Stephen Hendry, was different gravy and changed the way snooker was played.. and I admire how he looks up to Ronnie and respects him so much 🙏🙏

Surely it's time Steve Davis was knighted. An outstanding player and snooker could not have a better ambassador. He was the king of snooker in the glory years, I hope he gets knighted and the sooner the better.

Most centuries in one tournament. Youngest ever world champion. 8 years at number one. 5 WC’s and 5 masters in a row. 28 matches unbeaten at the crucible and the highest win rate there. Only player to get triple crowns in 2 successive years. Would have got much more ranking titles as there are twice the amount of ranking titles available in 2024.

Hendry was just so dominant. That's what sets him apart from other players, for me. Even with O'Sullivan, Higgins, Doherty, Williams and lots of other great players in those days, you always felt that Hendry would beat them all. Even O'Sullivan never managed that level of dominance.

@johnmc3862

100%. People forget White was a good player too. 30 titles and 10 ranking titles . He just met Hendry every time in the WC.

I loved Davis growing up. I like his personality too and think he"s always conducted himself well. Stephen was a bit miserable when he was winning everything, but no doubt a phenomenal player. Ronnie is the greatest for me,but personality wise i feel Davis and Hendry's more level headed composure made them practice harder and represent the sport with a higher level of decorum than Ronnie who i find a bit wayward. Hendry is more easy-going since his retirement i feel,so i've warmed to him more in his later years.

People keep saying how high the standard has become, and while this might be true overall, I think that the years from 97 to 04 or so will always have the best top level snooker we'll ever see, with Hendry still going strong, the Class of 92 winning their first world titles, tough competitors like Doherty and Ebdon in their prime, Hunter and Stevens gunning in their early 20s... good times!

That level of dominance over a 10 year period will probably never be seen again.

There will always be the debate about whether Hendry or O'Sullivan is the greatest. It depends on people's view of what makes someone the best. Hendry dominated in the 90s, winning 7 World titles in a short space of time. You could argue that Ronnie is better, as he's been near his top form for 25 years, also winning 7 titles during that period. People will have their own views about whether winning so much in a short time is better than someone who takes 20 years to achieve the same. It's good that they both respect each other now.

steve should become a twitch streamer

He's smart for staying out of the snooker scene and by doing this, his Champ image always stay in our hearts. Unlike someone of his time, of course.

Steve was magnificent, Stephen though moved the game forward by opening the bunch up when potting reds - potting one then bouncing off the bunch to still be on the black. Previously the bunch was opened when potting the colour, leaving much more to chance. Stephen also potted his way out of trouble when apparently in a safe position time and time again. For me it's Stephen, not O'Sullivan, who's the GOAT.

Hello everyone I am loving the world championship it is a Shame Ronnie O'Sullivan is out but he well be back to clam jis 8th World Title I am sure I think Karen Wilson will when it my heart chakra says Karen Wilson will when it from the start but my head and belly emotion I am loving it tho I love snooker xx
