Stop telling lies lad

@@billybarr7443 why would you even say that?

​@@billybarr7443 And how would you know?

Stop telling lies lad

how old are you now sir？

Fair point definitely the best all round players although John Higgins might have something to say about it.

​@@paulr6881 These have won much more WC's than Higgins. Agree though Higgins is a teak tough player.

Ray Reardon.

The full final is up. Just type in Hendry vs Davis World Championship.

I watched parts of this thinking that he beat him in this Final. I recall him beating Hendry in one televised Final, though of course he never made a World Championship Final again after his last triumph in 1989.

Would be less. That's almost a maxi

"see if you can get one for me"

youngspit89 he didn’t say please

He asked something in a Scottish accent, the referee said pardon, and he asked again, and the referee still didn't understand him, and after that I think he just nodded his head and hoped for the best. :)

Looks like a pretty good list that Jordan!

Davis was good but I think Higgins, Robertson and Trump play to a higher standard than him.

@@alanchamberlain9902 probably right but not as consistently as Davis did

@@alanchamberlain9902 what a stupid comment.... You are clearly, clueless

higgins was better than davis

That's because Davis used to be the best .

This is a Hendry who JUST became World No 1, who had only won the recent Worlds, against a Davis that was still young, sharp, had 6 World titles, 25 isch ranking wins (when that was basically the record if not the record). This is like Tiger Woods playing Nick Faldo, in 1997, when Tiger had just won Masters and had become the World No1. Sure, you know you are the No 1 but you only just won that and one big title ... and now you play the GOAT with 6 times more titles under his belt.

Funny how they claimed that Parrott sustained it against White winning 18-11 after going 7-0 up, yet claimed or didn't claim that Hendry sustained it va Bond in the 1995 world final winning 18-9 after doing an 8-1 in the second session. It's like Hendry wad being unfairly measured in terms of sustaining it compared with anyone else after winning big in one session that anybody else winning by the same margin as the peak lead 2 or 3 sessions earlier was great but Hendry had to repeat or almost repeat the dose of a big session margin for a futher session or 2 during the remainder for it to be classed as him sustaining it and done great. Hendry after all increased the lead to win by a larger mqrgin in 1995 after the 8-1 yet Parrott in 1991 did not after the 7-0. Had Hendry won a world championship final 18-11 after going 7-0 up the wsy Parrott did va White in 1991 would not exactly have been a terrible performance that it would have barely worth him celebratng it. Expectng the same player to go 7-1 or 7-0 after going a 6-1 or 7-0 or 8-1 at the fag end of a world championship final at the Crucible was a tall order for anybody to be expected to schieve sgain and agsin evenfor a prime Hendry at the time. Yes it's happened such as Davis in 1989 and Hendry in 1993 but it was not an automatic feat or a formality to win massive. Hendry couldn't even do it again vs White the yesr after in 1994 showing how extremely difficult it is for anybody to win by 12+ frames twice in a row or consistently in a world championship final.

​@@barath4545 Winning big in even just one session in a Crucible final is a great achievement, Parrott or even a peak Hendry. Even peak Hendry vs Bond in 1995 and Ebdon in 1996, he couldn't manage 6 frames in a session againet them more than once in a world championship finsl, but that didn't make those 2 world title wins in 1995 and 1996 hardly worth celebrating just because he did not win them by 12+ frames. Judt because he destroyed White 18-5 once didn't mean he should have automatically thrashed Bond something like 18-3 in 1995 then something like 18-4 vs Ebdon in 1996. If Hendry was truly to win by an even bigger massive margin against White in the 1994 world championship final than even the 18-5 the year before after going 5-1 up in the first session, Hendry would have had to have won something like 13-1 or 13-2 from there on in for the remainder of the match which proved to be too tall any order even for him.

Oh ffs, behave yourself!!! Are you seriously telling me Stephen Hendry wouldn't be able to cope with the likes of Kyren Wilson and Barry Hawkins??? Every era in snooker has it's great players and average players, Hendry proved his quality time and time again. How would the likes of Wilson, Hawkins and Trump cope with Hendry in his 90s prime I wonder...

Going unbeaten 5 on the trot at both the Crucible and Wembley (or wherever the Masters was held after certain date once the conference centre was demolished). Nobody would have achieved it at either venue after 1996 even if Hendry had turned pro in 1992 as a 16 year old. Would Williams have messed up needing pink and black in the 11th at the Masters at Wembley in 1998 with the same chance as Hallett got in 1991, and then suffer the same complete meltdown for the remainder of the match against a fighting Hendry that Hallett did?

Rubbish mate. Don't know your snooker. A clutch Ronnie fan. Ronnie, Higgins and Williams rarely beat Hendry at his peak.

​@@allthekingshorses7178 100%. Hendry was a serial winner. The class of 92' made little impression on him at his peak.

you can never compare eras

Steve Davis won 6 frames.

Jahangir Khan allegedly won 555 squash matchea in a row once. Not sure how accurate that is.

@@dvidclapperton I won 556.

More Tournaments now

So are house prices lol

There was good money in snooker in the 90s due to tobacco sponsorship. Also there was only 4/5 uk TV channels in the early 90s so snooker used to get huge audiences.

@@playbackvintagehifihunter9669 There were already more tournaments then than there were in the early 1980's. And even more now.

They can, but Hendry's accuracy is probably at its all-time peak around now. Honestly, peak Hendry would be harder to play than peak O'Sullivan. At least with Ronnie, you'd know you'd have a small chance in one session. Hendry was just relentless.

You simply cannot put davis ahead of ronnie!!

You can't put Jimmy White ahead of John Higgins, are you nuts???

Yeah getting in and scoring heavier was the difference.

@@alanchamberlain9902 yeah true .Davis just got overpowered by that.

@@alanchamberlain9902 are you the referee

@@ianwilliamson2980 No lol I wish

@@ianwilliamson2980 How do you think peak Davis and Hendry would do today?

Whispering Ted Lowe was a great man.

Ted Lowe is the greatest snooker commentator of all time

Really?

@@Geena-tn1pt He only got those records cause he played against weak competition. Face the facts Harry. And stop changing your name.

@@Geena-tn1pt Ron was a kid for most of that time period.

@@Geena-tn1pt And what's the relevance of what u said ?!?? Ron only became a complete player in 2004

The standards don't rise, the playing conditions improve, thus the game gets easier and you can only do the best you can with what you had in the era you played. There are changes in pocket size, cloths, balls, cues, tips and chalk, there are coaches now when there never used to be, table heaters make each venue play the same as the last, daylight lighting makes it easier to see, there is a professional tour so you don't need a day job like you did between 1950 and 1969. Todays pro players have done nothing else but play snooker, eight hours a day since they were ten years old so they're bound to be more consistant.

@@vmax4steve524 this.

Hendry widely acknowledged as the greatest player ever, with Davis not far behind. Excellence is never boring

@@allthekingshorses7178 Really who acknowledges Hendry as the GOAT then.

@@SnookerFan-kl1jj Ronnie O'Sullivan and Steve Davis have both said Stephen Hendry is the greatest player ever

@@allthekingshorses7178 Not true..Hendry & Bum Davis call Ronnie the GOAT!

not as boring as your stupid comment...

WTF are you talking about, Hendry is the GOAT and his personality is perfect, he always behaved as the perfect gent around the table, unlike Ronnie who is a scumbag...

COOM ON RONNEH

@@woudwilder8324 Oh, Ronnie is a scumbag without a doubt. It comes from being the son of a convicted murderer. Doesn't change the fact in my opinion that Hendry was indeed a great player. But with the personality of a glass of water.
