I don’t know how people could hate him, there’s absolutely nothing offensive about him. He was awesome and his attacking style was great for the game. There were two reasons he became unpopular, he kept beating the game’s most popular player (Jimmy White) in the same way that Davis did in the 80s (Alex Higgins). Also, his domination in the 90s became a bit frustrating again like Davis in the 80s. However, the game has reached unbelievable levels and for that we have to give Hendry a lot of credit.

​@@jamescarpenter6585 Seems a few haters are still lurking. I think Ronnie fanboys hate on him sometimes because he's still got a legitimate claim for GOAT, largely because of the dominance factor that Ronnie never really had, and impact on the game in terms of revolutionizing the attacking style as you say and raising the bar. There probably would be no class of '92 if it wasn't for Hendry. I remember specific ways he changed the game as well, like forcing players to find a way to get safer off the break and not nudge the bottom red into the wrong place (previously safe) off the break because more than half the time he'd sink it off his first shot and he was in. Was certainly all business at the table, but comes across as a top bloke now as well.

Most dominant player in the history of the game, through the 90s particularly. Ronnie has longevity and better stats (partly because of it), but if dominance over a 5+ year period is your criteria, Hendry is still your man, then Davis. All depends how you define the GOAT question really.

@@dalenewton9697 Longevity is the one thing Hendry didn't have - and the reason his numbers are now behind O'Sullivan, although it's taken Ronnie until his mid to late '40s to get there. But to assess the "greatest", you have to compare players at their peak, taking into account all aspects of their ability. What gives Hendry the edge over anyone else was his ability to play his very best under the greatest pressure. His temperament was far superior to O'Sullivan and enabled him to dominate over a prolonged period the game in a way that Ronnie has never done. This is the quality which sets apart the best in many other individual sports too.

@@dinoramone6761 I agree with most of that and would only quibble that there is some objective interpretation of what 'the greatest' means which requires any particular criteria being a non-negotiable. There are a few people here (I think 'fanboy's or 'trolls' in most cases) implying or making categorical claims that dominance is not relevant, or that the only thing that matters is the 'number of ranking titles' accumulated, etc., but this is objectively wrong as the debate reveals that people do indeed consider other factors to be relevant, and one of those is dominance, as you say. For this reason I think Davis, and Hendry still have a legitimate case for thee 'GOAT' title. All depends on how you define the terms/criteria I think. Hendry wasn't one of my favourite players ( I was a Jimmy fan like many others), but one thing that stays with me is just how fucking dominant and consistent the guy was, and how he forced the game to change and players to up their game to get anywhere near him. Sometimes just little things too. For example I remember how he basically forced a bunch of players to change how they broke off, because he would sink so many long reds off their breaks.

It's funny that this GOAT title doesn't really mean anything to either of them anymore. Hendry has always been my favourite because I was a young laddie growing up when he was playing and he was the only Scottish person that was good at anything growing up too. Hendry changed the game forever. He utterly dominated the entire sport for a decade. 7 world titles 5 of them on the trot! He was world number 1 for 8 consecutive years! He was ruthless, focused, formidable and had more bottle than any other player I've ever seen! Ronnie is the greatest naturally talented player ever and I imagine he always will be. Watching him play when he's at his best is simply sublime! He never had the same discipline, self control and temperament as Hendry which is why I think it has taken a longer career to beat all Hendrys records. Ronnie is such an accomplished player now and his mindset is so healthy. My favourite thing about them both now is their genuine depth of respect and admiration for each other. Ronnie happily admits Hendry was his idol growing up and that he classes him in the same category as the likes of Tiger Woods etc as people who utterly dominated their respective sports. Hendry states that he thinks that Ronnie is the greatest player of all time. The KZfaq videos with Hendry interviewing Ronnie are really great. Hendry is actually surprisingly really good at interviews. It's very clear throughout these videos that they hold each other in very high regard and its brilliant to see the two greatest players ever like that with each other!

@@graemejack9040 Being Scottish and loving snooker from the 80s, higgins was our man, but Davis destroyed him, and Jimmy, and most others to be fair. I developed a serious dislike for Davis as a snooker player in the 80s, in part because he was winning, but also because how boring a player he was, and he was, he took very little chances, but he was brilliant in his own game. Then we heard rumours there is a young Scottish lad who might be better than Davis. In short, Hendry after a couple of years dislodged Davis by playing all out attacking snooker which had never been seen before, or played in a calculating manner as he done it, no drink or drugs involved. Never compare Hendrys game to the game Davis played, they were night and day. On a postscript, i like Davis now, he is a decent lad doing the commentating, but lets not forget how boring and arrogant he was in his pomp in the 80s, his interview after the 85 final with Taylor summed him up at that time, he could barely congratulate his opponent on winning, yes he lost, but he had already won it three times at that time. History has been kind to him and his handler hearn.

Interesting because Hendry beat O'Sullivan scoring 8 centuries in the world snooker championships, in the semi. Snooker was its peak back then, as the popularity in the 80's brought in alot of good talent. The harsh reality is that its popularity has dramatically declined since than, and no real good player has emerged, even including Selby. This is why Higgins O'Sullivan and William's are still at the top of the game. 80's were the heyday.

I feel like i just found a rare treasure. *Thank you.* I often read comments saying that the great players of yesteryear would not even make it to a ranking event 1st round, but these comments are made by people who don't understand how different the playing conditions were then. In the very early days (before chalk cubes) players used to twist their cues into plaster walls for grip. I recently received a set of vintage Crystalate balls (not the newer Super Crystalate) and the difference between them and the current Aramith balls is night and day. Not to mention the heavy cloth they used to play on. (A quick not for anyone thinking about using super glue for tips: Don't do it. Over time it will damage the wood.)

Joe Davis picked his opponent to compete for the world title and a simple head to head ensued. No knockout competition. Though he was clearly the best at that time !!

Hate to say it, but Hendry owned Jimmy White, did Jimmy ever beat Hendry in any event? You don't win how Hendry did on just hard work, he was a very gifted player especially the killer instinct. Hendry is to Snooker what Bill Russell is to basketball the greatest winner ever.

White actually beat Hendry quite a lot, including twice at the world Championships. He also beat him once at the master's and once at the U.K. championships. Unfortunately he never beat him when it really mattered, i.e. in finals.

Hendry: "I had nothing to live up to because there had never been a great Scottish snooker player." WHAT??? Stephen, you haven't studied your snooker history. A Scotsman, Walter Donaldson, won two world championships (1947, 1954) and appeared in 6 other world championship final matches where, obviously, he came in second.

Jimmy came into my club and offered everyone a drink then got smashed and tried to leave without paying the bar tab, I called him back to pay and he gave me a load of abuse, absolute cretin, and I was a huge fan, now he can do one, I've zero interest in this twat being anywhere near a club, a snooker table or me he was that toxic.
