@@jamilulizwan173 where? The guy is an amazing showman! I'd bet once he is going to become multiple times world champion and even create his own video drill system! I see that as obvious as my own reflection in the mirror.
@@M1kaTck Yup. I reckon if he applies himself he will do ok. I think he has a fair amount of talent. I hear another youngster by name of Hendry is one to watch also.
It was plain to see back then where Ronnie was heading but nobody could have guessed how far his achievements would go. Amazing to think after three and a half decades he is still at the top. We have definitely lived through the greatest era of snooker, I can’t imagine anyone coming close to what he has achieved in our lifetimes, love him or hate him you cannot fault his talent.
What is truly incredible is that this was 34 years ago, and even then he was a really quick player! Even more remarkable is that Ronnie is currently the World No 1 at the age of 48. If you wanted a true and accurate description of the word “GENIUS” then watching Ronnie at any age would be a great idea!
When the commentator said “Ronnie O’Sulivan” at 5:30 it is a familiar sound to us all as snooker fans, but this is the first time. It rolled off his tongue like he was already the GOAT.
From 34 years ago until the present, Ronnie stroke has not changed that much. You can totally see from this video that it’s no wonder why he’s the best snooker player to ever hold a cue!!! There is only one Ronnie, the rocket O’Sullivan…. he was born to do this.
Great, great video!!!!! Although he had already gained recognition as a fine player at 14 years old this performance showcased his talents to a broad audience and we all know how this wound up! Without question, perhaps the finest snooker player of all time!!! Besides his obvious talents also on display was his poise, confidence and when asked if he was nervous playing on television, without hesitation he replied, "No."
Thanks for the great video. Of all the players in that tournament the only one to make it was Ronnie. And seeing that performance it must have been obvious to everyone he was a future star. Great too to see his father, who got him into the game in the first place, and who was clearly really proud of his son. What a pity he had his later problems. So unlucky.
Very talented. He is my favorite snooker player. That table is big 12x6 in size. We only have pool table here in ph (9x4 1/2 feet) I wish we have that table here so i can play snooker and try the tiny pockets. From 🇵🇭
Such a natural talent.. still hard to believe it took him so long to get his first world title under his belt, and now 32 years or so later he's gunning for his 8th world title.. From prodigy to legend!!!
Oh, the laconicism of that ref when our boy casually makes another exquisite shot. Hilarious stuff. Who'd have thunk it, even if he was only 14? His dad seemed a jolly bloke too, nice to see their rapport
Watching him with his dad at that age reminded me of himself with his daughter of about same age he was at that time on a world championship event! He’s a great guy. This is the first time this video appeared in my feed today n man o man I’ll never forget the face of that other kid ventham.
6:37 the commentator John said "well this is the first time I've every seen this young man Steve and already I'm totally impressed" then at 7:44 John says "and tremendous cue power this young lad has got" definitely an understatement then at 9:45 "obviously a name for the future" says Steve Davis! Another understatement! Then 14 year old Ronnie finishes a 75 break against a 24 year old opponent Steve Ventham. Also this started with 2000 snooker players from 125 clubs ending in 8 players left to play. A great achievement to get to the last 8. 👏 Ronnie was playing quick even at 14. I wonder what age Ronnie was when he started playing left handed too. Great to watch back 34 years later! 👍
7 Times a champion of the world but that doesn't even matter. What matters is that he is still playing and when he does, nothing else matters. He loves to put on a show and we enjoy every single moment of it. I wonder if anyone guessed back then they were seeing the makings of a god.
Congratulations to Ronnie Snr for nurturing Ronnie's talent no matter what it cost. As a kid, his dad decided to move house to a place where he could build a proper snooker room, with a full size table. He paid a man £200 per week plus a car to look after Ronnie and take him all over the country playing amateur tournements. He loved his son and knew he had a major talent.
Comparto su apreciación. El padre seguro que fue un factor importante para orientar el desarrollo del adolescente. Su madre seguro que también propició la genialidad de su hijo y el amor de los padres por la familia es el mejor tesoro que Ronnie ha recibido en su vida. Ojalá que él nunca lo olvide.
His Amazing Talent was there from the start, natural talent like Ronnie's is Very rare will there ever be a better layer on earth? maybe yes But Not in our lifetime
I wonder what was going through Steve Ventham's head watching that? A few years earlier he was probably looking at the senior players who would soon be gone, then Stephen Hendry appeared and then THIS!
Naw he isny THE WONDERBAIRN WAS THE MOST RUTHLESS AND WINNER SNOOKER HAS SEEN ALSO DOMINATED THE SPORT 5 masters 5 worlds on the spin never to be seen again
It's more the poor quality VHS recording that looks like it's at least second generation (colour in particular got really bad if you copied a copy of a VHS tape). No it didn't look that bad on initial broadcast - in fact analogue TV was better than the current digital SD TV picture as it was uncompressed.
What a rare chance to see young Ronnie at the beginning of becoming the greatest player the world has ever known. Brilliant footage .
you could put his 2024 face to that footage and barely see a difference. The way he moves and all...it's is all there. And he is still so fit too

It is also a rare chance to see a convicted murderer being interviewed prior to his crimes. He seemed so normal.

The pace of play is simply incredible.
That's why they called him the Rocket man
@@ruperttristanblythe7512 Dave Harold is slower
he reads the table and next is just muscle memory kicking in
Even at 14 he was considered the favorite to win the tournament what a legend

What a joy to watch and a lovely interview at the end. So innocent!
Loved how hos dad gave his son a kiss at the beginning. 👍🏻
Such a shame what happened afterwards and he had to go to prison.

I grew up watching hes games on eurosport tv channel in Kyrgyzstan!Respect to Ronnie!True legend of this beautiful game!
He's playing so fast and precise as a 14yo... Insane
This is absolutely fabulous!!
Amazing. He was already so good at so young age. Thanks for sharing the video.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you man, great video for us.
That’s amazing.. theirs not many people in the world where the person they idol ends up idolising them.
There's
Edmun
At age of fourteen
that was awesome, worthy of commentary. So I'm leaving a comment.
I love how he was touching his chin in the exact same way back then, as he does today.
Such a natural talent.. still hard to believe it took him so long to get his first world title under his belt, and now 32 years or so later he's gunning for his 8th world title.. From prodigy to legend!!!
That O'Sullivan lad appears to be going places! I predict a mighty career ahead for him. Might even become World Champion someday!
I know talent when i see it and this kid ronnie is going to be the future of snooker for sure mark my words i said this in 2024
Bhai jee do you know who is ronnie?
and now snooker is recognized by this 14 years old guy ❤ all around the world 🌎
Oh, the laconicism of that ref when our boy casually makes another exquisite shot. Hilarious stuff. Who'd have thunk it, even if he was only 14? His dad seemed a jolly bloke too, nice to see their rapport
It would be more hilarious if the ref did anything except his job.

34 years years ago i was 26 , Ronnie was 14. My wasted life but he become the most successful player in snooker history 👍
Oh, man. This is brilliant! Thank you for the video!
World greatest ever snooker player in the making
Brilliant. Not surprising, none of the quarter-finalists other than Ronnie made it to the world top.
Amazing, the focus and the speed already there…

Hey, ya know. He will probably go on to make a very good player and might even win a few events this young man!
Ronnie the best, miał 14 lat a jak już pogrywał, wspaniała kariera mistrza snookera. i'm fan Ronnie, he is my idol.
Bonjourrrr!!!
Amazing ❤
Thank you! Cheers!
4:30 How many times have those words been uttered over the years...
It's just amazing how everyone knows he's going to be the best, just the way thay we're talking about him. ❤
He played fast at the young age...what a talent
Nice respect to Steve Davis. Both legends... And Alex Higgins also! These 3 are my favourites.
Being a snooker genius must be one of the best lives a human can have.

I was 20 in 1990. I don't remember technology being that bad that looking at a snooker match would make me think I'm color blind..

Просто чудо что есть такая запись, юный Ронни, какая игра!
Fabulous stuff since the first shot 👏.
At the very young age already played like a rocket..
Ronnie of Sullivan really was the k pop idol of snooker my word this child was beautiful and good at snooker wow
The what?
This was the year when I started playing snooker, Steve Davis and Jimmy white were my favourite until I saw ronnie growing up. Roonie ❤
You can see how far video format has come since then.
34 later… the goat is still here and doing great
Ronnie awesome, great character❤
Steve Davis is so cool as young, i have only watched him old
Coincidentally the same year Hendry(then 21)won his 1st world championship.
My prediction:
This young lad might end up with the most ranking and major titles in snooker history
this kid is going places...
And Steve Ventham was the one who played Stephen Hendry in junior pot black in 1983
14 and 6 weeks, that's 13 and a bit, Stunning.
No it isn’t. It’s 14 and a bit.
Ronnie was never into boring wasting time play even at 14.
His Amazing Talent was there from the start, natural talent like Ronnie's is Very rare will there ever be a better layer on earth? maybe yes But Not in our lifetime
yes the 14y O'sullivan, then snooker tried not to be boring showing that face playing the next 50 years
Is the rest of this tournament on RUclips?
Amazing document
Excelente video. O'Sullivan sólo ha cambiado para mejorar cada vez más y sus triunfos son muy merecidos. Gracias por el video.
Little do they know, this kid is going to be the greatest of all time
Very much appreciated
Now, where have I seen him before??
Steve was right, it was a close shop in those days
I was waiting for someone to scream " Come on Ronnie ".
Some people get life right & Ronnie got it right. He did what he was put here to do & executed it perfectly
Pretty wild statement saying he got life right. Should maybe read up on his trials and tribulations
@@StuPhee 🥱
He still play like this but with more finesse
I wonder what was going through Steve Ventham's head watching that? A few years earlier he was probably looking at the senior players who would soon be gone, then Stephen Hendry appeared and then THIS!
I didn't know Tony Wilson was involved in snooker too (this is the time of peak Madchester, i assumed that was keeping him busy)
Reminds me of Judd when he first met Ronnie. A very shy kid, with a softest voice you can imagine. Now Judd's cue is the loudest. 🤣🤣🤣
This is what natural means duse ..cmon 14yr old with that speed n fitness 🎉🎉❤
What a baller move leaving that last 8 on the table 🎱
A genius was born and the rest is history.
Great video !
Happy Birthday!!! Hope you have a Rockin great Day!!!🫶💜💜💜💜💜💜✌️🤘😉🌹
Ronnie refused the maximum break , piss poor prize money
How amazing!
That thumbnail of Ronnie smiling. He’s not watching Peter Ebdon take half an hour to pot a ball is he ?
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Funny to see him back before he adopted his left handed shots. He broke out the rest a bit more often than I'm used to seeing Ronnie do.
Who’s the commentator spotted the Rocket in his first match
John Pulman
His dad seems like a lovely bloke 👍

The look on his opponents face, 9.20, whilst getting eviscerated by Ronnie, the classic wtf look 🤣🤣🤣🤣
9:19 This guy is thinking "WTF have I got myself into?"
This kid seems pretty good in snooker, he may get far if he keeps practising
People sitting in the audience never knew they were watching future star and father of snooker
Oh I think they realised it rather quickly... 🙂
Did we really used to watch TV's with that level of clarity
Agree, I had a really hard time picking off the black ball at first

@@f0urstr1ngIt’s not the recording. It’s been copied, probably more than once which with analogue footage means degradation..
@@johnp515 I would say it is still a recording, notwithstanding that it is a copy. Pedantics aside it was still easier in black and white.
