I could listen to this conversation all day. Neil is so down to earth and an exceptional player

[@crucifr1ed]

Hendry such a humble bloke considering he was easily the best snooker player of his generation and maybe even of all time? Also, absolutely love it when he's commentating! He really elevates any game he's commentating on with his passion and insight! Must be hard going from being the best to struggling to make a 50 break but the guy is pure class about it! Someone to learn from!

[@Ownedyou]

I'd say Hendry is the GOAT, though Ronnie will pass him this year. He is a great ambassador for the sport though, no doubt about that!

[@jaketew2032]

@@Ownedyou out of curiosity, why is hendry the current GOAT for you?

[@Ownedyou]

[@jaketew2032]

[@jsss3604]

G'day mate! Throw another shrimp on the barbie

[@MrGloryglorymanutd18]

This is something Hendry needed to do a long time ago but better late than never from the Snooker legend.The greatest long Potter under pressure I've ever seen in Snooker was Mr.Hendry and he proved how good he can still be still at the beginning of the second frame where he pots the long red and takes the 2 reds away from the black landing perfect on it and he called it before taking the shot.

[@Softlad92]

This is AMAZING, few frames and a good chat with Stephen Hendry, every snooker a fans dream come true.

[@Ownedyou]

That was awesome! I want a longer episode now... That means one thing: you simply HAVE TO do an episode with Peter Ebdon! 2 frames. 2 hours. 😁

[@Handless_handle]

Peter Ebdon has no place in this sport, lacking skill and choosing to psychological grind someone down doesn’t make for a spectators sport!

[@Ownedyou]

@@Handless_handle In his prime though, he was a good player. He would often find entries to attack from opponents safety plays by hitting very difficult shots. Once his potting declined though, he basically resorted to the grind. Not against the rules, but not that great to watch.

[@flucazade]

A peter ebdon best of 3 would be at least a 5 episode series

[@Handless_handle]

@@Ownedyou disagree hugely, he lacked agile skill and took to emotional control, a terrible and distasteful player in my Opinion

Hi Stephen. The best snooker KZbin channel around at the moment. Don't give up on it please.

[@pSynrg303]

Probably one of the best snooker episodes I've ever seen. I'm 54 and watched a shit-ton of snooker, but this is just right. A couple of snooker legends having a really interesting natter over a table. Amazing content. Hendry the relentless WC winning machine vs Hendry the affable pundit - are they the same person!? 😉

[@CHEESYhairyGASH]

This channel is amazing, Hendry is a blessing for snooker.

[@justynbarnes7895]

You're getting very good at this interviewing lark! So interesting to hear how Neil approaches his practice and tournaments. And he's such a nice guy - justified confidence rather than arrogance.

[@end-game2030]

Mmm very intresting and personal interview. Found it very useful to hear how you both understood and executed your practice sessions. Quality content 👍🏼. I'm hoping this channel is not abandoned like so many pros have done before. Snooker in the UK and world needs a quality YT channel.

[@johnsrabe]

Good point.

[@jama211]

This was so watchable, I just watched all of it without thinking, thank you for this!

[@will_doherty]

I'd avoided these videos for a while, for no particular reason other than I suspected they'd not be particularly interesting. This is the fourth one now that I've watched over the last two days - very much more interesting than I'd imagined, and it's nice to get some insight into the players away from their professional environment. I've no doubt I shall be watching more, thanks for setting this series up.

[@CaribSurfKing1]

Having the camera move around so you get the perspective of being there and observing the shots is what is special. You can learn a lot more this way. Try to get more input about what the player is attempting with the cue ball and how close they come.

[@YesOkayButWhy]

Good comment! Definitely Agreed about the camera... wonder if that was their intention or just the practicality.

[@cahg3871]

“he’s a fair weather supporter,he ditched me for O’Sullivan”-lmao! Stephen has a way of telling a story that makes me laugh.

[@marcmorrissey1147]

These interviews are brilliant and what we’ve needed as fans for a longtime

[@edrobinson8248]

i always support the underdog in any sports competition. I recall Hendry saying the opposite that he supports the favorite which took me back a bit. :-) Is that what makes a champion? I therefore expected an arrogant sort of bloke but the exact opposite. Modest even self effacing and still willing to learn from others. No longer that seemingly aloof win at all costs teenage champion but a pleasure to watch/listen to him interview the other champs. Thanks!

[@robertobee3198]

Great channel Stephen. There's still an aura in the room when you step back and step into your shot. I think your media work is really classy too, great relaxed style, perfect delivery, great stuff, I'm really enjoying your channel. I like Ronnie, but for me, your domination in the 90s is unparalleled in the sport, many thanks for the brilliant entertainment.

[@patrickcrowther9195]

Aside from being wonderful snooker players, Stephen Hendry and Steve Davis have something else in common. Perhaps because of their single-minded dedication to the game in their glory years, they came across as somewhat taciturn. Then when they got older they loosened up and became such engaging characters. It’s funny how that often happens in sport. Great channel.
