Like him or hate him he's the best of all time, he learned from them all Reardon, Jimmy, Alex, Davis, Hendry, John Higgins etc, updated his game and is the best scorer in Snooker history. He knows the table so well how to play safe etc. Ronnie faced far tougher crops than Hendry did Ronnie came up against a declining but solid Davis, peak Hendry himself, Williams, Higgins, Hunter, Stevens, later on Selby, Ding, Robbo, Judd and he has still won so many tournaments in recent years. Snooker is a dying game there will never be another Ronnie again.

[@leprechaun7667]

💯 Agree

[@bobsmithy9024]

The greatest snooker player ever would have p

[@FransBlaas1]

100% agree, glad he is in good shape and mood today..

[@michaelmulhall5007]

Love Ronnie but I just don’t get this narrative that gets pushed? Hendry was playing against all the class of 92. Ken, ebdon Jimmy in his peak. Lee stevens Hunter how is that weaker. Hendry was a genius himself it’s all about recent bias. Hendry changed the way the game was played long red straight into the pack no safety. His que getting snapped fucked him. Ronnie has now long taken it too another a level but this happens is sport

[@thehunter6084]

True💯🚀🍀

[@81Fitzerz]

One of the greatest sportsmen of all time .... Genius

[@AKKS_Gaming]

To me, Ronnie O'Sullivan is the very definition of Snooker. I've learned every technique by watching Ronnie play. But the biggest win for Ronnie (bigger than winning most titles and 7 world titles), in my perspective, is the battle that he won against his demons at a certain period of time and age. And that is what makes him a real champion in my view. I'm really lucky to be alive in the era of the greatest of Snooker players that ever graced this game and especially I got to see my inspiration becoming the Greatest.Of.All.Time. You are simply the Best Mr. ROCKET O'Sullivan. 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀

[@trew1061]

Well said👏

[@CraigDewhurst]

Cracking comment and now a world title away from 888 and first triple crown in a season,GENIUS

[@scottirvine121]

It’s clear to see the respect Ronnie has for Higgins, great insight and interview

[@nabeelawan9428]

True, and also there is a snooker show called "my perfect player" or something, in that Ronnie said about 60% of the questions resulting Higgings his favioret for that shot.check that out mate

[@robertl426]

Ronnie is the epitome of the "tortured genius" with his mental health struggles. Sadly not all of us tortured "souls" have a gift within us like he does. For me, he's the most naturally talented snooker player to ever pick up a cue.

[@christopherrichardson5352]

Battling and conquering his demons is just another part of what makes Ronnie and his journey through life and snooker so great. He is a true icon!!! 👍❤

[@thethairishsun]

Alan in carpark: "Come on, i'll get you a coffee." Alan outside cafe: "Who's buying?"

[@TheGuitarRiot]

I remember watching Ronnie winning his World title in 2001, me being a student from Russia, residing in London, I fell in love with the guy's personality immediately. He is truly special, even though of course everyone is an outstanding player in the pro snooker league. Anyway, always shout for Ronnie, and glad that he's so many people's hero. Hope he gives us many more years of pleasure of watching him play. Top lad.

[@tonynaccarato4751]

What a great lad, going to give all the credit to his father and lovely mother, god given talent when it comes to his snooker genious.

[@samsamm1402]

young Alan mcmanus cracks me up so much hahaha

[@soso3078]

No words to describe our love and respect for Ronnie! Even his opponents can’t neglect his sensational talent There are many perfect snooker players , but Ronnie is one and he will always be Number One, win or lose! Love Ronnie!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@rcmakingtracks18]

Thanks for sharing with us Ronnie. Your a star...

[@castleanthrax1833]

[@tahirmahmood5966]

Legend greatest of all time❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. Pure natural talent was born to play the game. Especially what he went through with his dad at such an early stage of his career n life to do what he has done is amazing❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.

[@the_alchemy_method]

"i felt they could see right through my soul and know i was lying..." Very interesting comment and a fascinating and brutally honest interview

[@WayneAnthonyHolmes-fr6zn]

Ronnie O Sullivan is the greatest player of all time! Stats never lie! 7 World 7 UK 7 Masters. 39 Ranking Titles & Counting. Most Centuries & 147s & Fastest.Facts! 👌

[@Dave-wu5ug]

What a legend. His a worried ponderous soul even now and that's why he is so good when it all leaves him on the snooker table. Time slows down for his mind and then his just in that place we all call the ZONE

[@mattwilliam8931]

Riveting stuff. Ronnie your my hero an absolute legend

[@calvins_hat]

Always been a Hendry + Higgins fan. But I am first and foremost a snooker fan and I have no question the man is the greatest of all time

[@tobyharling719]

It's incredible that there's a greater time span between his first and last world title than between his first world title and Steve Davis' first world title.

[@johnp515]

I was thinking that, it’s the same as if Steve Davis had won the World title in 2002

[@rossseed1451]

What a great interview, cheers! Come a long way from Blackpool, Ronnie, every credit to ye and all the best!

[@EduardBroekman]

Great interview and documentary.

You’re a good guy ronnie

[@rawfootagetoday6766]

Legend.

[@Jellyrocket1]

Amazing insight, thank you.

[@danrion8839]

Ronnie is a overall champion, as he has to deal with personal problems like his father went to prison for murder and mother too when he was very young. He fights all the Demons to become the greatest Snooker champion in the world. TRUE FIGHTER.

[@MohammedAli-xe2iv]

NO WORDS OR BULLSHITT THE GOAT

Legend. It speaks volumes that many people in Scotland consider him their favourite player, despite us having many legends of our own.

[@connorallen7]

“You’ll learn” 😂 no ronnie will teach ya

[@jennylea8638]

You don't have to like him (I do I love him) but you have to appreciate him Very few have ever been able to do what Ronnie can When the game isn't "on" he just drops it back to another gear and takes off When it's working fine people have a go at him saying he's not trying hard enough That's just Ronnie tucking the game up his sleeve for when he needs it He can play every shot in the book and if it doesn't exist he creates one ROS has played and beat them all over the decades and the titles are still coming What a man our Rocket is We will all miss him terribly when he walks away but for the WST they can't afford to lose him Ticket sales will go through the floor and TV ratings will die

[@kennethtalbott2233]

long live the king.

[@elmirbrdar1045]

McManus a great interviewer and pundit now

[@hariboproductions]

Didn't Ronnie say when he won his 7th last year that he had a camera crew following him throughout the tournament? Is there or will there be a documentary?
