[@81Mace81]

And we love 'em both now

[@Wah-f8c]

The two GOATS. Steve Davis and Stephen Hendry. O'Sullivan copied his game off these two greats. Safety. Technique. Aggressive style. Everything. The two GOATS 🐐🐐

[@Nancy13Mitten99]

Stephen Hendry is the GOAT & Steve Davis is the Godfather of snooker 🐐🏆🏳️‍🌈

[@agfi88]

Used to watch Hendry with my papa, He loved watching him dominate the 90's.

[@EliteGi]

I have no doubt they look at each other now and know in retrospect they are two of the most loved snooker players of all time. Not a sour grape to be seen, just pure quality, winning machines.

I love this Stephen Hendry. I was not a fan of his, in his playing days because he won everything, he was the best and he was like a robot and I have always been a Ronnie fan. Also, Stephens and Steves's commentary I could listen to every day.

[@lesjohnson7183]

Steve Davis was known as the "Romford Robot" as he was just methodical in how he played the game and beat opponents...

[@Super-lucky-7777]

He's a great guy my bro met him and serviced his Audi at Audi Preston years back just honest down to earth no bullshit

[@graemejack9040]

I think it's amazing that the two players considered the most dull and lacked personality during their playing careers are arguably two of the funniest, interesting personalities in the sport now!!! They have brilliant banter with one another!! The episode with them both a wee while back on Cue-tips was ridiculously entertaining!!

[@rogerharwood861]

Davis. How wise. What a great vid. Watching the both of you. My idols through the years. I have the ultimate respect for you both. Great class.

[@Juventinos]

Steve is so underrated it's ridiculous. He is so loved though. these 2 are amazing

[@sharpvidtube]

On the same level as Reardon, Hendry and O'Sulivan. He raised the bar and beat everyone in the 80s.

Steve is right, you should have entered. In normal show of Cue tips playing a person with no crowd, you are a different animal when being observed by a crowd. Would love to see you one day entering the arena again, the cheer I would imagine would be incredible. It's giving me goosebumps just thinking about it!

[@WorksopWhiskey]

I honestly want Allen to win this. I’ve played in tournaments with him from years n years ago and I’ve always said he’s the player I’d least like to draw early on. I love how great he’s become. He’s got it all

[@fuseblower8128]

Yeah, Allen definitely deserves a triple crown. Ding would be great too. Two players who still need the World to get into the exclusive Triple Crown Club.

[@xxSouth]

Couldn't think of a more boring final to watch if Allen was in it. Personality on and off the table of a brick wall.

[@captpicard100]

I love the fact that these 2 were trying to kick lumps out of each other in their prime but now they are actually great friends.

[@Glimiril]

These two ! Long have I admired them and because they got in the way of Jimmy White winning (my family Tooting , Micham, Streatham in London), I also despised them. I remember Steve's dominance, then this young Scot with blond hair at his crucible debut and thinking, damn. I was born a year later than Stephen and I never had the opportunity to play till 1988 when I was 18 and could with a credit card as ID get into a Snooker venue, My highest break is 136 and I missed black of the spot at the end (I still remember that more than the pats on the back I got), I even had in Northampton Barrats snooker , a certain Shaun Murphy ask me to play a game or two with him, but I was playing with a friend and that was important he didn't feel I went for a better match but had fun with him. That is the feeling I get here with Steve and Stephen, friends having competitive banter, two legends and greats of the game nothing to prove and that's what makes it so good. Bravo you two :)

[@petegage]

Watching this brilliant exchange an hour after Ronnie got beaten by Stuart Bingham. Bingham was unbeatable today. Ronnie was the star of the show for me though, on account of his flair and sudden burst of characterful responses to Bingham’s clinical execution of shots. But you too are brilliant together. I used to think Stephen was just a rather shy and moody youngster. But I loved his snooker though. Steve, yes Steve “interesting” Davis, I used to feel sorry for, because I thought he must be so boring. Nowadays though, I love you both . You have such a respect for eachother, which brings you together and makes you both so great to listen to together. Thanks for a great 26 minutes.
