Lovely interview, Ronny opening up is an amazing insight into the mental side of snooker. Nice that Ryan gave him the time to speak without to many interuptions. Sign of a good host.
Ronnie talked in such a humble way about his accomplishments in snooker. He may try to down play things a bit, but there is not one bit of doubt in my mind that he IS the GOAT!!! I am certainly hoping he can win one more world title and make one more 147 at The Crucible. Cheers Ronnie. 👍❤

I have watched him play for over 20 years and I can tell you that he changes his attitude daily. One day he’s humble, the next he’s arrogant. He has been awful in interviews and incredibly disrespectful (the china interview a number of years back). When he’s in a good mood, he’s very likeable but most of the time he’s difficult.

He’s not humble when he asked what the 147 prize money is when he’s pitted one black. Or when he’s says the players now are no good, or when he shakes hands mid match, or when he has an excuse every time he loses instead of admitting he’s been beat, or when he says he just plays now to pay his kids school fees.

What's so great about snooker, isn't just that it's a fabulous game, but also the personalities of the champions... Davis, Hendry, Ronnie, and all the rest... All just good, honest people, entertaining, engaging, funny, and super super talented.

its the most relaxed ive ever seen him
No words can describe Ronnie, especially what he means to someone who's a fan since 16 ( I am now 40)
Agree with Ronnie that he's 2/3 out of 10 (which will beat most people), or 10/10. At 10/10, Ronnie is better than anyone, and is something to behold. Love watching him play, will be a while before there's another like him. One of the most natural sportsman I've seen, while I like watching him, my overriding hope is that he's happy. Hope I can watch him for many years.
Being in the Crucible and watching this man play is on the bucket list for me. Hope I can make it before he retires. Huge respect, not only for his game but for him as a person in general.

Absolutely brilliant interview. Really enjoyed that. Ronnie has been about my whole life. Feel honoured to have seen him play. Unreal talent.
Because its Snooker he’s overlooked in the world of professional sport. When it comes to natural talent, Ronnie possess an ability that is extremely rare indeed. He is a genius. When he’s playing at his best it’s like watching an artist at work.

Ronnie is a true star. Seems like you can have a proper laugh and banter with him if you just met out and about . Not many people famous or not can manage that
What a great guy. I watch him play and it's nothing but a joy and relaxing.
Great show. Good to see Ronnie O`Sullivan in this programme.
He is an enigma. He is undoubtedly the best player I have ever seen. I do like the way he always respects other players. He is a top bloke ❤
I can't tell you how much I love Snooker because of Ronnie, the technical, methodical approach and quite stoic nature of his game is awesome. Not putting him on a pedestal, I have 4 or 5 other favorites with their own styles. SNOOKER IS THE KING OF BILLIARDS.
Ronnie is so humble, and he walks the fine one perfectly within confident and cocky. A truly wonderful man and talent. I don’t think there’s many argument over who is the goat.
An absolute genius dealing with way more than any person should ever have to deal with… and still became the greatest player of all time
This was a superb interview with Ronnie and interesting to hear the other side of his life the ups and downs, it is always a pleasure to watch him play and have so much respect for him good luck Ronnie hope you continue to be successful and for you and your family good luck .. very enjoyable watch thanks.

Ronnie IS the greatest snooker player of all time! His overall record is unmatched, more major titles than anyone else, highest number of century breaks (by a country mile) and maximum breaks, his incredible longevity, his phenomenal cueing and potting skills all done at blinding speed (right or left handed). He’s an entertainer, has unbelievable charisma, and even though he’s done some forbidden things during his career, he is the absolute definition of a snooker genius! No question about it, the majority of snooker fans all over the world watch the game mainly BECAUSE of Ronnie!

I'm a Stephen Hendry fan down to my bones and always hated Ronnie. I was 10 when Hendry won his first title and he was my absolute hero! I disliked Ronnie so much because he was Hendry's nemesis and only player ever to really challenge him. I stumbled upon those two KZread videos between them during lockdown and was blown away. I'd always just assumed that they hated each other. It was fascinating to see that they are genuinely good friends now and hold nothing but huge respect and admiration for one another. It's amazing to see this from the two greatest players ever in the sport. I love that they both genuinely regard the other as being the greatest too.
Higgins, White, "O" Sullivan. These 3 players all have one thing in common, an unbelievable presence of GENIUS when they played.
Great interview. Great bloke. Great player.
What I love about Ron he never once mentions being 16-14 down to Selby and coming out playing 3 outrageous frames.. It's the greatest thing in sport. Especially coz Selby was in form and 100% confident at the time

Funny how you don't mention 2014 wsc final when O'Sullivan had Selby on a plate for a third straight title and he blew it in a spectacular fashion... A match in which Selby didn't record a century until the last two frames of the match or so.
I would love to hear what he sees after the break and how he calculates position. He is definitely the best and most amazing player. Love watching his games.
Awwww sooooo sweet Ronnie…. We’ll go through difficult phase …. You have been an inspiration to all of us going through the same phase as a child.. much love and admiration ❤❤❤❤❤
Best snooker player ever and a cool dude with a great philosophy to life and the fact he said that about Stephen Hendry is astonishing really and while it will be true to some normally someone wouldn't say that as it could influence so many people. Out all players on there best day i dont know who would be the best
Thanks for the interview Ronnie.
The best part was the interviewer asking if it’s ok to talk about the “ testing times “ of his life . Most people love to rip people apart with stinging words during these interviews for those 15 min fame !!! Love the interview, interviewer and Ronnie the “GOAT”!!!
Great guy , such honesty and totally honest.
He is a zen master,any player who ask what the 147 prize is on the 2nd red and then has a perfect game is pure legend.
What a man, what a GOAT! Such a lovely fellow, indeed.
Best I've ever seen. No contest.

Ronnie is more of a snooker legend than Steve Davis or Stephen Hendry, even though he's won less than them. He is a snooker genius and no one would say that about Davis or Hendry. This guy is special. He brought something to the game never seen in the modern era, swapping from left to right hand whenever he wanted, doing insane shots no one else would dare try and pulling them off, doing a 147 in 4 mins 20 secs, almost running around the table to get it done in the fastest time... he has nerves of steel. If you asked any snooker fan that's 45+ years old (that has seen Davis and Hendry) who is the best they have ever seen - not a single one of them won't say... it's Ronnie O'Sullivan, hands down.
