Appalling the way he’s been treated by the BBC getting emptied after this years world championships…..being replaced with bores like joe Perry and his ilk is a disgrace, same with Virgo….they both still had lots to offer so it’s an end of an era sadly!

Cliff nailed that Wing Shot. The Master.

With the pure hatred I have for admitting how long I spend on my phone sometimes, this channel is the most justified use of time ever. Literally pure jubilation watching these gents, thanks so much Stephen and crew ❤️

That was excellent. Well done Stephen on another fantastic video. Cliff and Dennis are brilliant. Great work Stephen, Cliff and Dennis.

It's great seeing Cliff Thorburn again

Great content Stephen, love it.

I have just the biggest smile on my face. Dennis, Cliff and Stephen are just the best. 😀😍

I'll never forget seeing Ray Reardon doing the most amazing trick shots I've ever seen at Minehead Butlins in 94.

I swear Cliff Thorburn's been 58-years-old for the last 45 years.

@@EnglishPoolandSnooker That's a fair point - I was pretty surprised to learn he was only 36 when he won the World Title. I think with him it was mainly the glasses though, whereas Cliff Thorburn has always had the "colonel travelling first class aboard the Titanic" look and vibe about him.

UNREAL how great these are. unreal

Dennis Taylor is just a treasure.

Two of the gentlemen of the game and they can still get in done on the baize. Impressive trick shots!

Excellent to see Cliff on the Channel again he is a class act respect to the king of the crucible and the legendary DT as well of course

could listen to Dennis all day what a legend

Dennis will always be the most entertaining snooker player to watch. A true showman, with the skill to back it up.

I love that you love doing this Stephen Hendry, thanks for being a great sport and having fun, you earned it.

Thumbs up after the very first trick shot. Amazing.

3:54 is the most relatable shot I've ever seen Stephen Hendry play :)

That made my day seeing Dennis do that perfectly first time 😎

This channel just keeps getting better and better 👍🏻👏🏻👍🏻

Well done Mr.Hendry top marks for a fantastic video two very respected legends of the game plus yourself : )

Absolutely brilliant stuff! This channel is great Sir Hendry 🎱

Interesting that people said they liked the tactical side just as much as the heavy scoring - I always have, in fact I prefer a gritty tactical battle (yes, I did enjoy watching Ebdon v Dott...), I think you see people's skill come to the fore when they're breakbuilding, but you see their intelligence when it comes to tactics. Great video with two fellow legends of the sport, thanks for sharing with us. :)

My first exposure to snooker in my life was Pot Black on Friday nights on Australian TV (the ABC) in the 70's. Dennis Taylor, Ray Reardon, Eddie Charlton, Alex Higgins, Cliff Thorburn, John Spencer etc.

I’ve watched a few of these now and just love them. I had no idea. Stephen Hendry was such a genuinely nice guy and very good presenter of this sort of thing. Many thanks for bringing back a lot of memories of watching great snooker.

Brilliant,brings back memories,also great shots by Cliff&Denis 👏💯🍀

Thanks for more awesome content Stephen. Best snooker channel on YT!

I laughed more that I should with Stephen failing the slow motion shot. That was hilarious. Dennis became immediately my favourite guest for this channel.

The Grinder and Dennis Taylor still got the skills! Impressive.

The Den!!!!! How is it even possible not to love Dennis Taylor. Just clearly such a great great asset to Snooker, no question at all.

Brilliant stuff. I could watch these all day.

That episode was so good I watched it again. Thanks Stephen, Dennis and Cliff. ❤️

Totally fabulous.

I've been out of touch with snooker for a good 15 years, but it was a huge part of my childhood. It always seemed to be on TV. I had a mini table in my bedroom. I was always playing Jimmy White's Whirlwind Snooker. Seeing these guys just chatting and having a laugh is so heartwarming.

More of this please, great channel.

Amazing

You ought to get Steve Davis on the trick shots, we had him booked at Crawshawbooth Conservative Club, Rossendale in Lancashire when he was on the up and he drove up in the Lada that he’d just won in ‘The Lada Classic’… scoring the first televised 147 break. I’d seen exhibitions many times, so I was familiar with the pros trick shots. Steve’s were totally different and superb. I recall one where he talked about the easy one seen in clubs… to pot the blue in the middle pocket and screw the white back into the opposite pocket, then he introduced it as an impression of how World Darts Champion Eric Bristow would play it. Holding the cue one handed, javelin style, he got it first time and then repeated it with a handkerchief over the blue. The best exhibition I’ve seen, and a very interesting, entertaining and funny chap in complete contrast to his persona in tournaments. The next best exhibition I saw at the Con Club was an old, jam jar glasses wearing Welshman… Cliff Wilson. No trick shots but I’ve never seen consistent superb potting like it before. We also got Jimmy White at the club before he turned pro after winning the World Amateur final. He was great. Alex Higgins was the worst, turned up drunk, couldn’t do much and started complaining the balls were too cold. So we warmed them up in the pie oven . He didn’t improve.

I like how Dennis has one of those white pool cue tips on his trick shot cue.

I am glad that Alex Higgins was mentioned ❤

Great lads Dennis & Stephen

Legends ..

I’ve seen Dennis do an exhibition at my club 40+ years ago, and had the great pleasure of playing him one Saturday afternoon at ‘The Elite’ snooker club in Accrington when he lived in Blackburn and practiced there. I walked in and all the tables were occupied with frames going on apart from one guy in the corner on his own practicing. I didn’t recognise him, at first, asked if he fancied a few frames and he obliged. I won the toss, broke off, cue ball tight on the baulk cushion. He slotted in a difficult red, knocked in a 30+ break, ran out of position and snookered me behind a baulk colour. I noticed his cue case in my escape eye line before getting down to the shot, had ‘D. Taylor’ on it, then it clicked and with a chuckle I said, “You’re THE Dennis Taylor aren’t you?”, he replied chuckling, “Yep”. Turned out he was just back from having a couple of weeks off after losing in the World Snooker Final to Terry Griffiths. Played him all afternoon, and managed to win a couple of frames, but then he was playing me left handed. A superb, very witty gentleman and one of my fondest snooker memories.

Dennis is excellent banter. That first trick shot he made look very easy. It’s hard!

These old school guys (same here in the States on our 9ft pool tables) had to earn their livelihood from the game and from hustling and from being entertaining. Loved watching this.

Like without even watching it now ….. amazing content

Dennis and Cliff looking Great, , , wonderful to see 👍

Superb these

I'd like to know what Cliff thought of his portrayal in The Rack Pack and how accurate were his and Alex on-screen 'skirmishes'?

Hendry is just superb at this stuff. Check out him playing golf v Jimmy Bullard - but Dennis and Cliff what great blokes

3:58 hilarious, thx for all the fun content
