didn't complain, he won. He'd slap Ronnie silly.

This has to be a slightly old video as Trump is so dominant lately

Dont worry Stephen Hendry no 1 will ever win 5 masters in a row thats a record u will hold forever .

Yessssssss. Stephen Hendry is still the best in terms of history. Without the match fixing and corruption Ronnie would have beat his record.

The referry should carry an extra black ball in his pocket for quick switch. Than Ronnie can break his 147 speed record

World champ doing his "hobby"... Ridiculous
