Not Ken.... He's as tight as a pulled muscle not my cup of tea
@@user-qo4hb4cr2i😊
Cheers.
Ronnie talked in such a humble way about his accomplishments in snooker. He may try to down play things a bit, but there is not one bit of doubt in my mind that he IS the GOAT!!! I am certainly hoping he can win one more world title and make one more 147 at The Crucible. Cheers Ronnie. 👍❤
I have watched him play for over 20 years and I can tell you that he changes his attitude daily. One day he’s humble, the next he’s arrogant. He has been awful in interviews and incredibly disrespectful (the china interview a number of years back). When he’s in a good mood, he’s very likeable but most of the time he’s difficult.
@@Correction294 so "you know"😅
He’s not humble when he asked what the 147 prize money is when he’s pitted one black. Or when he’s says the players now are no good, or when he shakes hands mid match, or when he has an excuse every time he loses instead of admitting he’s been beat, or when he says he just plays now to pay his kids school fees.
@@MrSmid888 I just said he spoke about things humbly and it was in this interview. I realize Ronnie's mood can swing from one extreme to the other very quickly, but such is The Rocket. I still like him very much and think he is the greatest player to ever hold a snooker cue.
@@Correction294You have AI
What a great interview! No one that famous ever talks so openly about themselves! He’s the best ! And to have gone through so much makes his accomplishments all the more amazing
its the most relaxed ive ever seen him
What's so great about snooker, isn't just that it's a fabulous game, but also the personalities of the champions... Davis, Hendry, Ronnie, and all the rest... All just good, honest people, entertaining, engaging, funny, and super super talented.
You saying Higgins is honest as well
Lovely interview, Ronny opening up is an amazing insight into the mental side of snooker. Nice that Ryan gave him the time to speak without to many interuptions. Sign of a good host.
Absolutely love this fella..
If wasn't for he's mad 7 years as a youngsters he would be sitting on 11 world titles at this point.
16-14 down to Selby.
Greatest 3 frames I've ever seen!!!
the sheer balls of those frames
both those semi finals that year were arguably the most thrilling moments in all of sports ive ever seen, smack bang in the middle of covid too with no crowds which actually heightened the tension and drama even more in a strange way, i will never forget that day !!!
Hendry could be sitting on 9 lost two finals. It’s the way it goes enjoy him whilst he is still playing
Stayed up till 3 AM in India... I had my eyes closed before every shot in those 3 frames, and the sound of pots would inform me that his breaks were continuing. One of the most memorable sporting events in my life.
@@abhimanyukarkara4218 haha love it !
Being in the Crucible and watching this man play is on the bucket list for me. Hope I can make it before he retires. Huge respect, not only for his game but for him as a person in general.
If you haven't done it by now, you never will. Doesn't sound like there's any urgency there. He's retiring in the next 2-3 years so you'd better get a move on!
@@The_Professor26 haha, fair enough. I don't live in the UK and up till very recently I could not even travel to the UK. So it's not just a matter of want. There are constraints 😄 Still very hopeful I could make it though. Fingers crossed
@@NaderHGhanbari I hope you get there mate! I've seen him play once against Joe Swail. Would love to see him again!
Ronnie is an inspiration in so many ways. The fact he's so self reflective when he talks about his life is extraordinary, as well as being the greatest of all time, without doubt
Delusional if you think he was the greatest, he was good for 30% of his career. Stephen Hendry at his peak im talking 5 to 10 year peak playing in the same era as Ronnies 5 to 10 year peak Hendry dominates and OSullivan knows it!!!
@williammurphyslaw whatever even though Ronnie and to head and hendry may win a lot but his peak Ronnie was off the rail so hard say. Ronnie is goat to many for his longevity something hendry will never take away and Ronnie has all records bar tied on the worlds one
@@williammurphyslawhe throwing out whatever though that's your view and all hypothetical Ronnie has all bar 1 -2 records I know u may hate him but fact
@@williammurphyslaw I get what you're saying, I think even Ronnie refers to it here, he should have dominated an era, but on their best day, there is nobody in the world that could beat Ronnie. He is completely untouchable in terms of skill and talent.
The more I watch Ronnie talking in circumstances like this, the more I realise how humble and genuine he is. Legend!
@ 5.01 he stops himself from saying I was just getting stoned 😆
I noticed that. He got to the ‘st’ & then stopped himself. He then went on to be totally honest. Fair play.
That’s why he is so popular. What you see is what you get with Ronnie.
Good spot!
No words can describe Ronnie, especially what he means to someone who's a fan since 16 ( I am now 40)
Ronnie makes snooker so exciting! Which is an amazing achievement.
He makes snooker look easy most of the time.
What a humble guy but the best snooker player ever, I really hope he wins another world championship it would be the icing on the cake.
Absolutely brilliant interview. Really enjoyed that. Ronnie has been about my whole life. Feel honoured to have seen him play. Unreal talent.
Agree with Ronnie that he's 2/3 out of 10 (which will beat most people), or 10/10. At 10/10, Ronnie is better than anyone, and is something to behold. Love watching him play, will be a while before there's another like him. One of the most natural sportsman I've seen, while I like watching him, my overriding hope is that he's happy.
Hope I can watch him for many years.
He’s quite a shy man doesn’t like the limelight, just finished his book unbreakable. He’s a all round good egg and snooker genius even though he doesn’t say so himself
Because its Snooker he’s overlooked in the world of professional sport.
When it comes to natural talent, Ronnie possess an ability that is extremely rare indeed.
He is a genius. When he’s playing at his best it’s like watching an artist at work.
totally agree
What a great guy. I watch him play and it's nothing but a joy and relaxing.
Ronnie is so humble and has had to go through turbulent times growing up.
He is so very talented and has amazing entertainment skills.
We will not have another Ronnie again.
So inspirational and very honest .
Best Sportsman ever
Me playing snookers
Jus coz of him
❤❤from India....always Ronnie
Ronnie is so humble, and he walks the fine one perfectly within confident and cocky. A truly wonderful man and talent. I don’t think there’s many argument over who is the goat.
What an absolutely fantastic bloke he is. Love him!
Great interview, incredible questions. Wonderful job!
An absolute genius dealing with way more than any person should ever have to deal with… and still became the greatest player of all time
Ronnie you are a phenomenon that can never be repeated in the past at present or in the future! We love you , we respect you , we miss you!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Ronnie is a true star. Seems like you can have a proper laugh and banter with him if you just met out and about . Not many people famous or not can manage that
This was a superb interview with Ronnie and interesting to hear the other side of his life the ups and downs, it is always a pleasure to watch him play and have so much respect for him good luck Ronnie hope you continue to be successful and for you and your family good luck .. very enjoyable watch thanks.
What a lot of people don’t realise at one point he was a very accomplished runner I’m pretty sure he’s run 10k in 35/36 minutes unbelievable ,and love’s running now👏
The European Union is a failing force
That's crazy
It's his addiction. If he doesn't run, he doesn't feel right/normal
@@eddiebear34 that goes for a helleva lot of people who run ,it’s good for the brain getting out👍
Yeah his official recorded 10k PB is 34:54, some people say he's done some 32-33 mins too.
Ronnie IS the greatest snooker player of all time!
His overall record is unmatched, more major titles than anyone else, highest number of century breaks (by a country mile) and maximum breaks, his incredible longevity, his phenomenal cueing and potting skills all done at blinding speed (right or left handed).
He’s an entertainer, has unbelievable charisma, and even though he’s done some forbidden things during his career, he is the absolute definition of a snooker genius!
No question about it, the majority of snooker fans all over the world watch the game mainly BECAUSE of Ronnie!
Agree someone told but didn't play peak hendrybif he did hendry smashes him but didn't want hear about longevity and Ronnie wasn't best of health then even hendry says it's Ronnie anyway both have respect for each other but some people talking crap hendry smashes Ronnie in peak maybe wins more than others vs him but Ronnie has more talent
So humble and honest, hopefully Ronnie will do more talk shows 👍👍
I like the eloquence & direct questions from the host and the candour from Ronnie.
For those interested: Stephen Hendry and Ronnie did a podcast/youtube vid together during covid. Fascinating to see how much they respect each other and a great insight into the so called 'elite mentality'.
I'm a Stephen Hendry fan down to my bones and always hated Ronnie. I was 10 when Hendry won his first title and he was my absolute hero! I disliked Ronnie so much because he was Hendry's nemesis and only player ever to really challenge him. I stumbled upon those two TH-cam videos between them during lockdown and was blown away. I'd always just assumed that they hated each other. It was fascinating to see that they are genuinely good friends now and hold nothing but huge respect and admiration for one another. It's amazing to see this from the two greatest players ever in the sport. I love that they both genuinely regard the other as being the greatest too.
Great show. Good to see Ronnie O`Sullivan in this programme.
Great hearing Ronnie’s story.
A great champion fighting against all odds to rise and stay on top. Certainly an incredible achievement with a lot of blessings from the Cosmos.
Amazingingly honest interview. To see Ronnie just as a person, amazing...It helps to understand how and what your life has been...All credit to you Ronnie.
Great to see the humble and pleasant side of Ronnie.
What I love about Ron he never once mentions being 16-14 down to Selby and coming out playing 3 outrageous frames..
It's the greatest thing in sport.
Especially coz Selby was in form and 100% confident at the time
@@popeye4827 Yea absolutely agree..
Unlike Murphy who mentions hes triple crown every chance he gets..
That is one match I will remember for the rest of my life. Those last 3 frames were just incredible.
Mad how that wasn't even the best match played that day either
As I recall he had ludicrous amount of luck in at least one of them playing hit and hope shots.... Hardly any skill involved in that.
Funny how you don't mention 2014 wsc final when O'Sullivan had Selby on a plate for a third straight title and he blew it in a spectacular fashion... A match in which Selby didn't record a century until the last two frames of the match or so.
What a great interview
I can't tell you how much I love Snooker because of Ronnie, the technical, methodical approach and quite stoic nature of his game is awesome. Not putting him on a pedestal, I have 4 or 5 other favorites with their own styles. SNOOKER IS THE KING OF BILLIARDS.
Who can ever forget “whats the price of a maxi? “
"It's nothing". "What do you mean nothing"? 😅
Vs mark king😆 yeh, pure genius
He is an enigma. He is undoubtedly the best player I have ever seen. I do like the way he always respects other players. He is a top bloke ❤
I love when Ronnie says he can't master snooker: He played and won more championships than anybody else and still believes that... That's a humble champion
Awwww sooooo sweet Ronnie…. We’ll go through difficult phase …. You have been an inspiration to all of us going through the same phase as a child.. much love and admiration ❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for posting 👍🏻
Good interview, a few juicy bits but not too awkward between host and guest.
Thanks for the interview Ronnie.
Higgins, White, "O" Sullivan. These 3 players all have one thing in common, an unbelievable presence of GENIUS when they played.
I would love to hear what he sees after the break and how he calculates position. He is definitely the best and most amazing player. Love watching his games.
Wow, an 18 minute interview on network TV. This would never happen in the states. You're lucky to get 8 minutes. Love Ronnie!
Great interview. Great bloke. Great player.
Ronne sou seu forte torcedor so que sou brasileiro moro no parana desejo muintas sorte nos seus lindos jogos de ❤
Love from Blink... I'm his nephew. ❤️
Best snooker player ever and a cool dude with a great philosophy to life and the fact he said that about Stephen Hendry is astonishing really and while it will be true to some normally someone wouldn't say that as it could influence so many people. Out all players on there best day i dont know who would be the best
What a man, what a GOAT! Such a lovely fellow, indeed.
Great guy , such honesty and totally honest.
Make no mistake, if we are talking snooker, Ronnie is a genius no question about it. In no way saying he is a genius away from the game, but where snooker is concerned he is. I wish him well.
He admits that himself nobody said he was away from snooker but he is relatable especially to those with addiction issues
What a great modest man,,,, and the greatest ever player to watch along with his great mate Jimmy White ,,,,
He is a zen master,any player who ask what the 147 prize is on the 2nd red and then has a perfect game is pure legend.
Ive been a huge fan of ronnie's over the last 20 years now and it is the first time ive actually seen him in a interview speaking of his life's ups and down's he is humble and a genuine bloke may he go on in the snooker world win more titles or not but enjoy his passion for snooker for many years too come as he is and always will be the greatest snooker player of all times 🙏🙏👍👍🤘🤘🎱🎱🤟🤟👍👍many best wishes with the book ron..🙏🙏🙂🙂👍👍
We need more down to earth people like Ronnie ,in this interview he’s so honest about his life and his work.I so enjoyed watching this thanks Ronnie. Hope you go on to win another world Snooker title in my opinion you deserve to 👍
If anyone deserves a Knighthood for achievement at sport it is Ronnie O'Sullivan.
He should be prime minister
He made snooker interesting and fun with his antics
Best ever for me.. great to watch
Ronnie is my favourite snooker player of all time.
The best part was the interviewer asking if it’s ok to talk about the “ testing times “ of his life . Most people love to rip people apart with stinging words during these interviews for those 15 min fame !!! Love the interview, interviewer and Ronnie the “GOAT”!!!
I missed out on seeing Pink Floyd when they were playing gigs , now live in Australia and would love to Ronnie and a few of the lads do an exhibition tour here so we can enjoy the genius of this man , please Ronnie , come on down !
Forget the snooker and all that, what a wonderful person he is. Imagine sitting down with this guy over a pint or two. And let's not forget the job that Ryan did just letting Ronnie go on talking. Thank you from NZ!
Read his book a few years ago. How he changed his life around was fascinating. Great read.
He’s got a new one fairly good almost done reading it another40 pages
Best I've ever seen. No contest.
Great interview
🐐 The goat term gets banded round too much but this guy is a fkn legend. He makes snooker worth watching, it will be a very sad day when he ‘hangs his cue up’.
Great interview 🚀
Great interviewer yields a great interview.
Pure legend.
Great to hear him say Steve Hendry was his hero and then to see him on cue tips shortly after
Ronnie = ❤❤
Ronnie is more of a snooker legend than Steve Davis or Stephen Hendry, even though he's won less than them. He is a snooker genius and no one would say that about Davis or Hendry. This guy is special. He brought something to the game never seen in the modern era, swapping from left to right hand whenever he wanted, doing insane shots no one else would dare try and pulling them off, doing a 147 in 4 mins 20 secs, almost running around the table to get it done in the fastest time... he has nerves of steel. If you asked any snooker fan that's 45+ years old (that has seen Davis and Hendry) who is the best they have ever seen - not a single one of them won't say... it's Ronnie O'Sullivan, hands down.
I think you'll find he's won a hell of a lot more than both of them.
@@ejoseph4278 I think he wrote his comment in 2001 and is only now posting it :)
Davis and Henry prevented Jimmy from winning or was it Jimmy himself?
Correction.. it was 5 min 08 sec officially tho😊..5 min 20 sec just the history of science the game
Great to hear Ronnie talk about his battle with drugs
The 7 year glitch!! Reflective life learning is always good. Greatest without doubt.
I love Ronnie ❤❤❤and I wish him 2 world championships win and 2 the Master so that will make Him the greatest ever for so long time🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Must be one of the few interviewers that can make Ronnie relaxed. Really nice watch.
Humble and objective and Excellent
this is a good interview...
thank you Ronnie
Gotta love this guy!!!
"Can we talk about that for a while?" is a question that more interviewers should ask, instead of thinking that they have a right to be invasive.
Tubridy is shockin'.
What a great interview , a good interviewer gets the best out of the guest and this is what happened here two guys having a chat 😎
Normally the interviewer in question is awful at sports interviews. But I think he is helped by the fact that Ronnie is focusing on 'therapy talk'.
Tubs like Ciara Kelly are useless when involved with sports.
What makes Ronnie different from everyone else is the way he one his titles. Reardon dominated the 70s and Davis and Hendry the 80s and 90s respectively. Previously others had, had their glory and gradually drifted down the rankings. Ronnie was different in the amount of times he made comebacks. I'm convinced he still has at least another World title in him, maybe more than one. What an achievement it would be if he could win more titles. A truly amazing player.
More than one many more. 😅
To have accomplished what he has, is amazing. His talent saw him through. Greatest ever for me.
Such an open person and really the world's greatest player. Some people disrespect him because of some minor antics that have occurred, but I think those are just intolerant arse-holes. If people would listen to him and understand that he has some internal struggles (like everyone, andhe's had more than many), they should cut him and everyone else a bit of slack. No one's perfect.
He is a fascinating fella.
He is the best I ever saw and the best that will ever be a genius.
I used to be a support worker and met Ronnie's Dad in jail. He was a lovely dude and started telling me about how people end up in addiction. I said to him, "I am a an addiction specialist so you are telling granny how to suck eggs". He laughed...and so did I.
What a beautiful person.
Good lad him. Beautiful depth. Just like us. Yes. You and me.
And you and I.
LEGEND.
Ronnie is an absolute legend
There’s a screen play in there somewhere.
The great player Ronni I like my dreams one day I meet this player God bless U from pakistan Alway s happy
