Hazel Irvine along with Ken Doherty and Stephen Hendry at the interval between Bingham and Jones on day 14. Steve Davis as a DJ and Stephen Hendry winning World title number 7.
Surely it's time Steve Davis was knighted. An outstanding player and snooker could not have a better ambassador. He was the king of snooker in the glory years, I hope he gets knighted and the sooner the better.
Stephen Hendry, was different gravy and changed the way snooker was played.. and I admire how he looks up to Ronnie and respects him so much 🙏🙏
decent bloke is Steve 👍
Davis is such a class act. Great champion. Raised the game ten notches in his time. Hendry took the baton and himself then raised the game again even further.
The lady in the red hair looks like a cartoon character from Scooby Doo
Daphne...
I was thinking more of the woman from mars attacks from the white house when she turns out to be a Martian.
A member from the band b52!
Another diversity hire that knows absolutely nothing about snooker.
She's like some sort of Philomena Cunk-esque fake person. A trashfashion store manequin from the 1970s.
The Hendry v Ronnie Semi in 99 was savage standard 1 visit Snooker, long potting and century match.
Who is Ronnie Semi? 😂
With huge pockets
Doesnt mean was huge pockets ffs @SRoqua
@@SRoqua1999 when were you born the pockets were the same
My favorite match of all time in terms of the standard of play by both players
Stephen Hendry will always be the greatest in my eyes, he schooled the class of 92 for 10yrs, he also oozes class on and off the table.
he didnt school them tho, and they were teenagers.
@@SuperChalksterLet me guess. You're English and a Ronnie fan. Am I right?
@@SuperChalksterHe really really did
@@SuperChalksterdidn't Ronnie beat hendry when he was 17 in UK final
@@MikeBarratt-lk3gtIn both 93 and 97. 😆
Hendry - absolute domination and ten times the class and professionalism as you know who.
Great Stuff Steve.
My hero Growing up Stephen hendry. Invented the modern game long red straight into the pack clear up. The uk final v Ken it’s the greatest level of snooker ever produced on live tv. The man gets forgotten Because of the genius of Ronnie. For me Stephen is a genius too for inventing the modern game. Still clearly by a mile the 2nd best to ever do it regardless of what modern players say
Modern players say the same.
Hendry scored 7 tons in a first to 10 final including 6 tons in 8 frames. The only performance to match that is Trump when he beat Higgins to win the world championship
@@Revolver1981 Video they did the other day majority them picked John higgins as two ahead Stephen did world snooker
Absolutely incredible and so matter of fact. Legend
Steves are great to watch.
Stephen Hendry, true one great play
Hendry was unplayable at Sheffield from 1992 to 1996 - every year it was not a case of ‘who will win?’ but ‘who is Hendry going to beat in the final?’ Utter domination
To be fair Jimmy should have beaten him in two finals
@@jimmyk9523 Old Jimmy White bottled it no doubt. But Hendry should've won an 8th World title in 2002 when he choked missing a pink off the spot in the final frame decider against Peter Ebdon.
Hendry a legend
STEPHEN HENDRY THE BEST
Steve Davis is a legend ,hendry is the greatest ronnie is a bully .
Wow, that is one snazzy shirt Hazel!
abi looking fab!
The greatest comeback in sports history if stephen lost all the weight, got in killer shape, had the killer mindset and came back to the crucible to win the 8th. Would be phenomenal
Nah impossible. He's lost it
@@slayer5097 look at this years final. Who would have thought not one of the top players made it to the final. Anythings possible. Snooker has evolved and is definitely more tactical, but even the top players are missing really easy shots. Anything is possible based on the standard this year.
@@uk5g262 He probably wouldn't have won a frame if he could have been bothered to rock up at the qualifiers.
25 years ago! I remember watching it, I was only 9 years old! Time flies guys.
Thanks for preserving this! Do you have the piece about moving away from the Crucible that they played during the very last mid-session interval?
It's uploaded now kzhead.info/sun/nqZ6qL1shGN7eX0/bejne.html
Hendry was just so dominant. That's what sets him apart from other players, for me. Even with O'Sullivan, Higgins, Doherty, Williams and lots of other great players in those days, you always felt that Hendry would beat them all. Even O'Sullivan never managed that level of dominance.
Ronnie is the GOAT but man what a player Hendry was - he swept Davis aside like he wasn't even there. Hendry oversaw the greatest improvement standard era in pro snooker for me.
The GOAT 🐐
Stephen Hendry is a cool Guy so is Steve Davis. Hazel needs Thanks as she is also a Legend
steve davis is actually a very good dj,he has skills and knowledge,not just some celeb spinning records,he knows his subject .i was a pro dj for years,i know.pity my snooker skills arent as good as my dj ing,steve spacerock davis
He promoted weirdo prog legends Magma in the '80s and loves all kinds of stuff. There's footage of him from that era at home mixing on his twin decks.
@@patrickcrowther9195 hes a big gong fan
I loved Davis growing up. I like his personality too and think he"s always conducted himself well. Stephen was a bit miserable when he was winning everything, but no doubt a phenomenal player. Ronnie is the greatest for me,but personality wise i feel Davis and Hendry's more level headed composure made them practice harder and represent the sport with a higher level of decorum than Ronnie who i find a bit wayward. Hendry is more easy-going since his retirement i feel,so i've warmed to him more in his later years.
People talking about it being different era, in the comments of a video showing Hendry beating Ronnie and Mark Williams in the semifinal and final. 😂Higgins was the other semifinalist. It was a different era. There are more good players further down the rankings now, but these 4 were better then than anyone was this season and he still won.
Stephen Hendry was so good to watch throughout the nineties,he was an attacking animal and great break builder,not so good at safety play unlike Ronnie O’Sullivan who is the most complete player ever in the history of the game.
John Higgins is possibly the most complete player.
@@Revolver1981Didn’t get chance to collect his big cheque for throwing games before he got busted though. So perhaps he hasn’t covered all the bases, yet.
@@nedseagoon5101 He was threatened by mob style gangsters lol. He was frightened and he didn't throw any matches anyway, he discussed it. That was many years ago, let it go lol.
@@Revolver1981 Boom! As expected…
This wasn’t a prime Hendry but he still beat hunter, Steven’s, Ronnie and Williams to win on his way to winning 7 world titles.
Until Ron has won a 8th hendry is the goat
Even if ronnie wins 8th, hendry will always be the King of crucible.
Wow Hendry has 7 World titles? I have never heard him mention that before..
Ronnie has the longevity , but what Hendry did in 10 years it took Ronnie 20. His mentality was bulletproof. Life on the line im choosing hendry
People keep saying how high the standard has become, and while this might be true overall, I think that the years from 97 to 04 or so will always have the best top level snooker we'll ever see, with Hendry still going strong, the Class of 92 winning their first world titles, tough competitors like Doherty and Ebdon in their prime, Hunter and Stevens gunning in their early 20s... good times!
That level of dominance over a 10 year period will probably never be seen again.
Stephen Hendry has morphed into one of my favourite youtubers, a farter called Sons of Arkham.
Kid, let's see you beat Steve Davis when there's money on the table. 😂
Hendry won 7 championships in 10 years. Ronnie won 7 championships in 30 years mate
Hendry and Ronnie are both goats
There will always be the debate about whether Hendry or O'Sullivan is the greatest. It depends on people's view of what makes someone the best. Hendry dominated in the 90s, winning 7 World titles in a short space of time. You could argue that Ronnie is better, as he's been near his top form for 25 years, also winning 7 titles during that period. People will have their own views about whether winning so much in a short time is better than someone who takes 20 years to achieve the same. It's good that they both respect each other now.
@@kwilson5832 It's all about opinions, but for me it has to be Ronnie. Hendry was dominant in the 90s but it was mainly White who was his main rival back then and Parrott to a lesser extent. Davis was past his best although he was still a quality player in the early 90s. Ronnie has won the Worlds in 3 different decades although personally I don't think he'll win it again to get to no 8.
@@user-fm2mv4zv7ewhatever your opinion on who’s better, this is nonsense. I very much doubt that you were watching then if you can say this. The world rankings at the start of the 96-97 season was already Hendry, Higgins, Doherty, Williams. In this actual video it shows him beating Ronnie in the SF and Mark Williams in the 1999 final. Higgins was the other semifinalist.
@@demetrimanasses6240 If you read my reply properly and thought before answering then you would see Hendry won 5 World titles between 90-95. This was the period when it was Hendry v White. I'm not going into detail as to who I am but trust me I saw a lot of snooker and played to a good standard.
steve should become a twitch streamer
Let’s hope Ronnie can make 8. Would be icing on the cake for such a career and amazing longevity. 😍
And now Hearn is gonna kill snooker
Hello everyone I am loving the world championship it is a Shame Ronnie O'Sullivan is out but he well be back to clam jis 8th World Title I am sure I think Karen Wilson will when it my heart chakra says Karen Wilson will when it from the start but my head and belly emotion I am loving it tho I love snooker xx
STEPHEN LEE
Steve was magnificent, Stephen though moved the game forward by opening the bunch up when potting reds - potting one then bouncing off the bunch to still be on the black. Previously the bunch was opened when potting the colour, leaving much more to chance. Stephen also potted his way out of trouble when apparently in a safe position time and time again. For me it's Stephen, not O'Sullivan, who's the GOAT.
He's smart for staying out of the snooker scene and by doing this, his Champ image always stay in our hearts. Unlike someone of his time, of course.
1:43 - Her tone of voice made it sound like the kid had taken a dump on the table or something.
Were ali carter said alex higgins would have no chancs againt todays players On paper no,,, but paper you cannot compare on 40 /50 years ago the world has changed massively things have evolved social media More style Different world completely Who knows if alex was born 20 years ago he wouldnt be the best now in today’s world
Put any player from that generation in todays game as a teenager and they would still rise to the top. Reardon, Davis and Hendry got as good as they needed to be to dominate the sport in their era.
In my opinion, Davis no longer loves the game. You can still hear the love in Hendry's voice. Neither owns anything to the game, so do what makes you happy gentlemen!
The praise of the crucible is a bit obvious this year isn't it?
They’re obviously trying to get the public behind them to convince that shyster Hearn to keep it there. Hearn will do whatever suits him regardless.
@@nedseagoon5101 I'll go further and call Hearn a shitehawk.
cant lie, that presenter dressed in 60s attire and the beehive haircut is my perfect girl, 60s era music and fashion is number 1. I get laughed at wearing beatles shoes and grandad blazers but im arsed. Plus that welsh accent. Sexy as foooooook as we say politely in Belfast!
Lets hope she doesn't do 60s food only.
Absolute beehive hairdo!
The red head chick is the type of british person ..us in ireland wouldnt mind illegally emigrating over to here 😂😂😂😂
She's Scottish.
@@Revolver1981 She's welsh, clue is in the name Abigail Davies
@@jimmyk9523 Yeah I should've watched the video again, I thought he was talking about Hazel.😂
Hearn is going to ruin snooker
Just shows the level Steve is operating at nowadays… gets beaten by literally any man woman or child on the street
BOTH WONT STAND A CHANCE TODAY
o sullivan would not have stood a chance against these two in their heyday.
@@user-rc2xt1gt7b Hendry schooled the class of 92 for ten years, I know this, because I actually watched it.
Two comments taking opposite positions and both wrong. That's actually impressive!
@user-rc2xt1gt7b ronnie at 17 beat hendry in the UK final in 93... I think he'd be fine aha
@@FlameFlickersWhat’s the right answer then ? For me Steve wouldn’t stand chance today with his game. Hendrys best game is the still the best level to ever play the game. The uk final against Ken no one can play to that level not even Ronnie.
Grandma, please retire.
nah, everyone loves hazel
BBC coverage gone way downhill,, I won't be viewing the final
