I nearly achieved a 147 a couple of weeks ago, but I missed the first red.
I went in off the first red :(
kkkkkk
How did you nearly archive a 147 then
They had us in the first half... not gonna lie
Hahaha
I think people forget how devastatingly Good he was .what a player
And more boring than Steve Davis....
@@phereww haha no chance!
@@christopherbifolchi1799
He acted like a robot in order to win?
It's called being a professional
@@Paul-sl9zm Grab a tissue and don’t be soft. It was a compliment. Hendry has been my favourite snooker player for nearly 30 years.
Why I'd he so bad now
This is my favourite maximum, really great control. Out of position a few times but recovered each time. Coolness personified.
lol coolness
“I got to the Crucible having flown to China and back, with one day there to meet my new employers. Somehow, the 147 came about. It was amazing because, of the 36 shots, only six were played properly. My game had debilitated so far it was mostly shots I wasn’t hitting properly. I’d given every shot a pint of blood to get it in the pocket. The outsider was probably saying, ‘That’s amazing.’ Inside, it felt horrible.”
Didn’t he say later he hated it as about only 5 shots he liked. Sounds like something he’d say as he’s so meticulous 😂
@@jhkk1269 - That quote says so much about Hendry. Both how he was able to dominate the game of Snooker in the 90's and change the level of competition in the sport, and how when his confidence finally faltered, he was rarely ever able to catch back up.
@@jhkk1269it’s true when you watch his action here it looks like he’s throwing his cue at some of the shots but it just worked cause of all these years of playing he came through. magical player
Hendry presided over the longest period of domination in the modern era of snooker.
It was impossible to carry on at that level forever but I'm glad I got to see it first hand.
The red into the middle at 1.23 signalled his intention. Must've fancied the 147 a few shots before it. Legend.
Ronnie fancied and claimed a 147 on the first red when he asked the referee the prize money for a maximum. And he went onto making a 147. The absolute goat. Ronnie is the greatest ever.
@@alirehman1741 yeah so great that you feel the need to be defensive in a video that doesn't involve him
@@bd3531 I've never understood people getting pissed off when it comes to ronnie, people defend him so much and feel the need to put others down to bring him up - but I think they are both fantastic. I play at an amateur level and I'm absolute shit, 99.99999% of people couldn't come close to these guys
Loved watching Hendry as a kid in the 90s.
Me too, he was my childhood idol, and still kind of is.
My mum's favourite snooker player is Stephen Hendry :-)
Perfect new for these troubled times , the king is back, long live the king !
[2012]
@Reddan Jones yeshua
You’re confused that’s not a clip of Sir Ronnie O’Sullivan - he’s the king of this sport after myself.
Get with the programme
King Delevingne you haven’t heard the news have you...
The goat , hendry one of the reasons I played snooker in the clubs , great you tube videos aswell to teach us how to play the game or improve our game. Respect for this 147 aswell legend !
Ronnie is the GOAT 🐐
@@Nige.
Ronnie got destroyed tonight 6-0 by Mark Selby 😂
Goat? 😂😂😂😂😂
@@Paul-sl9zm Ronnie probably couldn’t be arsed... it was only the players championship. Look at ranking titles, career centuries or 147s; Ronnie’s is objectively the greatest. 😘
@@Paul-sl9zmso what? Hendry got destroyed 9-0 by Marcus Campbell in 1998 😂😂
@user-cd7vw1zf6c
Hendry was sick with covid that night
Weirdly, the anticipation of the audience, their shared nervousness and the eruption of joy for this giant when he potted 147 brought tears my eyes! I remember being glued to the telly whenever he played! Nerves of steel indeed. And he's back I saw. what a pleasure to watch!
And me
I was chopping onions
Which was rather exciting...
S H is the most boring player ever
Even as a commentator....
Good player but Dull and lacking any personality...... Got any wet paint you want watching dry......
Still my favourite player of all time
Hendry was one of THE finest players the game has ever produced.
Hendry wins 10 titles without the yips. And as for those saying he was boring, he was the master of combining attacking snooker with break building. He had the sure-footedness of Davis but was far more devastating at his peak.
Agree, people tend to mix up ruthless with boring.
He was damn good being "boring" and I loved it back in the 90's.
Hendry was the Man.
Had Ronnie's number. On many occasions.
Hendry’s the Gaffa . In his prime he was the strongest match player of all time and in my opinion has the best cue action I’ve ever seen , some say Murphy’s cue action but not for me …. Hendry is the Guvnor
His personality was considered boring cos he wanted to have that intimidating aura, but his snooker was the opposite of boring! Probably one of the most aggressive players of all time.
One of the best player in snooker history Ronnie and hendry ❤
This man was great..he is my idol.
TSN in Canada started up....in the 80's. They played a ton of snooker. I watched him even back then as the 'longball magician' (thats my description from then)
Glad he's back.
Personally I think that Hendry and Ronnie at their prime vs each other would have been a toss up. Ronnie's the most natural but Hendry was so technically precise and also the best middle potter I've ever seen.
Hendry is also the most cut-throat, ruthless winning machine snooker has ever seen. The finals against Jimmy White with the whole crowd against him and he still won.
@@jackriver1999 Yep Jimmy will always be my man but agree.
@@jackriver1999 tbf though Hendry looked so gutted for Jimmy in '94
I am a bit curious what people mean by "most naturally gifted" versus "technically precise". Aren't they one and the same? If not, what is the difference exactly?
@@sreethoz - Hendry was a perfectionist and judging from his weight gain after he stopped competing (not that he's morbidly obese now, but he was quite thin back then), I've always assumed he centered his entire life around his profession. Can't fault him for that and it's why he was good for as long as he was, but contrast that to Ronnie.
Ronnie won his first Triple Crown in 1993, but wouldn't win World's for another eight years. He was controversial, both of his parents did prison time, was known to party, and despite winning two major titles in the 90's, he wouldn't fall into a groove until the 2000's. He's never been as consistent as Hendry at his best, yet he's managed to keep winning titles over the span of 30 years and has not just the first or second fastest 147's, but the top three fastest maximums. That he was able to get his last World title at the age of 46 is in SHARP contrast to Hendry, who criticized his own 147 in 2012.
Hendry was surely naturally gifted as well, but the contrast between the two lends Ronnie to look a lot more natural between the two.
I've heard some cheers before for a maximum, but that was hairs on the back of the neck stuff. Quality Hendry!
Brilliant. Cant quite work out why 19 people have given this a thumbs down. Obviously not real snooker fans. Some people really need to grow up.
In the 90s he was the greatest. People only talk about Ronnie and forget how great this man was. If he not a Scott the English media would have said he to be the GOAT. But for me he is the GOAT.
He was the professional of them all. People say Ronnie but I disagree. Ronnie is the greatest talent wise but not a professional sportsman his contempt for the sport and the WPBSA is undeniable rightly or wrongly but he has shot himself in the foot so many times. Hendry was all in the greatest professional no pouting or childishness he knew when he lost it was his own fault. Never blamed anyone for being in his eyeline like a child or walking off a match because he needed a sniff Hendry was the real deal!
Sad to read all these comments below from muppets arguing over Hendry and Ronnie's acomplishments, even though they are both good friends and admire each other greatly.
Well said. Very different characters and players but one things for sure, if both were at their absolute best, its one hell of a match for us fans.
Ronnie will never be the player that Hendry or even Davis was. They had total domination over their prime. Ronnie has never had anything close to that
@@neiljohnston8497 A true statement, however... the quality of the opposition during the 80s and 90s were nowhere near as good as the likes of Judd Trump, Selby, prime Higgins, Ding Jung Hui etc
BUT saying that again during Hendry's prime in the 90s Ronnie, Higgins, recent champion Williams were all there all arguably at the start of their prime years and Hendry did keep them in check, if there was a match between O'Sullivan at his very best against Hendry at his best I have a feeling over a best out of 33 or 35 like the world semi final and final I would say Hendry would edge it due to his machine like consistency and we had a taster of such matches at the 1999 and 2002 world semi finals when Hendry and Ronnie traded century after century but both times it was Ronnie who eventually cracked and Hendry took both wins, you could say during those years Hendry was at the end of his peak and Ronnie at the start of his prime years.
@@1010thechamp Ronnie, Higgins and Williams at the start of their prime years? They didn't even turn professional till 92 😂😂
@@PNorm Yeah and your point is? Going by that analogy Hendry turned pro in 1985 and was world champion by 1990 so 5 years later starting his prime which was throughout the 90s... Higgins, Williams and O'Sullivan turned pro in the early 90s and was world champion by 1998, 2000 and 2001 respectively so start of their prime and took them longer than Hendry to be world champion after turning pro, what's so unusual about reaching your prime 8-10 years agree turning pro? The only problem for Hendey for whatever reason he dropped off after 2002 even though ok occasions can still produce a 147 like this in his 'retirement' year. If he hadn't of lost consistency I'm the 2000s we would be looking at a 10-12 time world champion.
Great player, superb gentleman, Hendry, even when to get retired 👏👏👏 👍
The greatest Legend 👍👍👍
He makes it look so simple 😀 absolute class 👍
it doesn't look simple at all
And the legend leave with a 147 💪🏽
My snooker legend Hendry-we miss him at the snooker table
who is the beautiful refere
@@riderw46 Nonce
Great to see the greatest ever is coming back.
I was so excited when i get the news of his returning. After Ronnie's winning of his 6th word championship I joked on twitter that Stephen would feel angry for losing his another record, and he would think about coming back to the table. And now that's it.😂
@Reddan JonesSurely it's obvious but his returning means a lot to snooker and people loving this sport. He had made his kingdom. Now it's enjoying time to this old king.
Ронни никуда и не уходил
Get back practising. Great meeting you at Motherwell last week with my boy Alistair
My absolute fave player. Just loved watching him play
Check out his TH-cam channel. It's great.
@@CasperLD i will look it up. Thank u
Stephen Hendry best snooker player of all time
not any more
After Ronnie
Ronnie is lol
Great effort from one of the masters. Still got it and great to see what it meant for him.
The snooker legend that is Steven Hendy. Ruthless in his day . 7 world titles and many others says it all. 👏👏👏
Can't believe it took another 9 years to see a maximum at the crucible again.
Who would’ve known that:
- He would retire in the same tournament
- This would be the last maximum before a crucible crowd for 10 years
- His opponent would become World Champion
He had nothing left to prove, there just wasn't anything egging him on to do better. He passed Davis in 99 then just went off for a stroll turning up for those cheques hanged around with all the ones who struggled to beat him then they started to beat him lol Can't stand the one on YT that say Hendry is washed up and he had a weak era and the rest. It's not helping he's hardly practicing on his comeback he's overweight drinks smokes etc so will be at 60% max if he REALLY wanted to get bk to the crucible even just to qualify he would need to hit 80/90% of his peak younger self as 80/90% Hendry would still reach a Q final but he would really need all his time practicing to hit 90%+ but has other commitments and his health, so yeah 80% is a gd target the 60% he's doing now will only win him the odd game here and there not gd enough and he knows it! 👍
@@L1ghtOn3 Is that the only thing that motives players? To prove something?
I'm not challenging that. Genuinely curious. Isn't love of the game and competition with peers enough to keep a player interested?
@@NR-rv8rz To answer your Q, yes all of the above, sometimes many factors come into play but my reasons for these replys like this is I think you might want to go bk and read ALL my comments, some guy and usually Hendry videos always talking trash, so most likely I'm replying to him. The respect of a lot of people towards Hendry is ridiculous for what he was and still is a Legend. When someone like that comes on to a video calling Hendry washed up and Osullivan this and that, yeah il say something in response to them. For me I just like coming bk watching old videos especially from someone as gd as Hendry, or if I'm warching Osullivan I don't speak about him the way people speak about Hendry on his videos. That's pretty much YT for you people see a response to someone and think they are on their high horse etc when passing judgement, tbh most of the time I can't be bothered with it, other times I'm like na this guys an idiot coming on these videos calling a player I watched grow up who was absolutely brilliant be mocked and called everything under the sun and they are spouting facts about how many this and that blah blah blah nonsense, absolutely no respect whatsoever, so yeah you've prob seen one of my mid response bk to some idiot. I prefer to get on with people tbh, this world is falling apart fast, but yeah sometimes I just have enough and say how I feel, pretty one guy just goes on all Hendry videos and talks shit about him for no reason and spouts Ronnie this and Ronnie that, all the while calling Hendry washed up and crap etc, the guys a fool that trolls people on Hendry videos that are only trying to watch someold classics and positive chat on here...well most of the time until he shows up or another hendry hater, at least most people on YT videos are civilised...at least I think so lol. Peace ✌
He is really a good potter, better than any of the players when he is on form, but only a cueball control master can get 100% potting success rate, just like basketball, only slam dunk can get you points easily. That is why people's always say Ronnie is better, because his potting rate will be higher compare to Stephen Hendry.
@@peaktongtan9768 It's not clear who you are talking about here? Why is it always they were really good potter(Hendry I assume) but master cue ball control gives 100% pot rate(Ronnie I assume) Just to go along with you since you guys never really can just shake hands and go yeah Hendry was best then, Ronnie is best now, it's no no Ronnie is the best? Ok so what if his potting is NOT as gd as Hendrys? Then it doesn't matter how good his MASTER ball control(you guys are funny considering snooker is many things like not getting out of snookers will not give you 100% even with MASTER CONTROL) So....get in clear the frame if not a lot of players will put the ball bk up the table away from the reds but Hendry could mostly( I'd say 99.9% lol just teasing) pot the long red or color and go on to control the ball as well. Yes Ronnie is a fantastic ball controller but Hendry on form was really hard to play against as he just got in and demolished the balls it was hard to play against. Like I've already just said earlier, more respect for the players and the game so many great players so many great games played, Hendry is a Legend for what he did and all Ronnie fans can do is mock him and push stats and oh he better this n that well yeah you could say that about a lot of the snooker players a lot are being modest and now Ronnie has 7 WC they are sealing the deal yeah he's best blah blah blah but tbh there have been some whirlwinds in the past just because they never reached Hendrys ir Osullivans 7 WC they were fantastic with the ball so yeah easy to say someones better when they have been on the circuit for 30 years! Ronnie Osullivan is the most consistent players ever at the top, but to me not thee best, to me Hendry was better in his prime, Ronnie is fantastic don't get me wrong but he knows he wants no.8, Why? Because he still wants to prove he's better! Well yeah give most people with his talent theyd most likely get 8 or more. Hendry as many have said did NOT have this luxury it was taken from him psychologically but he still trooped on and did commentary, so give the guy a break and a bit more respect, Ronnies earned but so has Hendry. ✌
brilliant 147 break. the world's BEST snooker player ever. THE BEST.
This is the real best ever!,,,,, and he done it all in 10 yrs... living legend
He was literally unstoppable
Ronnie is
@@HassanH_007 - You're very evidently misusing the word "literally" when it comes to Hendry. From his domination to his decline, I'd say he was very literally stoppable.
(One of the greatest regardless, but I had to...)
it has to be honouring to be the opponent and the whitness of such a moment, of such a player... i wish to feel what Stuart felt! Stephen was the greatest off al time!
Stephen Hendry is the best snooker player ever without a doubt.
Ronnie
@@sheldonchristie8677 hendry

Говорить можешь все что хочешь, а вот доказать свой бред фактами уже не сможешь
Folk need to watch YT and remind themselves just how good hendry was.. all achieved in 10 yrs or so..
Legend . Cool & Composed separates SH from the rest .
What a beautiful demonstration of concentration. I´m quite sure that during these ten minutes not a single thought got in the way.
The most dominant player of all time
Thought I’d missed my chance to see the Worlds greatest ever Snooker player. Welcome back Stephen.
D super GOAT snooker player & also d world champion,d amazing *SHendry..great saluted respect from Malaysia 🇲🇾 to u SHendry❤💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾👍👍👍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Hendo will always be the man
The first few shots were phenomenal
BRILLIANT in every sense of the word... Can't understand after that he still QUIT
Turned pro in 1985. 27 years in the professional game and his ability and consistency in decline for years, some might argue Hendry stuck around a few too many years.
Absolute legand hendry is
There is one king in snooker. His name is Hendry.
Hendry is a boring bastard. Ronnie is better, he plays faster, he is more enjoyable to watch and he makes less mistakes
His name is Ronnie ;)
The 🚀 all day
Absolutely. O’Sullivan couldn’t lace his boots.
BEST OF THE BEST SHOW
Can't wait for the rivalry with ronnie think it could be the greatest comeback ever by the king
To think that he retired immediately after this tournament. Crazy.
My greatest respect for him for doing that. Ending the career on a high note, unlike most players that just slip down the rankings and fade away.
Was still a great player as this 147 shows, but he wasn’t consistent enough to win anything when he made his come back.
Why can't he qualify is he not any gold now
The king is back.
Hendry's cueing is as smooth as silk!
❤️
The real goat,
Best match player ever
Being a ROS fan , to see this guy back playing is fantastic , and to see ronnie vs stephen hendry in the 2021 world championship final surely would be snookers biggest moment … ?
That was just pure class
The king of Kings in this sport
Hendry was 66/1 to win this year. Ladbrokes we're paying out as the winner any player who made a maximum!
Great break, just not enough adverts though to interrupt things.....
My Idol...!!!
THE Main Man finished in style.
A TRUE legend welcome back whatever happens he is still the man.
When someone else gets 7 world titles we can then talk about who is tbe greatest player of all time, it's all about winning titles and the amount of tournaments you played in.
Ronnie and Stephen may never be beaten, probably the best there will ever be.
Hopefully someone special comes along , but I doubt it.
Ronnie just said hi 👋 😳
pure genius!
I had a 147 last week. A red, a brown and a black WEY!
Foul. Award opponent 7 points for black and not a red ..
LEGEND ✅
Crazy how he retired that's same year. 50.000 people could play snooker every day all there life and not ever hit a 147 he hits it and says he's not good enough to win no more. Crazy legend
Really deserved to be titled as the only King Snooker player
Pure class
Ronnie is the GOAT, but this guy is the classiest and best ambassador for the sport of all time......
@Chris That's his life, I am talking about the game. Do keep up.....
A few real testers in there but all in all a beautiful thing to watch.
Welcome back
He was the greatest …
AWESOME CONTENT
This young man!! This young man…..
Pure class.
King of the Crucible
Hendry’s got the best cue action out of anyone in my opinion
TOP PLAYER STEPHEN❤
This is the first time I've seen pink on its spot in a 147
Epic Stephen Hendry.
My best when playing snooker waa having a kitkat
❤
His shot at 17 was so close to his final black to finish the 147 at the 2008 crucible.
Looking forward to seeing Hendry playing again, the work he’s done with SightRight’s obviously given him a lot more confidence again, he’s said before that he only played six shots properly in this break because of his yips struggle but it didn’t stop him making the 147 so theoretically with more confidence in his cueing he could get somewhere, he looked a lot better against Jimmy White in the seniors , his long potting was good albeit he lost but what goes against him is that he hasn’t played competitive tournament snooker for nearly nine years and it ill take time for him to get comfortable again but no audience might help him initially and he won’t be disadvantaged when the crowds come back because it ill feel the same for everyone, he might enter the Welsh Open.
Amazing Bingham went on to be world champion
I have enough problems breaking 47... Lmao
Legend
I got a 147 few weeks ago down the pub...
I only used 6 darts 🤣
World class
Superb viewing 👌
Phenomenal technique. A different art from Ronnie’s.
bruv this is the deadest 147 ever techniquely but great pots for sure this aint pool tho
Always preferred the old eurosport logo
Just class✌
KING.
Machine ❤😂
AWESOME GAME PLAYING
Good luck your Channel
Love from Pakistan
Wow who is the ref?? 😍😍
What a last black place awesome sir
Only 36 balls to pot...when you see a maximum it seems a lot more!....if you play snooker you will know how easy it is to pot a ball...2 even!....yet the more you pot the harder it gets....the pressure by the time you reach the colours must be immense!!!! And with an audience and the world watching!....the slightest twitch and its all over!...Mr cool 😎 he's earnt his place in the history of the game no doubt about it👊✌
1:24 made a Maximum out of this. Brutal
