No one can deny Ronnie is the greatest but you also can’t deny hendry was an animal in the 90’s, a true master 👍
Ronnie is a genius all round but Hendry's play was absolutely autonomous & methodical. I think people forget how good he really was. I would love to know how much further he could have went if his cue didn't get smashed to bits, or if he kept the same enthusiasm for the game
^ 'As if' 😨. Aye, still Smoke & Drink, but never near Jan Verhaas etc. They didn't mind ole Hurricane Higgins necking Gin though! Bless him.😳
@@leighhills1👏'S
@@runenabled2145 doing that stuff is forbidden so don’t encourage it. Abstain from any form of drugs that inhibit the mind.
@@leighhills1 I think hendry was a genius himself. People go on about Ronnie been a genius and he is. Hendry changed the game. Long red straight into the pack no safety at all went for every pot. Didn’t see miss a ball in the middle pocket for what seemed like years. The cue getting smashed killed him. Imagine him in his pomp with the amount of tournaments they have now
But then he got old.
The vibe and atmosphere of the big tournaments in the 90s was so much better somehow. You could even feel it to an extent watching on tv. I find tournaments now have so little atmosphere or special feeling to them. Part of it is the way the arenas are all so tacky, plastered all over with online gambling ads. At least the cigarette companies put some real effort into making the arenas more stylish and grand. They didn't have about 50 of their brand logos everywhere. I think also more young players were driving the game at the very top and putting some real personality into it. Audiences seemed to really ROAR more often and possibly the commentators didn't talk over everything quite so much and were more soft-spoken. All these things served to draw your focus into the battle and emotion of a good match far more and the top tournaments also just had a far more bespoke and special design and feel to them.
Because back on the days they allow audience to really enjoy and express themselves when watching snooker, now they almost force the audience to stay like they're in a funeral... That's why shoot out event is special, still get this old tournament vibes, when snooker wasn't so snob
And if you see an late 70's or 80's game, players also allowed to smoke and drinks alcohol while they're playing 😅.
Somehow they're forgetting the origins of snooker, was invented to stay in that old English pubs and despite the controversy of the alcohol/, tobacco thing, the truth is that kind of the thing makes the game much more enjoyable to watch
Great take 🙏
Hendry was an absolute juggernaut. Nobody compares in my opinion, the way he dominated the game was just unmatched. Unfortunately before my time. I love that he still keeps his hand in now, and is still such a joy to watch/ listen to him in commentary
O'sullivan is the goat period. He's the best to ever pick up a cue and his longevity is astonishing. Hendry was good for 10 years, very good. O'sullivan has been good for 30 years and counting.
Ronnie é o maior gênio da sinuca na regra Inglesa.
@@LCFCV9 at one point Hendry reach a level higher than what Ronnie ever did and thats what make him the GOAT.When Ronnie himself tell Hendry is the GOAT i think you should all listen to what the maestro is saying.
I love watching young Ronnie. Not nearly the smarter player that he is now but boy could he long pot and hit shots with amazing power and confidence back then. Astonishing.
Mister bean
Before this Hendry had played in the masters 31 times and won 29. That's amazing
Alan McManus and Peter Ebdon were the people he lost to
@@richardsegal7869 1994 was only a last frame decider
And Ronnie still won it on more occasions
@@richardsegal7869 old angles McManus could fkin play on his day
@@PLayAshEFF72 Totally!
Ronnie is the world number 1 at 47. 147! How apt!
So much difference in Ronnie now , he played so careless there … so lucky to have him
Careless/Style
Was only a matter of time he's the greatest with 21 majors 39 ranking titles the most centuries and 147s keeping snooker relevant and on the front pages entertaining us for decades his longevity is legendary and will be his legacy and now going for 8 masters 🙄 and world number 1 at 47 🙏
1 at 47 would have a ring to it!
Credit where Credit is due - a maestro 👍
8 world crowns, only if he Dan avoid or beat Selby in the earlier rounds, dump out the top ten, and then a classic final against Jimmy White.
Cant see that happening but truly hope Jimmy gets to the crucible for one last Hurrah. Even Hendry, if he was to practice enough he is capable of qualifying for the WC. He just doesn't want to suffer an embarrassing defeat all over again.
I am surprised you have not updated it he has been winning by 10-7 in his last 3 wins , and going for ,888 and triple crown in April , there seems to be something in the stars .his snooker has been unbelievable like in a higher level ,higher gear longer in matches
Simply two of the greatest of all time. Anyone’s game and anyone’s match it come down to millimeters.
I just cant thank world snooker enough for all these. Thank you so much 🙏
Never really like Hendry as a player - but as a commentator - he is absolutely awesome... Humble and knowledgeable.
He always sulked when he was losing.
It makes you wonder why Ronnie O’Sullivan, with all his achievements and the fact that he made snooker what it is today, has not won Sports Personality of the Year
Worthless title now. Means nothing.
Only nonces win that award
Woke BBC
I reckon it's because his personality is elitist and full of hate ,he is the best snooker player in history but a complete whopper
That BBC award? 🤣 like that means anything to anyone 🤡
Man, that race to the green was incredible. I wish more snooker was like that.
Ronnie is so much better now, his match play especially and his safety game is one of the best in the world since around 2000 when he started working with Ray Reardon. The main reason he is world number 1 again and still playing so good. You could see how bad Stephens safety game was in this and was always a big weakness especially later on in his career. You never fancied him to win any scrappy or tactical frame with all the hard match players. Is is beyond any doubt what so ever only to a blind and negative Scotsman that Ronnie is the GOAT, Stephen is still in my top three of favourite players behind Ronnie and Selby though. What Ronnie is achieving in snooker winning triple crowns in 4 decades and being world number 1 in them and nearly 50 years old. He really is a freak of sport in any capacity, the guy is up there with Pele Ronaldo, Messi, Federer Nadal, Schumacher Phil Taylor in darts.
True that. All of it. But the young Ronnie’s powerful long potting was a thing to behold. He’s amazing.
Who's the blind and negative scotsman
Hendry's prime is superior to Selby's prime. At least Hendry wasn't slow, and he never sent people to sleep. A genius.
@@josiewallace7968 The only good match player Hendry faced in a WC final was Doherty in the 97 final and he lost convincingly and was out played. Doherty is not half the player Selby is and would have gave Hendry nightmares trust me!
και ΤΖΟΚΟΒΙΤΣ ΤΩΡΑ!!!
if Ronnie had hendrys mindset, his title count would be frightening
...but then he wouldn't be the Ronnie we know... : )
If my auntie had a dick, she'd be my uncle
Hendry, arguably is a more aggressive player than o sullivan. No dispute that ronnie is the GOAT though.
@@barrymurphy402 undoubtedly the goat 🐐
@@craigdavidmack the GOAT and the most stylish player also.
Two of the greatest for sure, no one can deny that fact, but Ronnie has become the greatest with his records, loved Hunter, too bad he did not have a chance to prove his Greatness.
nice shot on the final brown
Supreme confidence in his own ability. Quickly smacked it in without a thought.
What a shot from the final brown to blue. That’s some skill!
Ronnie 0sullivan is in my opinion the greatest snooker player of all time. 0f course Steve Davis and Stephen Hendry were up there as professional sportsmen who were both determined to succeed on the greenbaize they are all members of an exclusive club.
Controversial!
John Higgins is above Davis in titles
@@fizzhogg23 titles doesnt mean better... Hendry is the greatest of all time then Ronnie who is the most accomplished then Davis who saved snooker and was the greatest ambassador for the sport.
@mikescorpio13 hendry was the GOAT in his prime, but you can't say Ronnie isn't the GOAT he is still at the top of his game at 48 and has surpassed or equaled all Hendrys records (maybe not all id have to fact check that) Higgins is playing better at 48 than hendry did in his late 30s
If ronnie didn't suffer from mental health issues (watch his documentary), he would have 10+ world titles.
It was all about these two in the 90s. Hendry was the disciplined master of the craft and O'Sullivan the eccentric natural genius, often his own worst enemy. The golden age of snooker imo.
14:26 Bro tried to get a hand shake from Ronnie
Maybe he wanted the Cue
Quanta diferença o Ronnie quando mais jovem nem mirava direito e acertava kkkkkk é mesmo hj é o melhor jogador q eu vi ganhou técnica hj em dia ele busca a bola onde quer
Ronnie is the Best as he has proved over and over again but when he over cut the blue then just got the Yellow barely and rushed the green, i thought this has missed and he did by a mile. SO FAST even for him, in the safety at the end too, he was just getting down and hardly feathering and BANG, balls going everywhere, Hendry is so careful and measured and that ending could have gone either way very easily...
Hendry looked much younger with longer hair, from 1999 he started to look older
I wish black vertical panels were used on old footage rather than the blurred panels.
This video earned my subscription! ✌️
Great times. I loved Stephen very much, but sometimes thought he was a little bit slow player. Now what a pleasure to watch them both young and quite fast.
Surprising that he should beat Stephen Hendry and then lose to Steve Davis. Extraordinary that Steve Davis won the Masters more recently than Stephen Hendry. A travesty to seed Ronnie O'Sullivan 8 when he had been in the previous 2 finals, making these 2 meet in the quarter final. He should have been seeded 2.
shit ur right
What surprises me is that Davis only won the Masters 3 times.
БРАВО, РОННИ !!!! Обыграть Стивена Хендри --- это дорогого стоит !!!! Стивен Хендри до этого был 5 раз ЧЕМПИОНОМ МИРА !!!
Dos potencias y los dos geniales.
That brown in the middle 👌
The two masters at each other's throats ...what a finish by O'Sullivan the goat
Wow, look at how much cue there is from Ronnie's bridge hand to the cue ball, total contrast to today.
This was a true clash of the titans back in the day.Hendry was the man to beat for sure and ronnie was just getting into his stride...now hendry commentates on ronnies matches...how time changes things.
Two of the best to ever do it. There is hairs breadth between them
The pace is unbelievable...
The super clasico of the world snooker!!
What good revenge for lose one year before! The people loves ronny much before he had a name the rocket. And still 30 years later when he started more support have today. I am started warch a snooker like 10 years ago when ronny came in Slovenija 🇸🇮my little country and play friendly matches. Before I never see the snooker only biliard. And now I Don, t miss when ronny play and all his matches, records.... I love this guy and respect! The best is for me when he destroy shelby! 🇸🇮💪😂
The Rocket já mostrando para que veio! Is the best Ronnie O'sulivan!!!!
What a shot on that brown ball, outrageous.
Imagine Davis , white , Ronnie , Hendrie , Williams , hunter , all at their best
my Fav Players Ron & Steve!!
I remember watching this live I was 21 years old 😭 lol
Ronnie and I are the same age. I think about what I was doing at 17 and even my snooker game now at 47. It’s astounding
A wonderful calm expression - from each player - when they've left a possible winning position for their opponent, as though they hadn't made a mistake but that the 'gods' had made it happen. Calm when many would feel shame, and an expression of peace when most of us would panic! THIS i s what the modern use of the word "tight" is about! John.
Put that brown in no problem!what a shot that was👌
What a atmosphere
No doubt Ronnie is goat 💟💟
He's not! Hendry was better!
@@MaffeyZilog no way! Ronnie is the more natural player but to Hendry’s credit, he trained non stop (hard work) and deserved the titles.
For some reason that I don't know appears to me that the audience is getting quieter in our days.
The old guy just wanted a handshake at the end, C'mon guys, you can do that.
Hendry the iceman
Stephen is only 7 years older and retired, such a shame. Feels like he retired too early.
Ronnie’s cue action was so different back then.
hendry got balls to try to pot this green 2 great champions
That stage
Revenge is way too strong. These are professional snooker players. They know full well that you win some and you lose some. Personal feelings rarely come into it unless you are a bit of a dick as some players can be from time to time.
That brown pot 13.46, wow.
Hendry will always be the best & the main reasons why I got into snooker like thousands of others yes Ronnie's great but it's Hendrys all attack that does it for me just look at his 1st shot no thought whatsoever of anything but the pot
Great video's but again mirrors on the side is killing my eyes🥺
Молодые.
👍
Hendry - The Man with Balls
GOAT
India loves you!!!!
All over! Very nice Ronnie.🤗
How old were these two at this match?
Who witnessed this live are lukiest people
Yellowball viewers watch this channel because it is a thousand times better than Yellowball’s channel
When this Guy decides to put his cue away, can see snooker dying a little as the Rocket is why snooker is watchable,
And can just picture it when Stephen Hendry also lost his World Title the first time as his face soon dropped,
But got to be in it to win it as can't win them all, only the crowd,
Top class player
Ronnie shud have been on about 15 world titles if he had the stable life of sime of tbe other players like higgins, williams, hendry , trump etc
Hendry looks off it here and Ronnie seemed to want it more
สุดยอดมากครับ
Hendry is the greatest player of ALL TIME. Above Ronnie as well.
Ronnie seems like not aiming the ball
Jesus H Christ, to play that shot on 4:47, under that pressure, one has to have a massive pair of steel balls ...
What else could he have played? He had no choice
@@alexisherrera4687 Insert obvious answer here... a safety shot. 🤦♂️
13:36 After playing the EASY green, Ron deliberately raised the club rest in the air, waiting for the old referee to put it back.. .
14:17 definitely this old referee said something mean and nasty to Ron, making both players look so weird... .
🤣🤣😂
he played almost like he didn't care
Hendry & Ronnie. Nuff said.
Kadena is the fastest growing L1 PoW chain. KDA 🚀💯👍💰💎
I wonder if they have a drink after all of that
As it seems to be with all fields the current elite are there because they stand on the shoulders of giants. In tennis Nadal, Federer and Jockovich at their prime would beat Connors, McEnroe, Lendl, Sampras etc. at their prime but only because there was a Connors, McEnroe, Becker etc. before tham. Science is the same, and snooker greats of today would beat the Reardons, Alex Higgins, Steve Davis, and Hendry in their prime because those guys had their prime to push the sport forwards.
Fair play but Stephen show he had guts to try that cut in. And like boxing old one take over. But I still say Steven packed up 2 early.
11:33 Hendry should’ve gone for Green.
too close to green
I guess you could say hindsight is 2023
Had Ronnie's dad not gone to prison...or his mum too, I'm sure he would have won the World title in the 90s...and more.
@ebell kwontol He's admitted it himself that after his dad was jailed he just went out partying etc from1995 , foe five years. He was always good enough. He just needed to mentally grow up.
Que horror de público. Gritaban en todos los tiros. Que pesados!!!! Terribles
Potting balls off the lampshade, the pair of them!
Ah 1997, the Steve Davis swansong!
Hendry's safety play wasn't as great as his breakbuilding
Agree, I think Hendry was great in all aspects of the game, but overall safety play was his weakness
Peter ebdon was a master of the game in his day ,ronnie shit on him over and over again as he was more traditional and its a measure of the man thar ronnie is ,a genius but also a twunt.
14:52
Didn't Hendry go on to defeat O'Sullivan in the world championship 2000, setting a record for the number of centuries. I saw that match.
They both went out in the 1st round, Ronnie to David Gray and Hendry to Ballrun Bingham
@richardsegal7869 He's thinking of 2002.
What the fuck are you rambling on about. Both eggheads crashed out in the first round that year.
Hendry had to much pride and that was his downfall. He refused to get help with his game in any form and ended up retiring too early. Player like ronnie looked for extra help throgh ray readon for example. Hendy felt as tho he was so good that no one could help him in any way.
Pride? Hendry actually said recently that he regrets getting as much help as he did because in the end he wasn't sure which coach to listen to when taking a shot. Higgins said it was strange that Hendry got coaches in when his game was natural and he never understood why he did.
Hendry's downfall is likely because he was so dialled into snooker in the 90s over everything else and burned himself out. Ronnie obviously was very different and maybe we see that in his longevity.
I see Hendry followed him down very fast. Is it true they had a punch-up downstairs?
Doubt it
Yeah right.
Titans....
Give opportunities to young people to advance
Hendry 1996 v Ronnie 2022 who would win?
Depends which Ronnie turns up. Hendry always had just one personality..an animal on the table. 2012 Ronnie would win.
@@runenabled2145 stick to corrupt pakistanky cricket.
Ronnie 2022 isn't even close at his own best, but could probably win. Depends on the mood he woke up with..
@@amajeet Pro tip. Racism doesn’t win arguments. In fact, it makes people look ignorant. But heck, if the shoe fits…
Rocket
FC Hendry.
Ronnie was hungry
shouldn't the referee Replace the yellow ball 9:03
ولد لكي يصبح سيد هذه اللعبة
I wouldn't say he got revenge more like a consolidation. A prime hendry was someone who imo ronnie just couldn't play against because of how much a animal he is.
