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:))
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.
@@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
@@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
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
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!
@@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
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.
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 )
The best video on you tube, thumbs up to Stephen, a natural interviewer, great insight into the players, and snooker, in general, never miss a new show.
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!? 😉
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
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.
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.
@@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.
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!
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😎👍🏴🏴
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.
Great banter, as an expat living in Barcelona and having watched snooker from being a kid, It really ia a breath of fresh air watching this, absolutely epic!
Lucky enough to have watched Neil practise with his dad Ian at Cuesports in Knox city in Melbourne (was an interesting place I’m sure people who went there back in the day would know). Ian also nice enough to give me some coaching there when I was hanging around meant to be in school. Got a cheeky game of pool with Neil when his dad went to get lunch sometimes
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.
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.
I love the way Stephen get so much good chat out of the players, they seem very relaxed with him and it makes for brilliant interviews. You just don't see snookers players in this way. Great channel
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!
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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 😄
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
@@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.....
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.
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.
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 🤙🏼
Another great watch. Thank you to Steven and the team! I really would like to see more of these with the top players but also with some of the younger players coming through too. Absolutely brilliant stuff!
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.
This video was not harmed by the fact the Neil is rather easy on the eyes. Also seems a likeable guy. Thanks also for asking some tough questions. Your subjects don’t need to spill their guts, but they do need to be human. Good stuff.
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!
100% not seen nuffin like this. Stephen hendry official. Need get higgins on show.

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

@@jeffroberts3535apart from the fact Stephen is absolute class and Liemaker is a complete prick I totally agree. I get your drift though.

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.
These two enjoyed each other's company immensely. So nice to see great players outside of tournament play.
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.
I always back Neil and he is so enjoyable to watch play.

G'day mate! Throw another shrimp on the barbie

This is AMAZING, few frames and a good chat with Stephen Hendry, every snooker a fans dream come true.
The best video on you tube, thumbs up to Stephen, a natural interviewer, great insight into the players, and snooker, in general, never miss a new show.
Hi Stephen. The best snooker TH-cam channel around at the moment. Don't give up on it please.
watching Hendry play didn't think he would be one of the best or best in the commentary box and interviews but he is
Hendry to me is the legend of snooker. Loving this channel.x
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 😆
This channel is amazing, Hendry is a blessing for snooker.
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!? 😉
“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.
This was so watchable, I just watched all of it without thinking, thank you for this!
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
This is great for us overseas folks who only discovered snooker the last few years. It really helps us get to know the players
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.
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.
These interviews are brilliant and what we’ve needed as fans for a longtime
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...

Brilliant. I hope Stephen interviews all the players. It shows a different side to them and it's interesting how they approach their game.
Great videos seeing pros perspective into the game that isn't the typically TV interview.
I come here for Hendry and get other players as a Bonus. This is a great initiative.
Hendry was about an inch away from the black spot at 29 minutes! Loved this!
Very enjoyable to see you guys talking and playing.
these are so good, theyre re-watchable, im starting to watch some for a second time! hey guys!
Thanks Stephen another great chat with Neil Robertson love it!
Snooker has been needing this channel
Stephen Neil two of the greatest players of all time 💯 facts
Loved this interaction. Always routed for Neil, so it's great to see him relating to an all-time great like Stephen Hendry.
Neil Robertson's my favourite player. Great interaction between two legends.
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.
