Stephen Hendry's ULTIMATE Tour Of The Crucible!

Who better to show you around every single area of The Crucible than Stephen? World Snooker allowed Cue Tips cameras an access all areas pass to tour Snooker's most famous venue and we took full advantage. Stephen zipped around The Crucible with microphone in hand, telling stories of his memories there and interviewing people along the way, including John Parrott and Rob Walker. The Cue Tips team also spoke to the fans in the streets of Sheffield and World Championships final referee, Brendan Moore, who is taking charge of his final-ever snooker match. This really is the only guide you'll ever need to The Crucible! So stick this on between the final sessions and enjoy!

King of the Crucible! 29 matches unbeaten run, most centuries in a single tournament(16)and the highest win rate there. Legend.

[@toziassmitt]

Ronnie is better

[@roadtosnookerfinals-te4je]

@@toziassmitt Ronnie is better by Hendry by miles...He leads Hendry in finals and overrall..If you look at their match ups..9-4 in finals to Ronnie ,and 30-21..Hendry wins were by slim margins..When Ronnie won most times against Hendry,he hammered him with huge margins.Ronnie at his best far better than hendry at his best!

[@sharpvidtube]

@@toziassmitt Ronnie couldn't win 5 in a row.

[@sharpvidtube]

And still the youngest ever winner, thought Si might take that this year.

[@sharpvidtube]

@@roadtosnookerfinals-te4je 1999 was the closest to Stephen's peak, he beat Ronnie 17-13 in the semi-final.

[@Darts4544r4]

Stephen is that much of a legend of the Crucible, he surely must have his own set of keys !!

[@theallseeingmaster]

Shh! No one is supposed to know that!

[@user-mc5ve7ju7c]

Utter BS..The most overrated player of all time that was lucky playing in a weaker era!~

[@martinlaird9712]

@James Woods where are your 777 centuries? There are so many weird cunts on this comment section. Who actually cares. Stephen Hendry was great in his day, Ronnie is great they have both given their life to the game of snooker. Ronnie is the best ever, in my opinion, but shooting down hendry is childish. Hope you enjoy your 11th birthday party. Enjoy the pubes and under arm hair. One day it starts growing out your nose.

[@Nostalgicus]

😅😅

[@electrocruiser]

​​@@user-mc5ve7ju7c 😂😂😂brilliant so all those maximums and centuries were because he had weak opponents.... can i have some of what your having

[@jasonlaverty6074]

Are you gonna keep the videos coming during the off season Stephen ? These are my Sunday afternoon favourite things 👌👌👌

[@AGxAG]

When does the season start again mate ?

You are the master❤

[@BoleroTrio]

1:36 Where's the John Virgo goin'?! Thank you for the incredible videos, Stephen!!!!!!

[@skh73]

JV is such a great commentator. He injects so much passion into his commentary. More he ages the better his voice. Same goes for Dennis T. Great to see that’s there’s life after retiring from snooker. Hendry is heading exactly the same way. Keep up the great work.

[@oldschool8330]

@@MrSifter that’s a terrible decision

[@TheMegsie1]

I think you may have sold me songs, when I was just sixteeeeen!

[@CompleteCretin]

@@MrSifter It was the case but thankfully it has been reversed so they will be around for a while :)

[@andreritter3828]

JV needs to pack it up. His inane/insane ramblings are too much.

[@Jenks1888]

JV and Stephen together are great to listen to, Dennis Taylor and Ken Doherty on the other hand send me to sleep!, also John Parrott doesn't add anything always just pointing out the obvious and his attempts at humour are really cringy!

[@chrisevans4123]

The Mecca of snooker the crucible theatre Sheffield.......where tears of elation and pain are etched in its legendary history, ....the drama , the excitement , the pain and the ecstasy from all the great players that have graced this sacred coliseum of snooker

[@sharpvidtube]

Stephen and JV are my favourite commentators. Love Rob Walker, he was great every time I went to the Crucible, gets the crowd into it before the match starts. I remember him introducing Brendan Moore for his first ever match at the Crucible, thought he was a good ref from the first time I saw him. Will be sad to see him go.

[@Yiyan81]

Interview and a frame with the ref soon please🙏 I want to hear how he felt reffing his last world championship final and witnessing a 147 😍

[@williamstdog9]

I loved seeing AND hearing Virgo & Stephen in the booth! ☺️ After hearing them for so many years it’s so cool to watch them talking for a few seconds during a match 👏👏 Also, sticking a mic in Walker’s face was very deserving .. 😅 he works hard sure, but I’ve often thought that he isn’t as cognizant as Hazel or others when interviewing the losers .. he has too big a smile on his face and it’s not appropriate in those situations. Anyways great tour in the great building!! 👍

[@inthedarknxss969]

If u stop making videos I will be heartbroken, truly a pleasure to watch.

[@NM-hq1io]

Stephens hilarious, he’s tired of watching boring safety play - must be beaming with how Luca is playing, the right way!

[@MichaeI734]

Been a great year, the 147 last night was memorable. Hoping to go to the crucible next year!

[@InterMalager]

10:38 Ive only been to the Crucible once back in 2008, I was in the front row on table 1 watching Ronnie in the first round against a young Chinese lad, and I gotta admit, Rob Walkers opening presentation actually gave me chills and made me really feel like I was part of something! his enthusiasm is top notch

[@JamesSnookerNation]

Love Rob! Always gets the crowd going

[@DanceySteveYNWA]

Liu Chuang was the Chinese player

[@sarfarazahmed3113]

Ste hendry King of snooker in his prime 90's. Best view of crucible ever, thanks.

[@RobCharles1981]

Really enjoyed that Stephen! :-)

[@tonynaccarato4751]

Stephen is a natural, everything he has done after his snooker career, he is exceptional, Stephen would have been a huge success in any endevour he chose.

[@neilduignan9835]

It’s an incredible theatre and Sheffield is a beautiful city. I’ve been every year since 2002 and it’s as exciting now as it was 21 years ago. 😎

[@bluetics9496]

Brilliant watching JV working his magic

[@jayjayb89]

John virgo is the goat of commentary

[@mrkolasa.]

Brilliant can't wait for this Stephen. 7 times what a Legend

[@wispa1a]

Love JVs enthusiasm on a white going down or fluke hitting.

[@JC0023]

This was amazing Stephen. I've always wanted to know what's it like. Where do I get Ur ideas from. BBC and Eurosport need u in charge....u give the fans what they want....impressed how u know better than TV bosses what people Wana see!! Thankyou Stephen thoroughly enjoyed as always.

Stephen Hendry Owns the crucible

Stephen Hendry, King of the Crucible and Legend

[@dunewalks5988]

Wonderful video. Long before the land of Sky Sports. This was my life. This was my childhood. Age 9 and in awe of the ‘85 final and early teens watching Stephen dominate the ‘90s. Wonderful, wonderful memories. And a more simple World. No mobile, social media. Less stress, more contentment.

[@antonsolomko]

Absolutely loved this tour! Thanks for sharing this unique experience with us!

[@santatu555]

What a great episode Stephen! What a great person to take us around such a fabled place. Keep up the good job man!

[@ReegusReever]

Crucible is a great name for it

[@thenazarite2444]

See his love for snooker, the way his face and heart lights up 5:21

[@nbmufc94]

Enjoyed the little chat with Rob Walker. He really is very adept when it comes to interviewing players when passions are high and he is a great commentator and MC. He doesn't get enough appreciation at all.

[@ashrafahmed9504]

The King of the Crucible for a reason!

[@unclejam2188]

Don't understand why Rob Walker gets so much flack. I find him very good on comms and he seems very passionate. Great video Stephen!

Great tour of the Crucible Theatre, Great video Stephen.

[@abubakardar7922]

Your videography and editing team is great. This is high quality stuff that you're giving us.

[@marklittlewood1633]

The crucible truly is the home of snooker to think it comes under pressure every few years to keep the world championships is astonishing

[@johng9154]

Its not big enough to hold the championship

[@Leggett___]

Nice to see Rob Walker getting some love ❤️

[@Infinite_JS]

I love these videos. These are just absolute gold. The insight, the knowledge, the experience.

[@mzzzzz2179]

Rob Walker and Hazel Irvine are both LEGNEDS!!!

[@boahnation9932]

Rob walker is a great presenter, a great person and simply great for snooker! Honestly snooker has the best representation out of all sports.

[@frankster200]

Thanks Stephen. Please keep up the high quality content during the off season!

[@catbhoy]

Love his honesty … feeling pangs of jealously about the player walking out to play snooker at the very top level.

[@malcomalco8695]

Great work Stephen, Hopefully you can get some more players on the hard table challenge off season.

[@skakdosmer]

The place seems a lot bigger than I thought. I know places always look bigger through a wide angle lens, but still it seems odd that some players complain that it's too small. And the number of corridors is amazing - you could easily get lost, I think.

[@andrewfraser2760]

Fantastic to get an 'almost' live tour just before the final session 👍

[@brianmacpherson4913]

that's what I thought too! Amazing piece of video, especially with a cameo from John Parrot

[@adamweishaupt2846]

0:03 Makes you realise just how compact and claustrophobic the two table set up is when you see that view.

[@tommyerscough714]

I absolutely love this. Thank you to the producers who always know exactly what we want to see - the excerpt from coms with JV for example. Top class.

[@Greggieboy76]

Ah, this was absolutely brilliant!!! Thanks so much for this!!

[@davidroberts1245]

Great video. After having tickets for the World Championship that got cancelled due to COVID, really want to go next year. Videos like this only whet the appetite!

When you talk about mental toughness and ruthlessness in sport, Hendry’s right up there. You can see it in his eyes even now.

It's hard to believe they have 2 tables in that small space until the final stages. It's so small. John Virgo is so excitable. 😂

[@doctornovocalcords]

Fantastic as always. Your videos are just fantastic Stephen. It's not only the real insight and knowledge though, for me what really makes them is all that but combined with real warmth, humour and humility. So humble and down to earth for a player who is undoubtedly one of if not the best players ever

[@L1ghtOn3]

@@wayneanthonyholmes4437 You really are starting to make me laugh now, honestly, do you not have anything else better to do? If you don't like the guy, why do you watch ALL HIS VIDEOS and spend time commenting on them? You are either an attention seeker, or you have something wrong with you. Everyone knows how good Hendry was in his prime, no one is asking for your opinion all the time. Pretty sad really, but highly laughable now when I see you post with your fakeness, gives me a good old chuckle....🍿😂

Interesting point about possibly being sat next to a smoker. Pity the poor soul sat next to Alex Higgins, you’d be half-asphyxiated by the time you got to the table.
