Snooker Legends Battle Toughest Challenge!

[@chickenhotsoup]

I think Tony Drago's attempt was the most amazing tough table challenge I've seen so far. The speed at which he was playing while keeping such a good cue ball, just brilliant!

[@tomk5066]

He made it look as though he was playing on a pool table with how effortless it was

[@colinmagnier1232]

was nice to watch wasn't it

[@JeatBunkie]

It’s beautiful to watch. I sort of wonder if he could pot as well if you asked him to play slow. I’m guessing the speed helps him not overthink or over adjust, he just gets down and hits it with pure feel

[@ISOLATICN1]

less than 2 mins to make a break of 70 unreal talent

[@rsb8380]

@@JeatBunkie Think it’s similar to what Ronnie said about his famous 147. He just kept potting as fast as he could so he didn’t think too much and screw it up.

One if my favourite memories of Tony Drago was when David Vine was commentating between frames at The Crucible with a practise table behind him... "well we've had a 147 here!" ... and there was a young smiling Tony Drago racking the next practise frame up with a big smile!

Tony Drago - still entertaining us with his mesmerising style of snooker. What a joy to watch!!

Wathcing Tony Drago play is such a joy. I would say even better than most of the top profesional players at the moment. Just pure natural talent . Especially in instinctively knowing the angles.

Tony still lets emotions impact on his competitive game, which can be his undoing at times. When the pressure is off he flows and pots as well as he ever did. Also one of the most versatile cue sports players. Great on a snooker table, 9’ and 6’ pool table. Glad we got to see him on the tough table challenge.

I love and admire how Tony has not changed his style of play. Jimmy looks like he's fishing when he plays now. He's so slow and cautious. First saw Tony play in an exhibition at the crucible. He played one frame against Ray Reardon in 1985 after Ray had beaten Parrott in the last 8. Unfortunately for Tony, Ray made a total clearance.

[@PaulHughes-m4s]

Also Ronnie's RECORD of 8 UK 8 Masters 23 Majors. Youngest ranking event winner at 17 beating Hendry at UKC final will never broken.. All 23 Majors won against better com in the hardest era in snooker history. Only two players Ronnie & John to win world titles in 3 different decades. That's class. Something Hendry can only dream of achieving.

[@PaulHughes-m4s]

@stu2333 Hendrysimp boys cant handle that Ronnie beat Hendry 9-4 in finals and leads Hendry kunt 30-21 H2H. its not my fault that it upsets them. Now come tell me he was not in his prime bla bla. Ronnie was pumping big baby Hendry in major finals as a 17YO . Everyone knows Ronnie is the GOAT then Mark Selby 2nd greatest player of all time. Selby like Ronnie owns bigmouth Hendry H2H and in finals. The Great Ali Carter owns little bigmouth Hendry 9-4 H2H. LOOL Ding owns bigmouth baby Hendry 1-0 in finals and 10-4 H2H LOOL Mathew Stevens owns little Hendry 2.0 in finals and 17-14 H2H LOOL Maguire owns bigmouth baby Hendry 7-1 H2H and pummeled Hendry 13-2 at the Crucible LOOOL Marcus Campbell made overrated Hendry spit out his dummy by WHITEWASHING Hendry 9-0 And Ronnie owns Hendry 9-4 in finals and 30-21 H2H! The list goes on and on. Hendry is one of the most overrated players ever who would have not won 1 World title had he turned pro in 2000. Ronnie O'Sullivan on his 49th birthday still World No 5, and the greatest player of all time GOAT Truth hurts 👍

[@elmondo-j3o]

@stu2333 You're just plain wrong, that's all. Ronnie is the King, there isn't anyone else. It's OK to be wrong, but to keep willfully being wrong is quite odd. So no matter what you write or think, Ronnie is the GOAT. It will never change no matter what kind of nonsense you write on the internet it means nothing. The only thing that matters is the FACT that Ronnie O'Sullivan is the GOAT 😊👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

It's such a shame when Tony Knowles goes into one of these spells of not playing very much - because when he gets the love back for the game, he shows (every single time) that he's still a phenomenal snooker player. If he applied himself like he did a few years ago, he could easily do the same as Fred Davis - that's the quality he still has, when he's practising regularly and playing regularly.
