- He’s the seven-time world champion, and, to many, the greatest snooker player to ever pick up a cue. Ronnie O’Sullivan sat down with Shane Hannon for an extensive interview to mark the release of his new book ‘Unbreakable.’
‘The Rocket’ candidly discussed the ups and downs of his life and career, his love of running, and his absolute obsession with the game of snooker since he first encountered the baize as a kid.
O’Sullivan also touched on his favourite world title, his most satisfying 147 maximum break, the importance of finding a perfect cue, and coping with fame.

Brilliant interview. Really helps that you know Ronnie and his career so well. We rarely get to see this from him.
That's how to do an interview. Well informed, allows the guest to speak, uses humor and familiarity to make guest comfortable enough to talk about difficult situations also leaves watcher wanting more thereby promoting the book.
The GOAT 🐐
I'm surprised you haven't been mobbed by Scots yet
Favourite Ronnie moment of all time was him asking what the prize was for a 147 after potting the first black against King in 2010 World Open in Glasgow. Absolute vintage Ronnie.
And also that 'around the houses' positional shot to get sensationally on that red into the right bottom hand corner pocket. Genius on earth.
Well done Shane. Great interview. Ronnie defo the greatest snooker player ever!
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 his aura and pressance is unique nobody like him everything he does makes headlines for the sport
Best ever to pick up a cue . Brilliant tactical player .
Well done Shane. Meeting your hero’s etc. glad you met one of yours 👍👍
His 5 minute 147 at the crucible. Not only one of the best snooker moments, one of the all time great sporting moments.
Brilliant interview with a living legend.
Great Interview Shane💯, Love you so much Ronnie! I watched you on TV from 1993 rarely miss a match , never seen you live but its my number one bucket list thing to do, I promise I'll go the Crucible and witness your awe inspiring talent. Don't worry about your exit strategy from the game, you're still at the peak of your powers and can win many more world championships even past the age of 50 or 60, I can see you beating Fred Davis record being 64 or older reaching the one table setup in the Crucible theatre. I can relate to all your struggles in life, you give me so much joy and inspiration in everything you do and say, I would love to shake your hand someday, you're a beautiful person, Thank you Ronnie good luck and god bless you 💚
He isn't going to shag you
Just buy a ticket and get it over with!
@@tommygunhunter Don't be a plonker
Ronnie is always so open and honest. 🐐
The GOAT no doubt about it . His fastest ever 147 is absolutely unreal and will never ever be beaten by another human being .
Favourite Ronnie moment was his smile at Peter Ebdon after Ebdon took a fortnight to make a break of 12
Well done Shane. Great interview 👏
Fantastic piece!
I'm hooked on snooker for years, and this was really illuminating from Ronnie.
Shane - brilliant searching yet empathetic questions... I especially liked the "natural talent" question, how it could belittle the work he has put into the game... Great spot!
For me, he was the most naturally-gifted, but he kept it going. It's the longevity that has come from him constantly upgrading his technique that makes him the GOAT - aside from the total championship wins. Right up to today, Jan 2024, with two out of the three Triple Crown events won this season, with the World's to come yet...
He's a living legend.
The most engaging Ronnie has ever been in an interview. Obviously good rapport with the interviewer.
Loved Ronnies reference to the Queen's Gambit. Great series btw
100
I'd definitely be with Ronnie on the exercise . I've been walking up hills everyday for last 3 years and I'd swear by it. Great buzz out of it. Addictive. I'd recommend it to anyone for physical an mental health.
Huge Ronnie fan, read all his books. Legend. Kudos Shane for a super interview and well researched. Ronnie looks relaxed and enjoying it too.
Hendry and Ronnie the two greatest ever😊
Selby too
@@gar651527Selby??
Favourite Ronnie moment is having the wherewithal to compliment Shane's Bridge hand, great interview lads!
Great interview, Ronnie's best moment or moments has to be when he's saying the truth whether its snooker authorities or rookies on the end of it it's refreshing to see a sports star speak the truth
Brilliant interview with the GOAT. Fair play 👍
What a great interview..You could see Ronnie enjoyed it too
Great interview. Ronnie 💯 the goat
Great interview. Thorough. Knew Ronnie's career.
Great interview Shane! Favourite Ronnie moment is after the 7th world championship win in the Eurosport studio with Alan McManus, jimmy white and radzie when the cameras go off and Ronnie just shows all his emotions after the 17 days which really showed us how much he wanted the 7th world title after him playing it down weeks before that.

Amazing interview. Love the host love Ronnie!
Beating Shane on a toy table his greatness moment, a new book is in the works already
Great interview ❤
👍 Ronnies best moment for me was the fastest 147 of all time. Up there with the greatest sporting achievements in my opinion!
Brilliant interview,
Legend
Greatest moment.....
The look he gave to Ebdon after Peter missed on a 12 break that took infinity to make
Great work very well done sir,great what a bit of Irish charm can do (well skilled aswell obviously)
Would love to see Ronnie O'Sullivan and Sonia talk about the joy of running and the stress of performance
Listening to his book now
👍the 147 in record time !
The 5m20s 147 is unforgettable. Legend.
5 minutes 8 seconds
Simple he’s the best of all time 🎉
Along with selby
my best memory of Ronnie on the snooker table has to be the moment when refused going for the 147 because the prize money was not high enough if im not mistaken, pure anarchy
You need to get a triangle or something for snooker to put on the wall - we love Ronnie here in Ireland!
Ronnie asking the prize pot for the 147 after only 1 red and 1 black......legend!!
the GOAT of snooker end of!!!!!!!!
Possible to order the book in Dutch for Belgium?
Good man Shane hannon good job 👍
Wonder if he checked every single comment Ronnie ever made in his life to bring it up? Why not continue his standard?
What are u on about ?
🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🐐👌
Up for none as ronnie would say. My new favourite saying
Favourite moment has to be Ronnie asking what the prize money for a 147 and then not doing it 😂
Favourite Ronnie moment is the maxi in the Crucible in 1997. Anyone that says otherwise is lying!
Favourite moment when Ronnie refused to complete the 147 break at Welsh open in 2016 against Barry Pinches after he asked the referee how much he would win if he got a 147. When he found out it was only 10,000 he then refused to complete it.
Love ronnie what a player n character he comes across really well he seems happy in himself n relaxed credit to the host he doesn't jump in every 2 seconds like the other host on oftb can't think of his name he's so annoying 😉. The Roy Keane n Gary neville roadshow back before covid he was Co hosting with Joe molloy I don't like him he shld be fired especially that one he kept interrupting every 10 seconds or so . A good interviewer let's the conversation flow
Is that the real Ronnie the Rocket or one of his many doppelgangers he uses for press and media stuff?
6 by 6 table?
Alex Higgins was probably the guy who had natural talent but didn't need to apply the hard work to the degree he did it most of the time. Probably prepared for a match with a good night out!
Cracker interveiw. Well dune lad. Subscribed str8 after it.
When he won his 8th title, equalling Hendrys record, had the long hug with Judd Trump and became the oldest ever world champion
They have 7 each
Is Shane Irelands tallest man😂
The Bellend.
He works 15 hours a week but also 6 to 7 hours every day? Spoofer
Takes him a week to read that book! How long would War And Peace take?
Shane straying into sycophancy territory.
Ask him tough questions like a self-respecting sports journalist, like a Kimmage or Dunphy
Chris finch used to read a book week
Sad to say but selby on his best day takes ron. Negative and as boring as it is
Ronnie dominates on his best day watch the 2014 masters final
@@98TheJackInTheBox And Ronnie has a inning record over Selby..22-11..So the post oner doesn't know what he is talking about! 👍
Selby's overated peak Williams, Hendry, Higgins, Robertson all take him to school it's happened time and time again
@@98TheJackInTheBox Don't agree...Selby miles better than Hendry & Higgins and has a winning H2H over Hendry...Ronnie better than all 4 you mentioned..He leads Hendry,Robertson ,Higgins and Williams in finals and overrall! Don't know much about snooker and its history eh? Proofs in the pudding,and Ronnie has won more than all of them ..Selby only has a 5-3 winning record over Ronnie in finals!
Mate how can you look at them stats when Selby never knew what facing a peak Hendry looked like you can't keep hiding behind your snooker stats book mate
Ronnie! Shane is a Muppet!
Legend
