I’ve never seen Ronnie so relaxed. Being surrounded by these lads who he respects, and feels that professional affinity with, really enabled him to open up with confidence. This long form type of sports interview, with four interviewers who are all capable, and a host in Neville who is so effortlessly in control, is really next level. Absolutely excellent content, lads 👌🏼

Such a brilliant crossover this, I love Ronnie and how real he is, and he seems super relaxed with the lads. Really enjoyed this, cheers!

When Wrighty says about Ronnie being on, you're sucked in and drawn to watching him it speaks to what Ronnie said himself earlier on about highlights. Snooker can be fascinating to watch but can sometimes be a bit of a chore. Ronnie is like a highlight reel on his own, there's almost a guarantee of seeing something special whenever you watch his matches

Wasn’t mentioned in documentary or here but his greatest achievement for me was when he took a year out - came back to world championship in 2013 and won it. Legend.

Ronnie is to snooker what Ali was to boxing. I really fear for the game when Ronnie eventually retires. Watching snooker when he's playing is a total joy, and unfortunately for the game, there is no other player who generates the same interest in watching the game as Ronnie. He is - in my opinion - the greatest ever to play the game.

[@sirdiddymus9963]

Couldn't agree more, both athletes brought so many new fans to their sports with their incredible ability. Snooker, though, hasn't the same natural excitement & brutality that boxing has. Ali's absence created a big hole but there will always be excitement in boxing due to ko's & unpredictability. Snooker will always have the hard-core fans but Ronny brought fans outside of the hard-core fanbase. His style was so exciting people couldn't help but be drawn in. His absence will be sorely felt but like Sugar Ray Leonard after Ali maybe a new talent will emerge.

[@hastyhalfwit6637]
