In my opinion, the trait all geniuses share is a child like quality. Ronnie, gazza, maradonna. When u see them play it reminds u of what it felt like when u were a kid to just enjoy sport for the pure joy it gave u. Thanks Ronnie.
@@garymay799 prince andrew? he'd be no good in it. how'd we recognise him from all the other slimy little creatures? in fact they could use him as one of the trials. "have your photo taken with a paedophile"... trial.
JC believe me he is very competitive and wants to win on occasion he doesn't play well has an off day and loses.He makes out he doesn't care as it puts him under less pressure.
At that point in time he really was at peace with himself, the sport and everything. One hundred percent care-free. Oh how I envy him... He is so right though.
It's nice to see Ronnie and Peter Ebdon being in a friendly nature with one another, because they deliberately wind each other up when playing. Good to see they leave that at the table. Game's a game.
I haven't watched snooker in a long time so I was surprised too to see Peter and Ronnie sitting almost next to each other. Great indeed that there is no animosity...
@@mikeleigh506 respect? Nah I, don't think so. Ronnie even had a go at Ebdon saying he could never do like Ebdon playing long frames of snooker and also made fun of him saying he had loads of stamina for taking loads of time for playing a shot. Just notice when Ebdon asked a question to Ronnie here he immediately replied sarcastically. I don't think that Ronnie has any respect for Ebdon at all, he just tolerates him. Ronnie learned over the years to control his frustration even playing to a slow and boring player like Ebdon.
Notice how he nearly said distance runner at 5:20 then reminded himself he's a professional snooker player 😂 can't have it all now Ronnie haha. Saying that, his running times are really impressive, apparently he's done 5k in 17mins in the past and regularly does a mile in 5minutes 30.
I don't think he cares like he once did. I think he has realized he has nothing to prove to anyone. He's one of the greatest the sport has ever seen or will probably ever see. Of course he still cares about playing well, but he doesn't care about those minor gains anymore.
Got to love his look on things these days, but I wonder what other players think when they see this sort of interview. A relaxed and easygoing Ronnie must terrify some of the field.
I'm waiting and waiting and waiting..... to finally see something funny. Just an ordinary interview to me. And surely there were much more funny moments some other times.
reminds me of the joke about jungle snooker - i wont go too far into but the punchline is - the elephant stuck his trunk up his 'arris and said - now youre snookered.
