I love the fact that Ronnie is finally getting ALL the Fame, Credits, Exposure and ALL the lovely comments and recognition from sportsman and pundits all over the world. This is what he deserves more than anybody. I still think he’s one of the greatest sportsman to ever live. 👏 ❤

[@madaboutsnooker147]

i would love the fact that Prime would respect the paying public and make it available to us all instead of all the territory crap!

[@waytothewill]

@@madaboutsnooker147 It is still not available in Germany. Simply ridiculous.

[@madaboutsnooker147]

many angry viewers here in Europe@@waytothewill

[@user-zl7vu6kp9h]

What you on about mate. He’s had the fame and never lost it since the 90s. What world you been living on. 😂😂😂😂😂

[@patchorley1140]

AND the coverage and interviews maximise the documentary and any books etc@@user-zl7vu6kp9h

[@Cyber277CDPR]

Wow, genuinely have to give credit to Ben Foster here, what an exceptional interview he conducted here. Some interesting questions off the cuff and really brought the best out of Ronnie. Well done to both

[@jonmoore873]

I think he has credibility that only comes with having been in a similar boat. England goalkeeper must be one if the loneliest places a football player can be. He’s also a genuine fan so shuts up and listens. It helps that he is a nice bloke too

[@salford6]

Maverick of snooker, absolute legend 🎱

[@topsecret6995]

I went to school with Ronnie and he honestly doesn't seemed to have changed that much - I'm pleased he's done well for himself and pleased he's found some inner peace

[@FlipAndLand]

Do you think your memory of him was good enough to recall what he was like at school because you kept hearing "Ronnie has done this, Ronnie has done that..." over the years. So you always kept up to date and remembered him? Or do you think you would have remembered him anyway? What I mean is, do you think you'd still remember him well if he hadn't become who he is today, just based on his character? Genuine question.

[@topsecret6995]

@@FlipAndLand he was definitely a character you wouldn't forget but he's on the TV all the time so hard to forget! I saw him when I was about 21 and he was already the champion and again he was the same guy hadn't changed much - so it's good to see him finding some sort of peace. Some funny and crazy times at school so no you don't forget!

[@Redemption660]

Omg I remember you from school too!! You were the boy that tossed off Brian Hammond on the residential Trip to slimbridge 😂

[@spanishpeaches2930]

​@@Redemption660Decent cue action ?

[@s2upac]

I also went to school with Ronnie or rondo as we used to call him he says you are talking out of your bum ❤

[@gavinblack450]

Sportsmen like Ronnie, Best, Ali and Federer are just different - they all seem to glide with such natural talent.

[@TranscendentalDentist]

Well said. Couldn't agree more. 👏👍

[@jordanwillrog]

TWO legends Thanks for video and thanks to the casting directors

[@sctmcg]

Well done to Amazon getting Ben involved - he's so down to earth - a natural host

[@murdoch691]

I started watching snooker at the age of seven and there was one player that captivated me his name Alex Higgins,then came along the whirlwind,and then a this man came along who I believe is a mixture of both those legends fearless, likeable and truly gifted I don't think snooker gets the recognition he deserves at the elite level especially if your a truly fans favourite, Ronnie is a true legend the most 147s the fastest 147 the most century breaks and let's not forget he lost his father for years,Ronnie is a force of nature and without the demons he faced would have double the the titles he has I have nothing but respect for his talent,he's a legend ❤

[@pure_awareness]

Started watching snooker because of Hendry and watched Ronnie from there, and from very early on commentators have been calling him the best ever even before the records and I can see why.

[@mickyeverton]

Massive Respect to Ronnie!! 🙏🙏🙏

[@dsimon123]

still waiting for doc to be released in USA. my fav sportsman.

[@cristiansandu7537]

When Stephen Hendry and Steve Davies are saying you are on a different level to anyone else...that is kind of special

[@JohnSmith-qg5dr]

Loved the documentary and really enjoyed this .Well done Lads .❤

[@LIVERNIL723]

I just think back to Semi Final Worlds 2020 during I think Covid and Mark Selby when Ronnie is REALLY up against it trailing and whilst in accendancy of a new frame and break, he's kinda forced to go for a Red that ends up in the Green Pocket and one of which is the Best Ever under the circumstances.

[@charlesscottkelly]

I thought he had done his nut in that match, but after watching a podcast a few months before the world championships that year, he said he would do something like that against Mark Selby if the match was getting away from him.

[@zapdoin]

it’s not often that someone gets to be in the presence of someone that is the best in the world at a sport. pure class.

[@Osafune2]

I wouldn’t say Ben Foster was ever that good

[@i.m1981]

Love ronnie, legend. Best of all time. But can tell his head causes him issues and overthinking about life and everything. Like me except im not a legend or good at anything. For him to have struggles and still grt where he got, is unbelievable.

[@WangPaste]

You'll have your own talent mate. You'll be the best at something. You just need to find what it is and You'll experience success of your own. Don't put yourself down lad. There's enough wan*ers out there who will try to do that for you.

As the song goes simply the best

[@eoinfun9033]

Would love to see ronnie and Magnus carlsen (7-time chess world champ) talk - seem like they’re at a similar point, being the best ever in their sport and having won everything there is. Would be class 👌🏻

[@larrycheek3588]

Two sides of the human coin

[@nigelwilson1957]

Ronnie is the best player Come On Ronnie keep up all your games all the best

[@javezkeith2537]

Amazing honesty in the documentary

[@farlo90]

Yep I'm in Australia and the same. Crazy.

[@Dave1507]

That clip with the guy and not caring about winning, you have to keep in mind that if Ronnie plays good (what he considers good, not just us mere mortals) he's practically unbeatable, so the winning takes care of itself.

[@karlkelton]

Terrific video. You can tell he's a pretty humble & self effacing guy. Given he's friends with Ronnie wood, I'd be curious as to Ronnie's musical tastes, what genres he really loves and who his favorite musicians/bands are?

[@dantrinder3300]

Quality interview Ben 👊👊

[@nagel1968]

The Grand master of snooker...i love to spend a day with him to learn and practice with him...

where can we watch ronnies new documentary

[@michaeljohnson5365]

Ronnie as admitted he should have won 12 World Titles

[@johnp515]

I love Ronnie but tbh that’s a claim, not an admission

[@wispa1a]

Spoiler alert. He doesn't retire and wins another championship.

Debatable, I'd say better than everyone, Bar Jo Davis .I can't see anyone bettering him in my lifetime, so I'd say gomt greatest of my time or goot greatest of our time.

​@@stephenzaccardelli5863😂😂😂😂😂Tell yourself whatever you like. Everyone knows that the Rocket is the undisputed GOAT. 🎉

@SnookerFan-kl1jj undisputed is invalid it's not boxing, although it used to be that way in jo Davis's day

[@frasemci]

Ronnie is a top bloke and Ben's not far behind with his interviews.

[@michaeljohnson5365]

Ronnie picks and chooses when he wins matches

[@ashku27]

Did Ben used to play football? He didn't mention it.

[@zaidnaveed9042]

He did said it at the start

[@BenSmith-ss6gg]

Ronnie is as good at snooker as the greatest sportsman in history are at their respective sports. Jordan, Woods, Federer, Messi etc. He's on par with all of them. It's just snooker isn't anywhere near as glamorous and doesn't get the attention.

[@david.5273]

Best play ever? Yes it was when you saw Hendry.

[@dmndgdl]

Is it a sport, or a game?

[@rcmakingtracks18]

A rocket passing stars...

[@javison_4]

111 mill in 2 hours from playing snooker? what is the context behind that chat?

[@ianwilson2007]

Damien Hirst was auctioning some art at Sotherbys but didn't want to be there, so he and Ronnie went to play snooker and Damien's mate kept phoning him telling him what pieces were selling for.

[@grsl4026]

I was really disappointed by that documentary, he’s so up his own behind, I really wanted him to be more humble, can anyone tell me any different if I watch it all the way tbrough. I turned it off after 10 mins

[@mattford9044]

Beckham or Jimmy's hair?

[@eurfrynlfc6686]

If Ronnie ain’t on the telly advertising M&S scones by new year, someone at M&S marketing needs to be fired.

[@pelcenglishcourses1841]

He was the best but he's losing it, which is inevitable. Still, I wouldn't put it past him to win the World Championships in April.
