What a truly lovely man. Always so happy and pleasant. And indeed, Thank you Ray Reardon for all you have done for snooker. It wouldn't be what it is today if wasn't for Ray and his generation.

I had the honor of meeting Ray Reardon at the New York Athletic Club. He was there for a snooker demonstration. Afterwards, I invited Ray to the pool hall to play some 9-Ball. His response? "I'm afraid if I stepped into a pool hall I'd fall in the pockets." 🤣

You know he loves the game more than anything bc you can easily sense the pure joy he has being able to witness and experience what its like to watch Ronnie play snooker. The way he talks about Ronnie is like the way someone talks about the love of their life.

@@user-yz8rv6rd8x I believe the standard improved dramatically but you have to credit him for improving the standard of Snooker. It was still a game full of drunks/druggies whereas he was a completely dedicated professional to the game with 7 hours of practice a day. I would say what got Hendry was the class of 92 coming along with their immense talent along with a decreased motivation from having surpassed Davis' world title count. The big mystery to me was why he fell off so hard, it wasn't a slow decline but a night and day difference.

I grew up in Devon and used to play in Rileys in Torquay. Ray owned the place before Rileys took over, anyway we used to see him come down for a coffee every now and again and would come over to the table to watch us play, he used to give advises like focus on the object ball as you strike and let your touch guide the cue ball. Brilliant advise and great guy all around.
