This channel is absolutely unreal. Please, please keep going at it.
Agreed,excellent content
up the celts
Only downside is Hendry being a blue nose 😂. Great channel as you said!
@@ADEOLADEEBO he’s a jambo
100% not seen nuffin like this. Stephen hendry official. Need get higgins on show.
At 24:25 Neil forgot that he has to play a red ball because he played the blue before.He played the black after the blue.He was more focused on the conversation:))
yeap. I also noticed XD
I noticed that too
Yeah I was thinking to made a comment but u did that , obviously Neil too focus on the conversation 😂
It would be funny if Hendry called him out. Sorry mate that's a foul where I come from.
@@georgesotiriou7051 Stephen must have missed it, he would take that 7 all day long
After Steve Davis and Jimmy White, it is great to see another legend like Stephen still being active in the snooker world after his retirement from competitions.
Stephen blew them both out the water
@@jourdontempleton8771 took the game to a different level brung the more aggressive attacking snooker we see now… it was pick the loose ones off and then open them ..he was the first one that opened the pack as quick as possible and he was very good at it obviously different class in his prime
Jimmy White legend ?
@@NNC93 Tony Knowles was the first to develop that shot!
@@patrickkelly7085 His impact on the sport is undeniable. If we go by strict bean counting then sure, we can perhaps revoke the accolade, but it would be a shame for a handful of frames to be the basis on which to do so.
Stephen asks the right questions and talks about the game in real terms ,so much more interesting than the tv pundits asking the same question over and over again in the studio .Loving the channel,keep it up
Would be nice if he didn’t cut him off all the time though…
Definitely. The TV presenters have never picked up a cue in there life. Stephen is a natural presenter and should be like Match of the day Lineker but for snooker
@@jeffroberts3535apart from the fact Stephen is absolute class and Liemaker is a complete prick I totally agree. I get your drift though.
“he’s a fair weather supporter,he ditched me for O’Sullivan”-lmao!
Stephen has a way of telling a story that makes me laugh.
That was awesome! I want a longer episode now... That means one thing: you simply HAVE TO do an episode with Peter Ebdon! 2 frames. 2 hours. 😁
Peter Ebdon has no place in this sport, lacking skill and choosing to psychological grind someone down doesn’t make for a spectators sport!
@@Handless_handle In his prime though, he was a good player. He would often find entries to attack from opponents safety plays by hitting very difficult shots. Once his potting declined though, he basically resorted to the grind. Not against the rules, but not that great to watch.
A peter ebdon best of 3 would be at least a 5 episode series
@@Ownedyou disagree hugely, he lacked agile skill and took to emotional control, a terrible and distasteful player in my
Opinion
You're a glutton for punishment...
I could listen to this conversation all day. Neil is so down to earth and an exceptional player
Mmm very intresting and personal interview. Found it very useful to hear how you both understood and executed your practice sessions. Quality content 👍🏼. I'm hoping this channel is not abandoned like so many pros have done before. Snooker in the UK and world needs a quality YT channel.
Good point.
Neil potting the black after the blue he potted at 20:30 😂
I can see why that happened
I always back Neil and he is so enjoyable to watch play.
Hello from Newcasle Australia
I'm a Newcastle United fan in English Premier League
G'day mate! Throw another shrimp on the barbie
I guess Bingtao will be doing a lot more solo practice now that he has been suspended 🤣
Brilliant video but Robertson potted a blue and then you two spoke about the crucible then he potted a black so 1-1 draw?😂
i love how neil potted the blue, then talked just long enough for everyone to forget he was on a red… then potted the black :). ( another great interview! loving this channel )
Having the camera move around so you get the perspective of being there and observing the shots is what is special. You can learn a lot more this way. Try to get more input about what the player is attempting with the cue ball and how close they come.
Good comment! Definitely Agreed about the camera... wonder if that was their intention or just the practicality.
Neil is for me top 5 most gifted player all time. Should have more silverware. Hopefully he can grab a few more 💪🏽
He's won loads of silverware but he should have more than 1 world title because he's that good
Hi Stephen. The best snooker TH-cam channel around at the moment. Don't give up on it please.
Hendry such a humble bloke considering he was easily the best snooker player of his generation and maybe even of all time? Also, absolutely love it when he's commentating! He really elevates any game he's commentating on with his passion and insight! Must be hard going from being the best to struggling to make a 50 break but the guy is pure class about it! Someone to learn from!
I'd say Hendry is the GOAT, though Ronnie will pass him this year. He is a great ambassador for the sport though, no doubt about that!
@@Ownedyou out of curiosity, why is hendry the current GOAT for you?
@@jaketew2032 Titles and overall career. Ronny has the same number of World's but he has to one up to really overtake. Which he will.
@@Ownedyou yeah fair play. I think it’s pretty tight personally but lean towards Ronnie just because of the way he plays the game, don’t think anyone else could do it the way he can
@@Ownedyou Ronnie has more titles than Hendry - apart from world championships where they’re tied.
I love how Hendry waits to ask a question while Neil takes a shot
HI, from Brazil Hendry, I´m your fan!!!!
Can you get Ronnie or Jimmy White on? Would be good to see Jimmy talk about the pain you inflicted on him! 😆😉
24:24 foul, Stephen Hendry 7.
watching Hendry play didn't think he would be one of the best or best in the commentary box and interviews but he is
I'm liking this channel. Very good, Stephen (from an old Canadian snooker player.)
This channel is amazing, Hendry is a blessing for snooker.
Hendry to me is the legend of snooker. Loving this channel.x
This is something Hendry needed to do a long time ago but better late than never from the Snooker legend.The greatest long Potter under pressure I've ever seen in Snooker was Mr.Hendry and he proved how good he can still be still at the beginning of the second frame where he pots the long red and takes the 2 reds away from the black landing perfect on it and he called it before taking the shot.
Stephen Stephen this is such a treat, as long as I've watched snooker you're one of the most inspirational players and I really love this behind the scenes casual chatting over shots great production mate from an American snooker player to you thank you
just watching Stephen Hendry makes me remember the VHS days and puts a big smile on my face always a legend
Ha, all forgot about that,! Tape the tv broadcast, come home, rewind the tape, and then the crazy quality of those tapes playing them 😆
Probably one of the best snooker episodes I've ever seen. I'm 54 and watched a shit-ton of snooker, but this is just right. A couple of snooker legends having a really interesting natter over a table. Amazing content. Hendry the relentless WC winning machine vs Hendry the affable pundit - are they the same person!? 😉
i always support the underdog in any sports competition. I recall Hendry saying the opposite that he supports the favorite which took me back a bit. :-) Is that what makes a champion? I therefore expected an arrogant sort of bloke but the exact opposite. Modest even self effacing and still willing to learn from others. No longer that seemingly aloof win at all costs teenage champion but a pleasure to watch/listen to him interview the other champs. Thanks!
I have seen 3 of these now, really enjoyable. Great idea, bravo, keep them coming.
I’m quite a relaxed follower of snooker but enjoyed this very much. Thank you.
These two enjoyed each other's company immensely. So nice to see great players outside of tournament play.
You need to do this with every pro, fantastic insight to how they are. Brilliant video Stephen 👏🏻
This is AMAZING, few frames and a good chat with Stephen Hendry, every snooker a fans dream come true.
Greetings from Ukraine! Thank you for this channel! It’s like a dream come true! Don’t stop!❤
💙💛
Hi Stephen you are doing a great job. I really like your channel. I love to see when you interview ronnie o'sullivan. Please do it as early as possible.
Stephen Hendy is the GOAT , no one will ever change the sport like he did
Tee hee.
@@johnmc3862 why u giggling like a wee lassie 😂
Great channel really happy you started it SH! When Neil was on 12 he potted the blue, then the black with the rest! Anywayz 2 amazing snooker players 😄
A big reason lots of kids aren’t coming through or are taking it up is cost, most of the clubs are pricing the youngsters out; a local to me is 8.50 an hr.
Aside from being wonderful snooker players, Stephen Hendry and Steve Davis have something else in common. Perhaps because of their single-minded dedication to the game in their glory years, they came across as somewhat taciturn. Then when they got older they loosened up and became such engaging characters. It’s funny how that often happens in sport. Great channel.
Imagine walking in with your mates for a quick game on a Tuesday afternoon and you see the 7 times world champion and the number 2 ranked player in the world....Oh ! HA
This channel is fantastic. There are obviously loads of professionals that I'd like to see on here, but my request would be to interview & play the guy from the 'break from life' channel. He's not a pro & might be a bit of a mystery man, but he's made some great videos and I'd be really interested to hear his story.
You're getting very good at this interviewing lark! So interesting to hear how Neil approaches his practice and tournaments. And he's such a nice guy - justified confidence rather than arrogance.
Great channel Stephen. There's still an aura in the room when you step back and step into your shot. I think your media work is really classy too, great relaxed style, perfect delivery, great stuff, I'm really enjoying your channel. I like Ronnie, but for me, your domination in the 90s is unparalleled in the sport, many thanks for the brilliant entertainment.
Great content as always. Can we please have Jimmy White on soon 👍
Huge fan of this new channel. Looking forward to future content! I really hope Hendry visits Higgins, Maguire, Dott and McGill at their small private club
Brilliant channel, so simple but well done and just what snooker needs in my opinion, a glimpse behind the curtain of virtuosity.
Wonderful to see a bit of snooker banter and looking forward to future guests. Relaxed vibe and even longer if players could handle that. Great guest would be ebdon for the psychology, get the older greats on first like Jimmy and Steve whilst they're still mobile!
Love these videos mate, keep em coming Stephen and 👍
Good content Stephen keep this going 👍
Stephen, you will have to line up John Higgins and Ronnie O'Sullivan, and also do Jimmy White and the Nugget. Cheers from Australia, loving your channel.
These interviews are brilliant and what we’ve needed as fans for a longtime
Potting the black after the blue 🤦🏻♂️
I'd avoided these videos for a while, for no particular reason other than I suspected they'd not be particularly interesting. This is the fourth one now that I've watched over the last two days - very much more interesting than I'd imagined, and it's nice to get some insight into the players away from their professional environment. I've no doubt I shall be watching more, thanks for setting this series up.
Quality video 100% Hendry is the man from my county in Scotland Quality bloke met him as a kid at undisclosed golf course in perthshire humble very nice man. True ambassador for the sport great champion great commentator😎👍🏴🏴
I think this is in terms of learning the minds of greatest, helps a lot. Content of this sort is really appreciated. And the way Stephen has an insight and wanting an insight from other players very much helpful.
please do more of these, love it !!
Great video,
Aussie Aussie Aussie 🇦🇺😎
Amazing work, truly amazing...❤ love to see players on their practice table. please include questions about players equipments i.e. their cues (cue tip size, cue manufacturers, cue weight and size etc), whats kind of chalks do they use or prefer.
its really awesome, wonderful and lucky for us to know more about our favorite players and their snooker life on this platform.
Did anyone notice Neil pots the blue at 20:45.. gets into his chat.. then pots the black at 24:24 without potting the red, and neither of them notice :).. They really enjoyed their chat lol
Ya I just noticed that lol
Loving your channel, Stephen. Keep the videos coming
Anyone notice Robinson went blue black 😂
@@nathanlaux6770 Robertson not Robinson.
This was so watchable, I just watched all of it without thinking, thank you for this!
Loving these videos! Excellent to hear more about todays crop of top player’s straight from their own mouths in such a casual way. Brilliant way to see more of their personality over a couple of frames, having a chat with one of snookers all time greats. Long may these continue 🤙🏼
Luv 'em too!!
Robertson potter blue, then black. Distracted from the chat and everyone missed it.
Stephen Neil two of the greatest players of all time 💯 facts
Neil's one of my favorite players, but I must admit, I expected him to be more bothered by his poor record at the Crucible than he is. I'm not sure this attitude helps him.
I'd wager that if Ronnie had only got to the one-table setup once in 13 years, he'd have retired or looked to make major changes to his game to try and improve. And that certainly goes for Stephen as well.
Makes you wonder whether if it had bothered him more, he would've made changes that might have helped him win more.
Cant get enough of these brilliant videos, keep up the great work stephen cant wait for the next one
Stephen and John Virgo are commentary legends together, Stephens experience and John's "commentators eye" are the best pairing on TV......
Virgo is totally overrated as a commentator.
@@johnmc3862 I'll admit he's getting on a bit now, but when the players hear and see the audience laughing out of context, they know old JV is on the mic.....
Great partnership
Just want to say thanks to both Neil and Stephen for the video. It was really insightful to hear Neil's take on solo Vs friendly matches.
Love this thanks Stephen and team!
Snooker YT done right 👍Keep up the good work Stephen
Loving hendry’s content 👍👌
Would love to see you fish Stephen Lee out for a little chat
Stephen this content is top draw brilliant channel!
My two favourite players of All time.!
Sharing their views and enjoying a yarn.
Awesome video.
Thank you Stephen.
I only wish Stephen worked on his personality ,,more he's like a mop and bucket ,,he would make an excellent Hearst driver 😳
Nobody notice about 24 mins Robertson potted the black after the blue probably because of how long they were talking shite beforehand
Loving these vids Stephen mate keep em up the only bad point I would say is that I wish they were longer pal 😉😂
Hiya Stephen, I was always a Stephen fan, where as my Nanna was a Jimmy White fan, do your 2 sons play snooker? and to a high level?
Absolutely loving these videos! Really great video! Brilliant to see different angles when you guys are down on the shot, helping me with stance!
Can I just say it because you deserve it: your videos are absolutely amazing. I wasn’t much of a fan of yours when you were a player (you seemed to cold and Nordic). But obviously, part of that you were too good while I was cheering for Ronnie & Neil. The videos and your new passion - really fun to watch from beginning to end. If you ever come to Kazakhstan - the hotel and flights are on me.
"Too Nordic"? Well you've just made a load of fans in the whole of the Scandinavian subcontinent...
Don't watch snooker content, not subscribed to any snooker channels, yet somehow YT recommended this to me which is nuts given its my old local spot 😅
I grew up supporting Jimmy white and hate Steve David as he was dominant then Stephen came along and became the greatest player of his generation and then Ronnie the Rocket who makes up my 3 favourite players of all time , great channel subbed !
Such a shame Willie Thoirnes went under. Used to love playing there when i was in high school, such a great venue and his brother who ran the place was great too.
I've never really heard many interviews with Neil but he comes across as a really nice guy. I was amazed as he came over here alone at the tender age of 16
This is a ridiculous channel iv not watched snooker for a while Neil Robertson is a killer potter
Did anyone notice Neil potted blue then he pot black 😂, he didn’t take pot red before black, 26:14
Loved this. Honestly didn't feel like it was over 30 minutes long.
I’m loving these vids, so refreshing to hear interviews like this rather than the post game punditry interviews. Well done Stephen !
Neil wearing a beanie means he hasn’t dyed and straightned his hair😂
Great content Champ! please keep doing more episodes of this series
I come here for Hendry and get other players as a Bonus. This is a great initiative.
these are so good, theyre re-watchable, im starting to watch some for a second time! hey guys!
These videos are great!
20.31 robertson pots a blue then after a while chatting he pots the black after, when he was on a red 😂
Stephen might have lost but he played the two best shots!
I never expected this TH-cam career and even less expected to be completely hooked on it 😂
Excellent content.Reminds me of when I was a little kid sitting in the pool room listening to the adults talk and play snooker. except you guys know what you're talking about. You signed my cue when you and Jimmy White visited Toronto back before the pandemic. Still have to show it to the guys I play with.
Snooker has been needing this channel
