Yeah, but it’s shit that break from life isn’t getting the lads in, as he basically created the KZfaq audience here.

No it wouldn't

@@sarcastaball yes, it would

Thats a great idea until tony knowles shows up and talks for 6 hours about a red he played with check side into the middle bag back in the 80s 😂

@@ryanmichael7795Tony made a career out of a world championship runner up and a couple off semi finals and quarter finals.. Demonstrated how flawed the ranking system was back then, when you win Jack shit, but attain a 2nd wold ranking for nearly 4 years!

​@@Guvnor-bu6xmI'm pretty sure he isn't/won't.

Davis is always gutted. That's why he makes sarcastic comments and smiles all the time.

It’s interesting. Whilst he wasn’t very animated he was definitely tuned into those around him and their emotions.

Yawn.

@@end-game2030Have a lie down.

Yeah, so was I. I always rooted against him. I think he's great now, and I love this channel.

Ha. And I thought I was the only one. Apparently not

The maestro.

Yes I most definitely agree...

Humbly telling everyone about 167k winnings that most people don't earn in 5 years.

@@13thdukewimbourne Maybe that's because "most people" don't put in enough effort or have the same level of talent? It's not even much compared to what other athletes make. Use your brain and stop whining.

immediately felt the urge to check that gesture in the Mike Hallett match😂

agreed and the fact we get literal coaching from the goat. Its not often we get so close to the greats, chess being online these days has a similar vibe, we can actually go up against magnus carlsen lol

Break from life will probably recreate this video by next week 😂

@@stephenbeese4225pretty sure he’s already done it ages ago

And give a high recreation score for a shot that is no way near similar

Get him on your show

​@@jonathanhobden3558 lol no chance, he'd have to play when he's not in control of the edit 😅

@@wayneanthonyholmes4437 bet you’d smash him keyboard warrior

​@@wayneanthonyholmes4437that you Ronnie?

Stephens focus and concentration in these games was phenomenal. He had this laser focus in his eyes and would never miss. He was relentless.

It is not obvious how much of a recording is available from that era

I’m sure you remember the highlights of your life

In fairness what you did last week wasn't recorded for you to rewatch as many times as you wanted.

was thinking that!

humble!? Good one

@@WayneAnthonyHolmes-qd1xz- another fake account by the troll from Blackpool. 👏

a selection of 3,000 bottles of top quality Scotch, and wasted the rest.

I'm guessing it's a take on the term "pocketed" 😁

Not just "trousered £167,000. But he also won the World 🌎 Championship that year, and, I do believe, his manager bought him a Ferrari F355 for his accompaniments that year.

Great to see that one of my two favourite Polish commentators (guess who :D) enjoys this channel as much as I do!

I really think Stephen Hendrys brilliance has been lost on younger generations of Snooker fans. I think some fans do not realise how good he actually was For me he is the greatest player ever. Ronnie O'Sullivan is perhaps the most talented and gifted player ever, but compared to Stephen Hendry he has underachieved in his career. A player with the ability of Ronnie O'Sullivan should have won 15+ World Championship titles. This is why i put Stephen Hendry above Ronnie O'Sullivan as i believe if Stephen Hendry had the same ability as Ronnie O'Sullivan he would have won so much more than he did. Perhaps because he put so much effort into being the very best is why he was unable to continue his dominance from the 90's into the 2000's.

​@@ebojfmdboojoh4023 So you're saying the reason Hendry was better than O'Sullivan is that he wasn't as good as O'Sullivan? Sorry mate I couldn't resist.

@@caseyquirke9903 I guess it depends how you define Greatness. Ronnie O'Sullivan has played in 275 Ranking tournaments and and won 41 giving a tournament winning percentage of 14.09%. Stephen Hendry played in 251 ranking tournaments and won 36 giving a winning tournament percentage of 14.34% so Hendry is a more sucessful player. Ronnie O'Sullivan has underachieved compared to Hendry and in my view that makes Hendry a greater player.

@@ebojfmdboojoh4023 I was just being pedantic tbh. But I would say that what Ronnie is still achieving maybe one of the most remarkable stories in the history of sport. Personally I'd define that as greatness.

@@ebojfmdboojoh4023 also Hendry fell off because he couldn't adapt, which Ronnie has consistently done for decades. He's also playing in a much more competitive era than peak Hendry, and dominating 10-15 yrs past his supposed 'peak'.

Легенда снукера! Пять лет подряд мировой титул брал А всего 6сти чемпион мира

​@@wayneanthonyholmes4437he is entitled to be big headed. He hits a 147 against ronnie in a final. 147 against jimmy for 167k . He beat rinnie williams and higgins in his pomp and the old guard in davis and white.

@@wayneanthonyholmes4437 hendrys run to win 1999 WC. Hunter, wattana, stevens, ronnie and williams. Says it all. Hendeys game was gone after 2002 WC when he beat ronnie in the semis. Look can we agree he was a great player and in his pomp beat all the names i mentioned. Im not saying he is better than ronnie but he was a special player

@@wayneanthonyholmes4437 u obviously dont follow snooker. Look who he beat in 1999 wc. He beat higgins in uk final in 1990s.

@@wayneanthonyholmes4437 can we not agree they are both great players

Can't agree with the going behind the curtain in the wizard of Oz analogy. The whole point of that tale was to show that the wizard was just a sad little man when the curtain was removed. Here, if anything we find out that Steve was certainly for real and how much nerve he really had.

@@markhiggins8315 good point. I meant it in the sense of revealing the secrets of a magician, not that the emperor wears no clothes :)

Yeah good point

​​​​​overrated Hahahaha what a clown, his achievements alone demonstrate that you're just here to troll, not to mention the high regard he's held in, not only by his fans, but also his peers, many of whom, that you've also disrespected, would give their right arm for a career like his. Lets not forget all the players in this day and age who have been influenced by him, and his playing style, which even brought about changes to how the game is played, and certain shots are approached. Let's all listen to some troll on KZfaq, and not understand the facts that he dominated the sport at the highest level for years, beating everyone he took on at some point, and extremly often. How do you really expect anyone to take you seriously when you're claiming he's overrated, unbelievable, and your comment lacks any credibility. You wouldn't be good enough to chalk his cue mate, and nobody can take away what the guy has achieved during his career, and is now highly regarded as a top class commentator, as well as putting out this great channel. It takes a whole lot more than just lifting the trophies to be a great champ, but it sounds like you don't have a clue. I mean, just look at the state of your comments, Would you like to point at the teddy where Stephen hurt you? Because there's one thing for sure, you're not living in the 'real world'
