Ben Foster Impresses Stephen Hendry With His Snooker Skills!

Ben Foster joined Stephen Hendry at Cue Tips HQ for a frame of snooker and a chat. They discussed The Cycling GK's love of snooker and playing for his local club side. The similarities between being a goalkeeper and a snooker player and getting the infamous hairdryer treatment from Sir Alex Ferguson.

Thanks for having me! Win or lose, just to see what the level is like up close and personal!!! WOW!! 🔥🔥👏👏

Ben, great video. Never knew you had a KZbin channel but have subscribed now. Did he give you those cue tips in the end?! Was looking forward to seeing them but they didn't happen

@thecyclinggk you look about the same standard as me, always bottle it after 3 reds and blacks🤣 who better to get tips from than SH!!

Hopefully you return the favour and get him on the podcast mate

[@unclejam2188]

This is exactly what we want. Different sports stars having banter and chat while potting some balls. Class content Stephen!

[@martinthesinger6137]

So nice to see a guy like Ben on this video... I was lucky enough to know him for a few years growing up, he never let fame/money change him. He is a family man and even when we went out in town for a night out, he would always take time for photos with fans and looked after his mates whenever possible. A true gentleman and his whole family are just genuinely nice people. Deserves everything that comes his way, nothing but love and respect for the guy 👌

Hendry played better in that practice than he has played in two years 😄

I used to live a mile from Lillington when he was at West Brom. Supported the Baggies all my life and had no idea he was so close.

[@jack8988]

Love seeing this 👌

[@mattstevenson5849]

One of the best series on KZbin, and it is a huge opportunity to make snooker accessible to a wider audience. The personalities are fantastic and Stephen gets the best out of them.

[@ErikTheCueist]

Ive never heard of Ben Foster before but he seems to be as big of a snooker fan as me so this is great to watch from a fans perspective. I love his enthusiasm

[@jackcotterill9156]

a part of english heritage

[@dom9707]

You don't know who Ben Foster is?

[@christopher_ecclestone]

@@dom9707 That's what never hearing of someone means.

[@metalswifty23]

@@dom9707 May shock you to hear this, but not everyone watches football, and some who do will only watch it casually, so would only know the big names. Ben Foster has never been a big name to casuals, aside from a handful of the people who only watch England play.

[@IrishBog]

I had no idea who he was

[@petegibson863]

Hi Stephen , I am originally from Nelson , NZ , and knew a guy , Mark , who was from Hull in Yorkshire . He used to tell me the yarn about when he returned to Hull for a working holiday , he visited his old snooker club that he used to play in , was having a knock about by himself , when this young kid , about 12 years old , came in and offered him a frame , winner take all , ten quid I think , Mark broke , quite happy with the result and before he knew it was 20 or 30 points in arrears ! Mark scored a few points but the inevitable end of the game came , he had lost , the young guy picked up the money , unscrewed his cue and packed it away in to the case and began to walk out the door , mark called out to him , you are a very good player for your age , just in case you become famous , what's your name , " Stephen Hendry " was the reply ! Don't know if there is any truth to this story , but I always enjoyed it . Thanks for the great vlogs .

[@1sf1]

Ben has always been an outsatnding goalkeeper but what this video shows is how much of a top bloke he is too. Superb as always Steven!

[@andykennedy2891]

Loving this channel.... Stephen is a natural at putting his guests at ease and doing a great job on the interviews. Awesome stuff.

[@memphisbulls1859]

is this Andy Kennedy Snooker table fitter???? if it is you should be putting a channel together to show how a proper table fitter goes about his job!

[@ericthekingthekingtheking4842]

Stephen is by far my favourite ex snooker person hes got a very infectious thing about him that makes you watch

[@efy5aru]

I love how he seems so close to his dad. We need to appreciate and cherish the moments we have with parents. Didn't know much about Ben but he seems like a gem of a guy...

[@pauldyetHH]

These videos just keep getting better. Mr Hendry is a natural in front of the camera, and a great teacher!! I can feel myself getting better at snooker just by watching!

[@huxxain9590]

Can't wait when you invite "break from life" guy

[@RobenArjen]

Stephen Hendry is natural talent, to start play snooker very late at 13 and then dominating snooker shows why he was the best

[@thenovicenoisemaker]

I grew up with Ben and his brothers. He played in my 4 a side football team and I played in league snooker with them too. Bens dad Terry is a massive Hendry fan so he’d be buzzing to see Ben here with Stephen

[@ellisbremridge9010]

His dad was there just behind the cameras

[@gatordontplaynoshit7]

Absolutely loved how Stephen allows Ben the chance by missing the green without him realising

[@NickDusting]

There's something very watchable about two decent blokes having a chat over a frame of snooker.

[@william89309]

Stephens one of the most naturally talented interviewers I’ve seen, he’s got it absolutely brilliant at it Love the videos mate

[@middleagedshred]

It,s crazy seeing Stephen hendry now joking and having a laugh after growing up watching him play in the 90,s very straight faced and serious.

[@MetteC5]

Ikr! Thanks to this channel, I'm getting to really appreciate Stephen and see that he's not as cold and arrogant as I thought (at least not anymore). Great to see!

[@akib2542]

This was amazing... Love Ben.. He's a premier league footballer but he's also just one of the lads.. Just a genuine guy..

[@learnenglishwithclyde1166]

Been watching Stephen since the beginning. Great to see his personality come out in these amazing videos. Could watch em all day. Keep it up, Legend!

[@ninja12lawbreaker]

I am a bike and car guy, but Stephens' chanell is my new favourite, what a gent and a fellow celt obviously. Terry Griffiths would always give us urchins a nod and a wave when he came home off the train from some tournament somewhere. Always been a snooker fan. Luckily in Burry Port we had a heavily subsidised club with 5 tables paid for in perpetuity by a fund from the coal miners 100+ years ago

[@daidavies90]

Probably sees himself as more of a Brit than a Celt to be fair

[@samshaw1443]

Never been a snooker fan but love Ben’s KZbin channel. There’s something very satisfying about having a snooker game going on during an interview and Stephen is fantastic at making conversation, great watch

[@garydowdall1578]

I never knew Stephen Hendry had a KZbin channel until now! An absolute legend of the game of snooker, used to love his finals/games against Ken Doherty.

[@garethwilliams2897]

That drive to win never leaves the best can see it even in this, two great lads 👍

[@iainamurray]

Love it. Watched a lot of Ben’s vids in lockdown and was interesting to hear the behind the scenes stuff. This was like that and better. The stories are what makes it.

[@drewrichardson6747]

This channel is amazing. Snooker has needed this for years.

[@ripmeep]

This is a great concept for videos. Really interesting, both seemed at ease with each other and really entertaining to watch. Love it! Keep it up man, great channel.

Some great comments by Ben Foster. Love this format - both asking questions and making entertaining informative statements about pro sport. Really great stuff. Thanks.

This is the best episode so far. Loving this man, congrats on getting the Channel up and running. Great idea.

[@Saltandvinegardiscos]

The crossover I never knew I needed, this was incredible

[@joshuavickers6360]

Half way through and I had to comment, an amazing comparison between a team and individual sport, but equally two greats appreciating each others accomplishments but also examining the amateur life so to speak of early day professionals, just shows how far each game/sport has come 👏🏻

[@nootsack]

Brilliant crossover between two of my favourite sports and two of the best representatives of their respective sports. Great vid as usual!
