- Stephen Gordon Hendry MBE is a Scottish professional snooker player and a commentator for the BBC and ITV. As a seven-time World Champion, he is one of the most successful players in the modern era of the World Snooker Championship and holds the record for the most seasons as world number one (nine seasons). His first world title in 1990, at the age of 21, made him the youngest-ever World Champion, a record that he still holds.

I owe you sir
Sir i live in pakistan i will get job

Sir, I will also do the cleaning Budhram put me on the job
Please be kind to me i'm so helpless put me on job
To this day I still don't think a presence at a snooker table compares to that of Stephen Hendrys. Not Ronnie, not Higgins, not selby maybe davis in the 80s is the closest. I'm just talking about sheer presence. Was always in awe of this man.
I agree totally.
He and Andy Murray. Scotsman should be proud.
We are a small country but we can accomplish so much.
La grandeza de Hendry no es jugar bien a snooker, ni meter bolas o hacer un 147.
Su grandeza es saber ganar (final del WC 94 contra White).
Por eso es el más grande.
Sorry, I cant be bothered to write this in English. Use translator) 🤔.
Do you Know About Alex Higgins ?
He is the All Time GOAT in Snooker History
He was a machine them 10yr was something special
Be quiet you wetter
Hendrys face when hes down on a shot my god that brutal focus
Hendry has grown on me over the years in the 90s I really didn’t like him mainly because he always beat Jimmy white but you have to admit he brought the game on in attacking snooker sense and his commentary now is spot on so knowledgeable as you would expect of a 7 time world champion
Magical! Now I understand why Stephen and Ronnie respect each other so much - they respect the genius of each other
no shit
Something that is always overlooked by these videos is the fact that Stephen changed the way players played the blue into a side pocket and used the white to break up the pack. The amount of frames he won because of his blue in side pocket and the cue ball connecting with the pack was a game changer. He controlled the white so the shot was never a hit and hope. The best there has ever been.
Brilliant player, especially in the 90s. Unstoppable.
The greatest snooker player ever in my opinion
Better than Ronnie?
Yes better than Ronnie. Stephen won 7 world titles in 10 years. It's took Ronnie 20 years to get to 6.
Hendry was more dominant than O'Sullivan ever was..so was Steve Davis..who incidentally 2and on my all time list..followed by John John Higgins at 3rd..I still think Ronnie is an amazing player..but Hendry and O'Sullivan are from the same snooker era more or less with only six yrs age difference..unlike Davis who is that bit older..its just all my opinion so please dont shoot me down!
*2nd
@@clew5687 totally agree..Ronnie turned professional in 1992..he was around as a pro for 6 of the 7 titles that Hendry won..92..93..94..95..96..99..only 90 Ronnie wasnt around
Probably the best Player to ever pick up a snooker cue specially in the 90s
The Golden Bairn something else but it was only Ronnie who buckled him.............Ronnie along with personal problems who put him in early retirement.
@@scotty193 Not true, it was him losing his cue that buckled him. He beat O'Sullivan many times and he won pretty much everything in 10 years compared to Ronnies 25
@Asif Saeed Hendry rose the standards himself. At his peak his regularly beat, Williams, Higgins and Ronnie. Stopping them from winning heaps of titles. How many WC’s did Ronnie win in the 90’s when Hendry was at his peak? (He had 8 years)None!! Yeah he fell off but no one to touch him in the 90’s. Overall Hendry was much more dominant than Ronnie. Highest win rate at the crucible, only player to get the triple crown in 2 different years. 9 seasons at no.1 and 16 years in the top 16. Youngest W.Champion, 5 WC’s in a row. Ronnie only has 2 WC’s back to back. Most ranking titles in one season at the time. Only player to score a 147 against Ronnie, in a final. 5 WC’s, 5 Masters in a row, 3 UK in a row. 8 centuries in 1 match, only matched recently. ‘There is no one dominating the sport like he did’ - Ronnie O Sullivan. Anyone that thinks Hendry is a fraud is a complete bell end and knows Fock all about snooker.
@@johnmc3862 Ronnie O'Sullivan is better
@asifsaeed1359 Shame you know nothing about snooker bet you can’t even make a 30 break you armchair nobody
The guy that transformed snooker to the level it is today. Attacked everything, split the reds at every opportunity and became the Master. It’s just can Ronnie get to 7!?? Is the question!
Hendry hasn’t a patch on Ronnie hendry never went for hard shots
Ronnie will struggle to get another worlds. theres just to much class about who can match him.
@@dr.feelgood.1330 Playing in such a way you only present yourself with easy shots, is the game.
@@wayneanthonyholmes4764 By ANY standard that is the "Best Ever" in any sport, Hendry did something no one else will ever do. Not even Ronnie. Five world titles in five consecutive years! As much as I love to watch Ronnie play, Hendry has nothing to prove beyond being the "King of the Crucible!" The only club Ronnie has left in his bag to out-do Hendry to be the "best ever" is to attain eight World Titles. You're "Haha" is insulting and juvenile. Don't forget that Ronnie competed during the same era and fell well short of Hendry's accomplishment. When Ronnie bragged he was going to "send Hendry home" before one of their matches, who was it that sat in his chair while Hendry scored century after century to win that charity match? It's okay to appreciate Ronnie and his longevity, I do! He will always be one of the most talented snooker players ever but he hasn't made any shots that Hendry didn't and lets not forget that in over two decades of consistent play, Ronnie still hasn't even gotten the seventh World Title yet. Generally I let people think what they want without comment but your immature and incorrect evaluation of the events needed a little tweaking. Let's share a post when Ronnie wins his eighth title and I'll agree with you then.
@@dr.feelgood.1330 Hendry won everything in 10 years compared to Ronnies 25
Hail Hail the King of Snooker. We will never see the likes of Hendry's genius again.
Anyone who thinks different does not understand the game.
Stephen Hendry is my favourite snooker player.
Different era of snooker but Hendry was unstoppable, he literally stomped everyone he was brilliant.. so determined and doggid 👑👑
In my opinion the best ever, so far.
His break building , cue ball control and long pots all were really insane.
KING of Snooker🎱
He has hands as steady as surgeon's, and aim of a sniper.
What a great player!
Now a great commentator!
In my honest opinion Stephen Hendy is the epitome of snooker, not by titles n such, but by sheer determination & skill to be the best. Steve Davies the robot is a close second. The legend Alex Higgins revived the game from boring to thrilling with his sublime shots, (named my son Alex James after him n Jimmy). Jimmy white gave us as much as Alex for sheer talent. Then came Ronnie O' Sullivan who could possibly change history by winning more titles than Hendry, but I see a dark horse in the background in the name of Judd Trump!. All fantastic players in their own right...but aside from alcohol/drugs /mental health issues etc, I would say Hendry up to now is/ was the most focused snooker player ever.
Unbelievable player whose up there with O'Sullivan and John Higgins as the best I've ever seen.
Yes my top four of all time are Hendry and O'Sullivan and Higgins and Steve Davis..Selby has a great chance of getting mentioned in that esteemed company as well if he carries on like he is
Ps.John Higgins I meant not Alex
The best player the world will ever see .
Not really, his prime didn't last very long. The competition improved and Hendry didn't improve after his years as number 1.
@@gfdggdfgdgf How was he supposed to improve on 7 World titles in 10 years?!
@@Glozboy22 Hendry was ahead of his time, he changed the way players thought about long pots and break building. While other players adapted and improved Hendry remained at the same level. Once the other players caught up Hendry was pretty much done.
a great man of snooker a living legend
Stephen Hendry best snooker player in history
@Casey Jones , Ok I grant you Stephen Hendry may not be the best Snooker player in history , On the other hand, all women are in awe of Stéphane Hendry !
@Wayne Anthony Holmes , Ok if you say it it must be true !
5 WC’s in row, 5 Masters in a row, 3 UK’s in a row. Most ranking events in one season. Only player to win the triple crown in 2 different years. Youngest world champion. Highest win rate at the crucible and 1st player to get 8 centuries in a match. Only player to get a 147 against Ronnie in a final. 9 seasons at no.1 and 16 years in the top 16. Most dominant snooker player ever. ‘Ronnie the greatest player, Hendry the greatest winner’ - Steve Davis.
Watched him as a kid, all I wanted was to play after watching him being the genius he really is on the table., made children like me want to play just knowing the shots he played were in fact possible, just great mentality for the kids of his era to want to play the game, spot on Sir HENDRY
just ridiculously incredible
Great legend. Great human being
The best player of the last century!
He recently said that he started losing because he became friendly with Mark Williams. What a truly great human being. He would put Mother Teresa to shame. Let's all celebrate his life.
@@homeofsnooker147 You mean the last 147 years :)
@@kshgarg147 The two are good friends off the table and like to troll each other.
Arra he was just superb. Raised the bar and changed the game.
SH = The GOAT !!! I do not accept anything else
Thanks for being so open minded
I agree
SH and Ronnie for me.
SH was GOAT in 20th century. Ronnie GOAT from 21st century.
@@PraveenKumar-vp4sn so that will make them GOTC , not GOAT
Cue ball control: Level 💯 🙏
The golden boy. He is the principal of modern snooker world. 😚
Stephen started to lose it when he lost his favourite cue. Not many people understand what that must have felt like and no matter how many cues he tried, the psychological heartache of losing his immortal cue would determine he'd never be the same again.
So he won all but one of his triple Crown events before the 96/97 season. His cue got smashed in 2003 can you please explain to me how his cue getting broke started his decline??? Are you sure it wasn't just the fact better players came along and the standard rose
Hendry in his prime had the cue ball on a string. Never ran out of position. That is one of the factors why he could make so many centuries.
This guy could be a pretty good youtuber one day
A great reminder, thanks for the share
Thanks for your hard work
I'll think about it. A good idea!
By far, the best tournament player ever.
1990-91 professional snooker season had 27
(8 ranking events) tournaments Stephen Hendry won 10 titles came runner up in three others and won two of the triple crown titles! (Same year made 43 centuries)
Top four players for century breaks in 1990-91
Stephen Hendry 43
Jimmy White 23
John Parrott 19
Thailand James Wattana 17
Comparison to the 2018-19 season with 54 tournaments 20 being ranking events?
2018-19 season professional snooker tournaments (54)
2018-19 ranking events (20)
Neil Robinson 84 centuries in 2018-19 season
Judd Trump 83 centuries in 2018-19 season
Ronnie O'sullivan 61 centuries in 2018-19 season
So just by comparing 2018-19 season to Stephen Hendry 1990-91 season and suggesting that double the tournaments would certainly mean at least Stephen doubling his results which means probably winning 20 titles in 2018-19 season and come runner up six times and have 86 centuries beating the top century maker by two frames, Neil Robinson?
That's how dominant Stephen Hendry was in his day! (Hard to comprehend? )
That's why Neil Robinson, Ronnie O'sullivan and William's/Higgins look on Hendry as someone truly special?
Today 1st time I watch him
& no matter he is no.1 among all today's players
What kind of frequency was that at 5:35 into the video? Because it hurt my left ear and that's the only clip it done that on
The GOAT.
Ronnie, is the most talented player of all time. Even Stephen says that. But Stephen dominated snooker for a whole decade. For all his fantastic ability Ronnie hasn't done that. The great Steve Davis also did the same as Hendry for much of the 80's, but Stephen Hendry was even better than, Davis. I think Ronnie stands a great chance of winning 8 world titles, and I think he'll do it, I hope so. But no one can question Stephen Hendry's brilliance in his peak years, he was the most brutal and the most focused player I've ever seen. I hope someday Barry Hearn brings back the doubles world championships. They were great fun to watch. Imagine if Ronnie and Stephen got paired together! Or Judd Trump and Jimmy White! Bring back the doubles world championship. It was great TV.
0:53 now that is one of only very few shots ive thought was amazing
Indeed
@@jamiseth I will say though I never get the commentators lol If he keeps doing shots like that he will be working for the CIRCUS. What circus is he going to where they play snooker trick shots? lol
He dominated the world championships in the era of 90's where so many great players are against him, it shows how much of a genius he was at the top of his game.
He also won 5 masters in a row in the master and 3 UK in a row also. No one dominated the game like him, including Ronnie.
What guff look at the guys he beat to win these titles I will give you an example, Jason Ferguson, Darren Morgan, Gary Wilkinson, Nigel Bond and Peter Ebdon to win his 6th World title. There's no doubting Hendry was great but the standard of the game totally evolved in the late 90s
He is the greatest of all time people seem to forget there was only a handful of tournaments back then not taking anything away from him but ronnie has only beat his records because of that
Erm...no. Triple crowns existed then and now. Ronnie has more...case closed
@@Andy-Bodhi Hendry won his 18 triple crowns in 10 years. It took Ronnie 25 years to get 18 triple crowns.
@@Andy-Bodhi Nobody was better than Hendry at his peak. Past, present or future. The man was the terminator of the baize. He was relentless, calm, calculated, laser eyesight and literally never made an error.
@@napoleonbonaparte7883 But that's not what the stats say is it? And facts dont care about your feelings. H2H 30-21 to Ronnie with 5 draws. More half centuries, more frame winning breaks per match. Higher points average in a time where there are a few other players with a higher average than Stephen. A higher win rate of nearly 75% to Stephen's 68%, again in a superior time with a higher standard of opposition. Feel free to check the stats. More centuries. More triples, over a similar time span regardless of what the guy above says. That is just a stat to help back up his bias. If the question was was Hendry the dominant player in the 90s and king of the crucible. The answer is invariably, yes! But Ronnie is the best by a country mile. Stats say it, my eyes say it, almost every pro says it. Hell, even Hendry says it! The fastest 147 and able to be totally ambidextous are a few other feathers in the cap that Hendry just didn't have. Hendry even said that Yan Bintao was better than him and that he was just a one trick pony. Neat trick, dont get me wrong. By the time Trump, Selby and Robertson are done Hendry will be lucky to crack top 5. At this time I think Higgins has surpassed Hendry too. I love Hendry! Total legend. But don't romanticize the past. I'm not sure we will ever have another Rocket and we are blessed to see him still able to give us magic even if it is not quite with the same frequency as 10 years ago. If you analyse his stats from WC 2004 2008 2012 and the masters where he destroyed Higgins it is unsurpassed, even by Trump in 2019. Like I said facts dont care about your feelings or the nostalgia you have for an individual. I'm a semi decent amateur and even if ronnie had never won a single tournament he would still be the best just from what my eyes see when he is 'on it' there is nothing like it. Not even close. Good journey
@@Andy-Bodhi lol i see why you have to type it out instead of speak it, Ronnies nuts are way down in your throat.
People say Ronnie is the GOAT but I say it’s Hendry. I hated Hendry growing up and love Ronnie and Davis but even I have to admit it.
Love the video... Question? Who is the Russian announcer I sometimes hear. I can't understand him, but his inflection and style of announcing is exciting and makes me smile... Thank you, whoever you are.
1:17 Jabba The Hut doing commentary.
Stephen Hendry is the best ever, such a shame he retired so early
Please post a collection of ceuturies by stephen hendry.😊
All his century breaks? 😂
@@homeofsnooker147 not all. Some of them.😅
I'll think about it. A good idea!
@@homeofsnooker147 along with that you should do “the best maximums”. A collection of the best 147s taking into account situation in the match, the match they’re playing and the quality of the break. Two I can think of are Higgins’ break against Trump in the 2012 Shanghai Masters final and O’ Sullivan’s against Ding in the 2014 Welsh Open
@@schipp3525 yep. Also a cool idea
Great video thanks for the upload.
It's a pool shot at 2:22, but I think it's the first time I've seen a referee actually applaud a brilliant shot!
👑 King of Snooker 👑
Absolutely!
As a foreigner, snooker was unfamilar to me, & took some while to understand it, so it stayed out of my interest. Now enthusiastic of this exciting game, shame to have missed it! Only internet things offer me a glimpse of this prodigy at his heyday.
The words "madness" and Hendry don't go together. "Great" Yes. Madness is reserved for people like Alex Higgins, Jimmy White and Ronnie.
Trump?
@@homeofsnooker147 maaay be. I like him a lot but i dunno if he has got the "madness". Only time will tell.
For me ronnie is not madness
@@georem well may be not now but certainly young (fat) Ronnie.
We ll never see another hendry for 1000 of years
I thought ronnie was amazing, but after seeing this video. Its crazy the kind of shots he did on the main stage.
He makes the long pots look so easy.
If you ever wondered why the players in his RUclips channel (especially old opponents) have a bit of bitterness when they talk previous matches and every now and then try to talk down Stephen for how he plays now.....THAT is the reason :)
🐐
MAGICIAN
5:14 I remember this exact shot, so clever.
My favourite❤
This is madness.
Neil Robertson is awesome too.
Are there more Hendry video's
Can someone tell me ( a casual) why 2:05 is such a great shot?
I think he had snookered himself on a colour and had to pull out that shot without leaving an easy red on. To judge three cushions and hit a baulk colour from that position and leave no easy reds for his opponent is tough.
He was really good at snooker
I just love u sir
hah thanks, dude
greatest
Brilliant...😄
5:35 birds in the hall
4:17 who's the commentator? (Maybe an older Kirk Stevens?)
Jim Wych ?? Canadian ex player and commentator.

Reminds me of myself ha ha...look at the pocket step back and shoot
that guy at 1:17 swallowed a frog
This kind of player appears only once in every century
You don't win 7 unless you are good as Ronnie...
The best ever don’t give a fuck what anyone says
Hendry es el mejor de todos, en los 90's no tenía rivales, el mejor Hendry vs este Trump, voy a Hendry pero muy peleado
Can't you stick a few more ads in your video, I need more than one every 39 seconds!
Yup He is a Master But Who Loves the "Legend" Ronnie O Sullivan's.
Ronnie is luvv
He is sooooo overrated.
I can beat him.

2:21 WTF???!!!!! OMG😱🤐🤠👏👍
Young Arnold
Stephen was the king now Ronnie will take over with 8 soon.
king f the crucible
The question I ask is, how or why did the standard change. Hendry was the best, what happened to lower his usual high standards. I would have thought ,snooker is a game that is ageless, the only factor is distraction. The only distraction I can think of is marriage and having a family. Realising that family is more important than snooker. I would say it,naturally , happens to all successful sportspeople.
I think this Hendry bloke might go far in snooker, he should try playing pro 🧐
If hendry was at he's best in this era now he would of won he's fair of trophys.to be honest I don't think he would of won 7 world titles maybe 3 or 4 but he holds the record that's all what matters
2:05 wtf?
yup :-)
Not sure why the question mark -- just in case: he had potted a red, was snookered on all colours, and nominated the brown
@@sdrtcacgnrjrc I think he is talking about the white line on the screen like whats the purpose of that?
@@juliusnisonen2431 lol, I'm so used to them being wrong I don't even notice it any more :-)
Stephen hendry is a Snooker viking but I just don't like him I know he doesn't give a damn who dislikes him he wasn't in Snooker to be liked he was in it to win fair play to him on a remarkable career
7:07, my translation on what the commentator was saying (being that English is my first and only language) is "Hang on, where's the cue ball going??" Yes, that's what I assume he's saying.
In his prime he was absolutely ruthless on the table... He could go on and on with such high accuracy that a lot of players would develop cold feet and lose their game and just give in after a few frames
When you're that good you're allowed to be arrogant (on the table).
I once hit the ball I was aiming at
M H & M Haha that sounds like how I play too.
@@SMHman666 🤣🤣
Greatest blue ever, I totally disagree
I never liked Hendry, I never liked his demeanour nor people skills. At this time, I was within the circle but there was no denying his skill. Ifound him dour and cold, he really was a cold machine with no warmth but wow he was perfect textbook. It’s a shame how now he’s become fun and his talent is gone.
His talent has grown old with him :)
The best player his mother had
