I've seen Ronnie live once and it's even more amazing watching him,his cue action is like liquid gold and his speed of thought and ability to manipulate the cue ball is just memorising the greatest ever
I think even Ronnie's biggest detractors can no longer argue against him being the greatest snooker player in history. I'm 45 and don't expect his records to be broken in my lifetime.
Maybe Judd Trump could be total centuries because he plays in more tournaments and still has quite a few years in the game left. The rest of his records def won’t be beaten in our lifetimes. There’s not a player on the horizon with the talent he had at 16.
The cheat code of snooker - Ronnie O’ Sullivan..left hand right hand..nobody comes close to that skill of playing the same variety of shots equally with both hands.
5:05 is THE GREATEST SHOT IN SNOOKER HISTORY (IMHO). He put the cueball behind a ball that wasn't there yet. It's so outrageously genius that most people won't even realise the audacity, the effortless mastery. GOAT.
Although he snookered his opponent on the yellow, he left the pink "on". His opponent should have just potted the easy pink and picked up three times as many points. Okay, strictly speaking the yellow should have been potted next, but nobody checks.
That's the idea! As long as you nominate your ball - as you say, "I'll take the pink" - nobody checks. The referee has got bigger things on his or her mind like keeping the hitter-ball clean, putting the helper-sticks back in their places and keeping the chalk topped up. What player in their right mind would go for a lousy 2 points yellow ball when they can get 6 or 7 points for one of the fancier ones. Another top tip: if you want to impress people on your daily commute, buy a copy of The Times, and while you're on the train just fill in the crossword with any old shít. Whose going to check it? When you've filled in all the boxes, chuck the paper into your briefcase (always carry a briefcase - it makes you look super-brainy - and scoff, "pah, that was easy". So much for The Times crossword". I do that every morning and everyone on my train thinks I'm a genius. Little do they know, when we arrive in the city I get on the same train going in the opposite direction, go back home again, and watch repeats of Jeremy Kyle. That's how come I know so much about snooker rules. One of these days I'll make a viral TH-cam video called "Secret Rules of Snooker that nobody except me knows" and I'll become a billionaire like Elon Bezos. You'll be able to say, "I knew that fella when he was a twat". 🤣🤣🤣 PS - I am completely sane. It took Broadmoor's best psychiatrists over 30 years to admit this. @@kevinfairclough4619
3:10 is absolutely insane. Doing that on a regular 8ft table with pool pockets is hard enough, but doing so on a 12ft table with snooker pockets is out of this world. Ronnie truly is the best player to have ever touched a snooker cue.
Jaw dropping player. I'm not sure there is anyone so naturally talented in any other sport is there? I love listening to the commentaries, particularly those who take longer to explain a shot than it takes to think it through and play it.
Ronnie is the Don Bradman of snooker. Bradman retired 75 years ago, and many of his cricket records are not only still intact, no one has even come close! Ronnie is the same. His fastest 147 will probably last 100 years.
He is. Alex Higgins and Jimmy White were flair players too, great to watch, but Ronnie just delivers year after year . My highlight of snooker history, though, is from 1986 when Joe Johnson came from nowhere to win the whole blooming thing. Edit. Dennis Taylor in '85 beating Steve Davis was nail bitingly good as well. My wife and I were celebrating our first wedding anniversary, stayed in a hotel, had a lovely meal and a dance or two, retired to our room for conjugal bliss but Dennis and Steve were still at it. To cut the tale short I watched the finale and lost the nuptials as my lovely understanding wife had gone to sleep. Aaah, happy days!
The more you see, initially, the less understood. However, after 30 wondrous years he's made as many new fans to snooker or more... than Pound Notes. And the more you watch you get drawn right in.
5.00-5.15 that shot is the definition of Snooker Genius. No other Snooker player on the Planet would have even seen that shot, never mind try to play it, or even to execute it so brilliantly.
@@gmdhargreaves no they aren't. Snooker tables are snooker tables. If you mean baize, then that's just the cloth that covers the table. The same cloth that's used on card tables
@@rialtot039 no there isn't. No matter how thick or thin the cloth is, it's called baize. Obviously your research didn't tell you that bay became obsolete in the 17th century, and has been baize ever since Nice try though
Any% speedrun 100% speedrun Glitchless speedrun New game+ Got all the achievements All handicaps activated Every optional challenge mode done Probably tried out all the mods If there was dlc, he'd have finished that too.
We'll be talking about him like the previous generation won't shut up about Alex Higgins, who won it twice. Ronnie will be spoken about in the same breath as Henry Cooper, Lewis Hamilton, Mo Farah, Bradley Wiggins, David Beckham, Ian Botham, Jessica Ennis-Hill, Sally Gunnell, Alistair and Jonny Brownlee, Lester Piggot - the best sportsmen in the world. He's up there.
Tiger woods in golf Michael Jordan in Basktball Mohammed Ali in boxing Sachin Tendulkar in cricket Magnus carlsen in Chess There are so many people who have similarly dominated different sports.
Ronnie has the edge. He also could have a lot more world titles had he really cared at a certain stage of his career. Outstanding to watch and the most entertaining break builder
More importantly and in fact more shockingly, what in the name of god’s green earth was Judd trump thinking when he decided to leave the house with that hair?
True legend when he can either play left or right handed and be just as good,maybe they should say to ronnie."You my son can only play with your left hand in this tournament.
Most entertaining player :) if i had one wish...the year he decides to retire pls someone convince him to do an extra year playing only left handed (except RH situation specific ofc) just for kicks
Following him since 30 years, his ups and downs, this guy is incredible...
Best snooker player ever...
Surely you have been "following him FOR 30 years?
A legend best there ever was Ronnie O'Sullivan best ever
I've seen Ronnie live once and it's even more amazing watching him,his cue action is like liquid gold and his speed of thought and ability to manipulate the cue ball is just memorising the greatest ever
Just today, he said in an interview that the younger players have "slow brains". LOL
Would love to watch him live
It's Joe Davis for me.
The best in a true golden era of talented players.
he's called the Goat for a reason, insane talent
I loved Steve Davis & Jimmy White in their prime, but Ronnie was on another level - Simply the best!

Brilliant video. I smiled all the way through. What an entertainer Ronnie is!
Q
Outstanding talent. Never seen a more talented person in snooker. His up and downs makes his godmode
Snookering by using the jaw is one of the most creative plays I've seen. Never seen anyone do that before, incredible
Love your vids mate! But please drop the ridiculous AI generated announcements in betweeen every clip. It's very annoying and dreadful to hear.
You don't need to tell us that each one of Ronnie O'Sullivan's best shots was played by Ronnie O'Sullivan. We kind of figured that one out, you know?
No sportsman in history has made their chosen sport look so easy. That red against Bingham is something else!
Vardy doesn't make football look as easy?
@@sabbialmighty7249 as much as i love Vardy who will go down as probably the best ever Leicester player, you can’t compare his greatness to Ronnie’s.
I would agree but Phil the power Taylor dominated darts, I'm sure he was a 16 time world champion
@@nathanbishop925 to be fair i overlooked Phil, and he is right up there, another genius 👍
Tiger woods
There is something in his brain that make him see things us human cannot see. The skills then make it happen.
Ronnie O’Sullivan is the greatest snooker player ever he’s just a genius
I love watching Ronnie play. He IS snooker.
Simply the best there's ever been.
There is only one word to describe him and that is “GENIUS” No.1 GOAT
when you have Hendry praising Ronnie you know its something else
Your simply the best, better then anyone!
A master of master, there was no parallel before him, and there probably will be none ever after.
The most gifted with both hands snooker has ever seen
He who hesitates... is not Ronnie O'Sullivan.
hes the only player who gives me real pleasure...love watching him play
1.51,that shot is just ridiculous
Thank you for putting this together!
There will never be another. He is on his tod.
He is.
Alex Higgins and Jimmy White were flair players too, great to watch, but Ronnie just delivers year after year .

The best snooker player who has ever held a cue, the Rocket.
Live legend

Ronnie 'The Rocket' O'Sullivan. The G.O.A.T.
An amazingly troubled soul but my God he is a God of the bays, Ronnie we love you mate please know you are loved
God of the bays? Wtf is the bays?
@@sabretooth5404 bays are snooker tables

Best ever.
Ronnie the the GOAT 🐐
That's a bit insulting, calling him a goat.
@@marlowemarlowe4893 The shark then
That's better. In my country if you call someone a goat it's a great insult. @@JohnJaySnookerChannel
Também não gosto desses adjetivos - goat ou cabra.
O mais adequado para essa lenda é Mestre e Rei.
Ronnie is not a name,he is a BRAND..
Biggest snooker STAR
The goat
Oh is that what that sound is? It sounds like somebody throwing up
The greatest.
Words don't do this justice.
The goat at work
Good shotsby great player
GOAT. By daylight.

Ronnie is the god of Snooker. I don't see anyone can be that denominating in one sport field
Tiger woods in golf
Michael Jordan in Basktball
Mohammed Ali in boxing
Sachin Tendulkar in cricket
Magnus carlsen in Chess
There are so many people who have similarly dominated different sports.
@@GSMaheshGS some of those suggestions are laughable.
@@bennalexanderleyland9088 Ok. Laugh.
In fact Ronnie did not dominate the snooker almost at all. He had moments but this is not Steve Davis or Stephen Hendry domination.
Lewis Hamilton? Max Verstappen? Schumacher?
Nobody..absolutely nobody commands the que ball like Ronnie..super advanced positional play..the man is electric..
The greatest professional sportsman of all time
Exactly.
Messssiiiii
The youngest and the oldest to win the UK.
that 3 ball plants, in these games is so difficult
That three ball plant and land it safe on the baulk cushion was outstanding
Always thought that Stephen Hendry was and always will be the best snooker player that ever lived 🤔 Ronnie has put me in my place 🫣
They both are greatest:^)
Definitely O'Sullivan for me.
Yeah he’s not bad is he. Lol
I just think Steven’s the nicer person. Not that I know either of them but that’s how they come across.
Ronnie has the edge. He also could have a lot more world titles had he really cared at a certain stage of his career. Outstanding to watch and the most entertaining break builder
They omitted his 146 break statement ! There are quite some 147s , but only one deliberate 146 ~.
AMEN! to that.
More importantly and in fact more shockingly, what in the name of god’s green earth was Judd trump thinking when he decided to leave the house with that hair?
It as popular back then! Besides I think he should try that style again now, he's become incredibly boring...
5.20 Great shot! Now imagine doing the same thing but using the rest, like Hendry did years ago.....
True legend when he can either play left or right handed and be just as good,maybe they should say to ronnie."You my son can only play with your left hand in this tournament.
They should enter him twice, once as Righthand Ronnie and once as Lefthand Ronnie.
Just makes it look soooooo easy
its crazy to be so good at snooker that you start speed running centurys and maximums😂
One of a kind.
The Jan-Ove Waldner of snooker.
wow what a man
Wow 👏👏👏👍👍👍
I love number 10.
Most entertaining player :) if i had one wish...the year he decides to retire pls someone convince him to do an extra year playing only left handed (except RH situation specific ofc) just for kicks
I will never, in my life, be as good at anything as Ronnie is at snooker. And I'm okay with that.
Natural talent will let you do that!
Shame he didn't mature until he got older. He could have won so many more titles with the right mentality.
Tony Drago made the fastest century with a time of 3.26, it's here on TH-cam too.
Still say the black to middle pocket from the green spot against bingham was an absolute corker of a shot.
Terbaikkk
You will need 2 hours for his top genius moments.
How did you make this video?
You forgot about his famous yellow.
147 in 5mins and so is best frame ever
the mans a genius
Not to mention The Time other table paused game when Rocket was on 147 hunt.
5:56 is an awesome shot, but it shoud have been mentioned it was not the first attempt.
nice
8:12 What isn't shown here, is that Ronnie was not going to pot the Black, he went to walk off until prompted to complete the 147 for the audience!!
You don’t need to say his name for every clip. It’s in the title. And we see it’s him. It gets really repetitive really quick.
Ronnie O Sullivans impressive long pot
Dude don’t complain mute it then. If the rocket doesn’t make ya grin then you’ve snookered yourself right lad
😂 bless
Don't watch it then,complainers get real old,real quick
Who is this guy? He is amazing.😂
Very useful of the voice over from the person telling us "Ronnie O'Sullivan's..." before every single shot!
It’s so easy to have a hero in this guy compared to the pain and suffering of willing on White.
