The best interviews allow the guests to do the talking.
I know Simon doesn't really like the sound of his own voice.
Hendry was just ruthless
The guy interviewing looks like Ricky Gervais's psychiatrist in After Life
Hopefully Simon sees the comments; some good feed back indeed. Ask the question, then listen to the answer.
Stephen’s Hendry was fit for purpose and had the courage of his convictions and beyond that he had priced it into his thinking but what has that got to with the price of cheese
Hendry.
I've seen frames run on for less than that sentence 😂
Ronnie
Jesus let him finish what he’s saying!!! Loves the sound of his own voice ol Simon
Said it on this when originally posted and have said it on every single 1 to 1 he has done....he asks a minute long question, gives guest 5 secs if lucky to try start speaking and then boom, next 1 minute question...... he also loves to fill in words for guests as they thinking etc 😆
Most people with a podcast do this, otherwise they wouldn't have one. It's a narcissists medium.
Wish Simon, would give the interviewee some space to answer, and not keep (yeah yeah, right etc etc) and commenting or butting it, its not about you like on Talksport where you are there for opinions and views. - just relax, give them space, they will speak if comfortable and allowed to do so... let them storey tell..
Well the interviewer thinks his views are more important than the interviewee. Full of himself.
At his peak he was unbeatable. If my life depended on a snooker player having to pot an awkward ball in order to save my life, 1990s Hendry would be the one I’d choose. The man was a potting machine. He took snooker to a different level. Ronnie has obviously taken it further but a 90s Hendry was unplayable and had no visible weaknesses whereas Ronnie had plenty and still has a few. Hendry’s mental toughness was as good as his snooker ability.
He was different class.
yeah, you know what? no and no. dont give me this hendry lost it at 30 or 32 nonsense. ros, williams and higgins were all better players than hendry, even though none of them dominated like he did. hendry did what he had to do and he did it, no one can take that away from him. but he had no longevity for a reason and that's because he got passed by
@@mavenofmacau6391no Hendry got burned out, dominated for too long and when he reached 7 worlds he was done. He beat Williams and Higgins at the crucible.
@@LethalMartialArtist yeah bro. he was burned out for 10 years. i don't think that's how burn out works. found out maybe, but not burned out.
@@mavenofmacau6391Hendry dominated like no one else. He was also the youngest to win the WC. Ronnie has only won 2 WC’s in a row. That will tell you how good Hendry was. People forget Ronnie is only 7 years younger than Ronnie but still couldn’t touch him in the WC at his peak. As Steve Davis said, ‘Ronnie greatest player, Hendry greatest winner.’
When you really listen to these proven champions you understand what separates them from the rest. I remember an interview Pete Sampras gave many years ago, he certainly wasn't out there to be a pal to anyone, he was there to 'kick ass'. Enough said.
Steve Davis was the first, it's the mentality of champions. If you can meet with triumph and disaster, and treat both those imposters the same. You'll be a man my son.
The only player that never shows anger or upset at another player as he truly believe if he plays the way he wants to, not even Sullivan can stop him. N I agree
Waffle. Have you seen some of his post match interviews? Marcus Campbell for example. The opposite of gracious!
Hendry is not on Ronnie's level. All the BS about in his prime he was unplayable bla bla bla. Ronnie two two near ones for Hendry where the sun don't shne at the WSC SF 17-4 & 17-6, leads him 9-4 in finals. RONNIE O'SULLIVAN the UNDISPUTED GOAT 🐐
@@jlatirl4316 When Marcus WHITEWASHED Hendry 9-0. Post match interview & with the Guardian he called Marcus an also ran and Journeyman . Most arrogant twat that lied about yips because he was done by 30. It was the risen standards. The guy is phony.
zen like,be humble in victory and defeat.football fans are like up and down like yo yos,no balance.and when their team isnt doing well,and look for players/managers/coaches etc as scapegoats.no stoicism
This will be good!!!
Yeah it was.....about 2-3 months ago when it was released
The worda off a champion
What a winner
Let Stephen Hendry speak...
Absolutely correct to not be friends with your opponent, otherwise, how can you expect to want to beat them?
Correct that Higgins transformed snooker. 8:20
Jordans dress sense is hilarious.ASDA chic 🤣
I don’t understand why he packed it in
Hendry can still play to a decent standard but not strong enough to be a winner anymore. He's old and his game abandoned him it's a sad story but nothing will change what he's accomplished in snooker and he still loves the game and is a commentator he has not totally abandoned it he plays now and then aswell. His legacy lives on with what he's achieved in the game nothing can change what he's achieved that's set in cement so to speak that's done and dusted so he's more than allowed to still play, win or lose it doesn't matter he's done his bit in snooker he has nothing to prove so he plays for fun that's a good thing kind of and if it leads anywhere fair enough if not it doesn't.
Played pool with Hendry’s grandad a few times while on my lunch break at work! Enjoying a couple of pints with him chewing the fat having a couple of frames! He was great bloke shame he was ostracised from the family!
Hendrys off selbys Xmas card list
Selby far better than Hendry
@@Glasschin-ot9ei really? Explain?
@@daboss3116 Selby owns Hendry head to head etc. Plays to a higher standard than Hendry.
@@Glasschin-ot9ei selby entered the main scene when hendry was finished. Either with age or the so called yips. I’m not denying selby isn’t one of the great players but he is absolutely no where near Hendrys level. No where near. And I’ve religiously watched snooker since the 80s and played snooker since the 90s.
@@Glasschin-ot9eiMeans nothing, Selby was hardly even playing in Hendrys peak era. And WC’s is where it counts 7 to 4.
Stephen putting Ronnie in his place with the 147 in the final frame, after Ronnie came back from 7 or 8-1 behind. Pure Class. They're all lucky Stephen's cue got snapped, or he'd have 10 or 11 World titles. Losing to Ken and Peter were shocking defeats. As for this 92 mob, they all played for 7 years in the 90s and Stephen battered them all at the crucible. 9 finals, 7 victories. Oh and won it with a broken arm, anaw. Ronnie had about 2 world titles when Stephen retired.
Doherty was a decent player. He was 2nd in many finals he should have won. As for the Ebdon, I can’t figure that one out.
You don’t play period.
Hard to find the bits where Stephen was actually allowed to speak. Interviewer is so full of himself.
Full of himself haha Because its SIMON. He loves to hear his own voice but i like him haha
Ask Jordon what he thinks of his Arsenal vs Villa prediction on talkshite last weekend the sausage.
What's more funny about Simon - his sunburned face or his ostentatious wedding ring?
White should of won at least 2 worlds far more natural player in 80s
stephen hendry explains how he dominated the dregs steve davis whipped for a decade before the deficiencies of his overall game exposed him to the class of 92
He had the carisma of a mop ,,,great player but what a miserable sod ,would made a great undertaker 😮
he's coming off quite charismatic in his new youtube career
Up his own! The only reason he won was because he was the only one half decent but not fantastic. Everyone else was pretty much terrible. See some of the finals with Jimmy white and Jimmy has a TERRIBLE cue action. He stabs the ball and doesn’t have good technique or control.
Nonsense. Hendry beat everyone at his peak, Higgins, Ronnie, Williams etc. For nearly 10 years at the crucible. People these days haven’t a clue how much of a ruthless winner he was.
Who is Stephen Henry?
Possibly the second best snooker player in history
Hendry
@@Vengeance1978behind who?
@@peternagy-im4bethe rocket! Baby
Someone with more ability than you'll ever have, millions of people know who Stephen Hendry is, but literally NO ONE knows who you are.
SJ said you were number one in the sport for 8 years The sport 😂 I love snooker but it AINT NO SPORT
Clown comment
It sure is.
Daft sod.
so tennis isn't a sport as well , it's mainly huffing and puffing and the girls moan like adult-X-rated starlets .
It’s categorised as a sport, like it or not.
Interviewer is an absolute narcissist.
That’s why he is the best
@@FOOTBALLTHICKO😅😅😅

Bullshit. Ronnie was so good, he won most of his titles, post Hendry. Stephen is still the youngest champion. And it took Ronnie 30 years to win 7.
@@aussie5941 Bullshit. How exactly did Hendry win in 10 years ? Lets remember the standard he had to play back when he won so many titles the only real competitors he had was Davis and White. Ronnie won most of his titles with a much stronger field with so many top players that can win it any day just to name a few , Trump, Higgins, Selby, Williams, Robertson, Allen, Murphy the list goes on and on. So in conclusion he was a great player for the opponents he had to face, did he have any of the type of opponents I mentioned he would definitely not have won much or ANY.
@@aussie5941 Ronnie had to wait till has beenn Hendry retires? LMFAO When Ronnie was pummeling Hendry in finals as a 17 year old... @UKC 1993 Finals. Must be clueless nancylad! Ronnie owns Hendry 9-4 in finals, and tore new ones for Hendry at the WSC SF 2004/8 ...17-4 and 17-6, and won World title both those years. . So many players who came on the snooker scene like Selby , Ding etc etc were pummeling Hendry with winning records over Hendry. He was lucky to have played when he did. Its different gray now and why Hendry is the goat of good fortune, that couldn't handle the rising standards and emerging new talent Ronnie O'Sullivan is the GOAT 🐐
@@aussie5941 Is Hendry yapimp who was washed up by 30 the most overrated sportsman of all time? A: Yes!
@@CaseyJones-le1mh how many fake accounts do you use to spam snooker vids? 25?
awful interviewer, more interested in hearing himself talk than listening to one of the greatest sportsmen in history. embarrassing
