Hendry is still the greatest long potter under pressure I've ever seen and I know we had some fantastic long potters in history such as Williams Trump Robertson who are all brilliant long potters but when the pressure was at it highest Hendry just never seemed to miss.
The man who changed the game
Entirely fearless in his shot selection, incredible, best player ever to have picked up a cue.
Just fearless all round and was never overawed, even back then you knew he was going to be the man
2nd best. Ronnie is undoubtedly the greatest now.
@@zlrs0113 granted O'Sullivan is a fantastic player, after winning his 7th and equaling Hendry he has certainly matched the great Scot, my only inclination to think O'Sullivan is maybe better is he has done it over more decades, he has been dominant for longer than Hendry was.
@@kevinbaird7277 won the World Snooker Championship seven times, a modern era record he holds jointly with Stephen Hendry (until he wins the 8th). He has also won a record seven Masters and record seven UK Championship titles for a total of 21 Triple Crown titles, the most won by any player. He holds the record for the most ranking titles in professional snooker, with 39, and has held the world number one ranking on multiple occasions.
O’Sullivan won his first professional ranking event at the 1993 UK Championship aged 17 years old, making him the youngest player to win a ranking title, a record he still holds. He is also the youngest player to win the Masters, which he first achieved in 1995, aged 19 years and 69 days.
Now noted for his longevity in the sport, he has made a record-equalling 30 Crucible appearances and is the oldest player in the sport's history to win a world title, at 46 years years old in 2022. O’Sullivan has also made over 1000 century breaks which solidifies him as the greatest break builder the sport has every seen.
Another record Ronnie holds is the most maximum breaks with 15 (and second in 146s with 3) he made history for making the fastest competitive maximum break, compiled in a time of 5 minutes and 8 seconds at the 1997 World Championship.
I do like Hendry so don’t get the wrong idea with this comment. It’s just stupid how people can still have a argument when Ronnie has taken pretty much ever achievement Hendry has made in snooker.
@@kevinbaird7277 Thr fact Osullivan has managed to stay either at the top or near the top for that long says it all, he has been the best of multiple generations of players.
You can tell when Hendry was at or near his peak just from looking in his eyes. He had this kind of expressionless glare which disappeared when his confidence started to go. Davis had the same thing in the ‘80s.
In the zone, see it in every sport, but more noticeable in snooker, as we observe one player at a time.
He looks like a predator.
It didn't disappear in 2009 and 2012 when unlike most professionals, don't even get close to a 147..never mind the World's. Depends on how you look at peaking I suppose. Maybe the 7 times he won it...watch the 147 he hit at the Liverpool Victoria vs Ronnie. That's again, peaking my friend
classic hendry - sink a long red then win the frame at one visit
I think the difference for me is watching Stephen in his hay-day and having seen O'Sullivan throughout his (through videos as well). I see in Hendry a man who simply couldn't be beaten. Total control at all times until the inevitable fall from grace due to age and time, but Ronnie throughout his career, for as naturally talented as he certainly is, was NEVER unbeatable. The numbers say it all. Five championships in a row. The record number of wins strung together without a miss. I simply do not understand how ANYONE can defend a position that Ronnie is the best of all time. Until someone topples Hendry's continued performance there simply isn't any question who the best is. Stephen Hendry, the "King" of the Crucible.
Well 99% of Hendry’s records have been broken by Ronnie, including the World Snooker Championship seven times, a modern era record he currently holds with Stephen Hendry. He has also won a record seven Masters and record seven UK Championship titles for a total of 21 Triple Crown titles, the most won by any player. He holds the record for the most ranking titles in professional snooker, with 39, and has held the world number one ranking on multiple occasions, the fastest and most 147 and he also holds the most 146’s. I’m sure they’re many more records he has broken as well.
Although Stephen was a force in his day (along with Jimmy) and he was undoubtedly the best his of his era, but his prime only lasted for 10 years, unlike Ronnie who has been unstoppable for the past 25/30 years and has shown no signs of slowing down. Hendry said countless times O’Sullivan is far better than he ever was, and he’s honoured to share 7 with him (until he gets his 8th).
I don’t understand how anyone can argue Hendry was better when pretty much all his accomplishments have been beaten by Ronnie O’Sullivan.
@@zlrs0113 I concede every one of your points but you stop short of the five consecutive wins. I still contend it will stand forever (at least as long as we draw breath) and that was the one Ronnie can't touch so he will never have them all! I also still contend that until five consecutive victories is shattered, only one man can stand at the top as the best ever. But I give full credit and kudos to Ronnie for his perseverance and natural ability. As I've said in the past, if there could ever be TWO best ever in any sports it would come tantalizingly close in snooker. There was a day that Ronnie was openly slanderous toward Hendry in the press and Hendry did not rebut verbally, he put Ronnie in his chair and Hendry let his cue do the talking (look that up if you're not aware of it). It wasn't pretty and Ronnie made a discrete, uncharacteristically quiet withdrawal after the match. I thought those days of acrimony (on Ronnie's part) were behind him as well as the ill will. As a whole, it's a shame that the "Ronettes" of the world are so quick and with such venom attack and belittle Hendry who has ALWAYS been as great an ambassador of the game as is Steve Davis. The game has been peppered with talented "personalities" who head-butt officials, openly cheated, argued, and fail to maintain a gentlemanly decorum and then Ronnie felt the urge to snipe. argue, act out and be openly disrespectful of the official during his seventh win (something I suppose your proud of). Ronnie needed to serve up a lot of lip service through the years as to how he respects the game and blah, blah, blah ... but here had to overshadow his own conquering moment with uncontrollable BS when he was in a commanding lead and on his way. Some people just can't help themselves and if that's the guy you want to revere and slander Hendry for anything, well, steam on brother. I won't ask you to change your mind and be assured, I will not change mine.
@@zlrs0113I personally base the goat debate on what the most important attributes are in snooker. Concentration amd consistency. Hendry had the best peak and to win the World and Masters 5 times in a row and to be as dominant as he was for a decent stretch in the 1990's proves he had the best Concentration and consistency.
I keep hearing and seeing the same arguments about O'sullivan breaking his records and their h2h etc. Hendry still has records, the ones I mentioned above plus the 8 years consecutive no.1's, winning the triple crown in 2 seasons etc. He also has a 3-2 record against O'sullivan in the world championships. Also Hendry also competed in different eras, Davis/White and then the class of 92 for example and still held his own against Williams and Higgins.
I don't have an issue with classing them both as goats because neither can replicate each others achievements. Even with O'sullivan smashing records it's now impossible for him to have done it in the time frame that Hendry did.
O'sullivan is more naturally talented and has longevity on his side but he has been inconsistent. Hendry consistently dominated for a period which is hard in snooker due to needing the concentration, commitment and motivation to keep winning more etc. It actually makes me sick how people just copy and paste negative stuff about Hendry's career when he had higher peaks then any player. Weak era? He was beating the class of 92 and why didn't they win more in the 1990's if it was weak?.
Seeing Ronnie and Hendry at their best, I would say it would make it for a really amazing duel for sure. Hendry seemed he could simply not miss. Reckless on his positioning sometimes just because he could pot them all....Ronnie at his best looked more methodical. More like he had a plan. But he is worse at defence to Hendry. Man, Hendry was a terminator. No consideration for human life :) I think the match would be down to the very very rare miss....I would root for both of them. If I had to choose the GOAT, I would've given a small edge to Ronnie due to equal enough talent and longevity...But if we talk skills, Hendry's attack AND defence is to this day unmatched....
I wonder who has lost more matches in there career hendry or O'Sullivan?
What a player, one of the best of all time without doubt.
The ball was on a string during that break. I only seen one ball just slide off the jaw and even then it looks like he was pinching a little to pocket that red. Total class act. I will state this - as a match-player; over a long distance, against any great player past or present at their peak age; I personally think that Stephen Hendry would beat them all. Some might be just a shade more naturally talented, but Hendry's persona in the match itself was peerless. They would all know that and he would have them beaten before the start. A totally dominant force.
Well said.
Swear the crowd were dead, there were so many good shots Hendry played and they never applauded! This was a fantastic break from Hendry. I wish he still played :(
Yavar Durrani
I think the audiences back then were more refined and didn't applaud every little thing. They certainly applauded when he hit the century and at the end
Or maybe majority were Jimmy fans and didn't acknowledge Stephen Hendry. He was a young 19 year old sensation here and he would become king.
Yavar Durrani
Are you younger than 30?
O'Sullivan did much more than this, which means you are dead, too
It used to be that snooker audiences had to be absolutely silent until the end of the break which then gave the round of applause that bit more oomph. These days, there are times when it feels a bit more boozed up. They still know a good break when they see one but just can't control their emotions.
When talking about the most naturally gifted players all we hear is higgins white osullivan trump but it doesn’t get more natural than this. Became slower as his career went on but 7 world titles say that wasn’t a bad decision.
Paul Ramsay early Hendry action was like a staccato piston. By 1992 it was a slower, drowsy action but equally as good. Such a shame he couldn’t trust his action late in his career. The most complete winning machine snooker has seen.
Paul Ramsay he wasn’t that slow anyway , FYI His shot time was his whole career 21 seconds per shot that’s pretty nice for a world champion 7 time although , in the 2002 world champion he won it as we all know that was some match not just ronnie even Stephen hendry matched him 17-19 seconds a shot , well that’s some record now
ansh bhatia hendry was never slow but he played quicker when he was 18 or 19. Thats all i was saying .
Hendry only started playing snooker at 12 and by 16 he was a pro and by 21 he was world champion. That takes unbelievable natural ability.
brilliant break by the King of the Crucible!
Not anymore.
Wow this just shows how good Stephen used to be in the golden days... fast aggressive, sharp and pretty much the best.... notice he didn't pause on his backswing which has made his game play much slower and boring after 1998... but in this time period he was the best player
s80 but he had such sharp pace here if he had this in years later he wouldn't be missing those long pots as you say in giving the match away.... ironically Hendrys pause in his backswing was responsible for his yips where he missed hundreds of pots... so it not only made him miss, it made him slow down enormously, and never allowed him to win a title again .... woww....
He suffered from yips in the latter phase of his career which pretty much reduced him to an also-ran
s80, I agreed with u, but the paused is maybe due to the new cue.
The only player ever where I knew when he came to the table it was frame over a total genius....never thought I'd say this but I miss him.He should hav won 2 more world titles.
He crumbled as soon as he faced real competition. If your name wasn’t Jimmy white then you had a good chance. Literally 4 of his 7 world titles were against Jimmy White…. Then Nigel Bond and Peter Ebdon. Wow. World class opposition…. Not!
@@toziassmittHe beat Ronnie at 3 World championships. He beat a young prime Mark Williams at world championships.. seriously get over yourself. As if you could do better
@@FreeThinkAlways what happened when he faced a Ronnie that wasn’t young? Prime Hendry vs a young and inexperienced Ronnie, that’s your point of pride? …okay 😂. Prime Ronnie slaps prime Hendry and we both know it- even Hendry has admitted so himself. He even admits Ronnie is better. PS make sure to zip up Hendrys trousers once you’re done blowing him
@@FreeThinkAlways And got pummeled by Ronnie in 2 world championships 17-6 & 17 -4,also Ronnie leads Hendry 9-4 in finals...
Hendry was done 24 years ago at 30 years old when standards improved..He realised it was no more a bottler Jimmy or an over the hill Davis! Another overrated bum who just managed 355 centuries in a career spanning 40 years! Hendry was better still one of the most overrated players in history in today's high standards!
@@outlawtorn49-oy4oh he beat a young, pre-prime Ronnie. Prime Ronnie dogwalks him
This cue action is just the same as Ronnie. Quick feathers and almost no back pause. Amazing.
I wish he hadn't changed it. He hated losing so much, he made changes, they worked great for many years, but it never looked natural. He was on the slide, when most players hit their peaks. I'd love to see him try this cue action now, it can't go worse than his current one.
@@sharpvidtube cue action change over the years. Ronnie's also is a little slower than back in the day. Helps keep things compact and close in. :)
Makes it look easy,from a young age he was very good ,a future champion in the making,and of course achieved so much in his career
And his key asset was his mental strength, he just couldn't be beaten on that
What a great commentator Jack Karnehm was.
The problem is that people are a bit too stupid and emotional to recognize utter brilliance in a sport they can't play. The majority of the viewing public prefer unstable showoffs and inconsistent basketcases than true professionals. This is why they called Steve Davis boring, and why Hendry, despite being the clearly more effective player, has to be compared to players who are simply shit, with the exception of Jimmy White, and destined to only die in the shadow of him. No one, and obviously no one, could have met him at his prime and even got near.
I have breaks of 125 all the time and my record time is 3 days 14 minutes over 7 frames.
Ooh,u r batter than mine
Your not that hot
In his prime before he got the yipps the greatest player ever. When he retired he was hundreds of centuries ahead in 100 breaks. Ok Ronnie eventually caught up and surpassed him but if his game hadn't of suffered as it did he'd be out of sight in terms of centuries and it would be more than 7 world titled. Simply the best ever
Hendry was a rock when producing the goods under pressure. Mental strength and bottle was his forte, in those two areas he was in a league of one
"if his game hadn't of suffered as it did he'd be out of sight in terms of centuries and it would be more than 7 world titled"
If he'd been a better player he'd have been a better player, in other words.
Not only is the ball potting very good, but his control of the cue ball as well. A skill even harder than actually potting balls. It wouldn’t matter how much time I had, I could never make a century break.
Tim Heiner: I'm impressed with your video's quality. I've seen many much newer videos in which, from a view of the entire table, I could not reliably distinguish some of the colours from the reds. Great job!
Stephen Hendry in his prime, GOAT.
its amazing, i watched snooker back in the day, and all i can remember of hendry is everyone talking about him during one tournament, think it was his first WC win. I dont remember him being there deep into the davis era trading blows as a really young dude
Doesn’t get any better than that
His cue ball control in his prime was so underrated
Gra jak z nut , gra muzyka -gitara .Czysto ,płynnie, wyśmienicie i doskonale ogląda się taki kunszt wykonanie.
Good eye and ear you have.
The best ever at long pots by far
This is why they call him "King Hendry".
Wait for Ronnie to 8 Worlds then it will be "the king is dead, long live king Ronnie".
@@ppppugh7892 hahaha
Stephen and jimmy were amazing on the green blaze in there DAY.
Simply sublime, and he would only get even better.

Just amazing
Every seems to forget Hendry Lost his cue (airline broke his Original cue) then his game started to suffer'
Yea most of us came to this video via the link from the lost cue video too!
Every also seems to forget how to spell
@@edwardwoodward8052 Obviously you don't get it.. Bless
He was starting to suffer before. I remember him making changes to the weight of the cue in the base well before it was broken.
KristaL Mac LeoD that cannot be the reason, guess how many times ronnie changes his cues..? Any idea? And he is still one of the greatest alive..
Seems that the referees used to re spot the balls a lot quicker in those days. The one here is almost running every time Hendry pots a color.
i got a break of 28 on my 4 by 2 many moons ago....i did resposition 1 shot but as i playn myself i deemed it legal. not bad goin
🤣🤣🤣
This match was terrific Jimmy won 13-12
The GOAT...
Good game, enjoyed it
The best there's been
No
@@chrisjenkins5846 yes
Sorry but Ronnie is the best play in regards to talent. The only reason hes not won more is his attitude. If he was a determined winner he would have been world number 1 for the last 15 years
@@paulowen9725
Maybe there's a paradox in there somewhere. If he was more determined and dedicated to practice and have the right approach etc, well maybe he wouldn't have been the player he is. Just a thought.
The Greatest
you wonder what the laughter is about at the other table then you hear the ref say 'dennis taylor'
can hear the people watching next door laughing after dennis taylor misses a shot by the sounds of it. Must be Dennis being Dennis as he always was and making them laugh lol.. Anyway grew up watching Hendry, fantastic player who took the game to a new level when he arrived.
Ref clapping at the end. respect
If only Jimmy knew back then.
In the zone during this break
Little did they knew this kid was gonna beat jimmy 6 times in the world final
Jimmy lost 6 world finals . 4 losses against Hendry .one against Steve Davis and one against John Parrott . Would have loved to see Jimmy win one ..but unfortunately wasn't to be .
Hendry is the GOA
Incredible.
Easily the greatest middle pocket potter of all time !
he's 19 years old here
Just'a teenage.......!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Liquid stuff.
This speed is what Hendry failed to keep up where O’Sullivan hadn’t, which I think is why The Rocket always maintained his fanbase
Good point
Very young and very very young 🤔😁
Even then White was already a perfect underdog before Hendry.
Amazing.
Scotish snooker prodigy the goat
Blimey... G'wan ya Celtic legend/Wee bonnie Scot'..🔥
Watching this compared to his 2021 comeback century is like night and day, this was so effortless and natural, the 2021 century was laboured, stiff, hard work, just basically a struggle, maybe Hendry shouldn't have made this comeback, I feel the qualifiers for the world championship will be a step too far, the quality is too high, no doubt this young version of Hendry would easily qualify, just physically and mentally much better in his younger days. If he wanted to make comeback he should have done it 5-6 years ago in his 40s.
This young version wouldnt just qualify he would win!
@@scotpak100 Yes he would.
Hi there, does anybody have this match...
A perfect score. I've never been into snooker myself. I always preferred billiards.
Bk when the picture shows just how BIG the tables are
Markheitz tables exactly same size as nowadays.
Tables were exactly same size 12×6
that magic cue
Good old days when people applauded exceptional shots, centuries and the winning of frames.
Now people clap for the most average of shots, after every visit to the table, for crap breaks under 30, for getting to the “snookers required” stage. Not that some of these shots don’t deserve an applaud but I think it should be reserved for when something really good happens. Rant over.
It was around that time when Stephen knew he could pot ANYTHING.....barely cared about his positioning.
God mode.
If only Jimmy new what was to come !!! Been watching the repeats on BBC of the finals he played in. WTF. Should have nobbled Hendry here. 😀
He did nobble him. White won the match 13-12
If Ronnie is The Rocket, Stephen must be the Torpedo. Hits you when you're not even aware of it.

no the camera angle was higher so it gives the impression that the table is lower
Use to enjoy watching hendry great player I prefer ronnie jimmy and alex but hendry was more cool and calculated
It's crazy how snooker has changed .....them pockets visually look a hell of alot bigger .....if you put today's tables in that era they would all struggle massively
Do you even know what snooker is?
The pockets are roughly the same according to the pros. The main changes are the table cloths being finer and balls being lighter these days. Players in the 80s and 90s would of loved to play on todays tables.
Black to yellow
Nice break but get in jimmy
Easy? Easy easy for hendry. Lol 😂. U should hv watch how many long pot hendry took on in a game against Alex higgin.
Makes you appreciate even more Ronnie's FULL 147 break in 5:20.
He's also at 1,045 in century breaks. That's 300+/- ahead of his nearest competition.
They barely stop playing snooker these days so there's alot more opportunities to get alot more breaks, it's got to be said!
Paul Keywood , Are there more tournaments to play at these days? More players trying?
@@flymastera8199 There are way way more tournaments now.
SavageArfad , I totally agree! Hendricks was great!
Same with Pistol Pete. His college record still stands and he didn’t have a 3-point line. His pro record would have been the same if not for racism.
O’Sullivan’s century record record may outlast him.
Boxing’s elite have to go to Ali to find someone to compare Lomachenko to, and most say Lomachenko is better. And the ‘elite’ boxers won’t fight him in any division he fights in. Cheater Salido needs to be stripped of his win over Loma.
Once again, I get to witness a GOAT.
SavageArfad , gear = cue?
Those pockets are buckets
Generally commentary is boring but gosh it was so bad back then. I always hated virgo commentary for forever stating the obvious
Indeed and Virgo also always says about "snookers required" which is irrelevant when the other player almost certainly isn't going to come back to the table. Why he doesn't say "the frame is secure" or "to secure the frame" I'll never know!
That's one fucking dead crowd.
