@@toziassmitt Ronnie is better by Hendry by miles...He leads Hendry in finals and overrall..If you look at their match ups..9-4 in finals to Ronnie ,and 30-21..Hendry wins were by slim margins..When Ronnie won most times against Hendry,he hammered him with huge margins.Ronnie at his best far better than hendry at his best!
@James Woods where are your 777 centuries? There are so many weird cunts on this comment section. Who actually cares. Stephen Hendry was great in his day, Ronnie is great they have both given their life to the game of snooker. Ronnie is the best ever, in my opinion, but shooting down hendry is childish. Hope you enjoy your 11th birthday party. Enjoy the pubes and under arm hair. One day it starts growing out your nose.
JV is such a great commentator. He injects so much passion into his commentary. More he ages the better his voice. Same goes for Dennis T. Great to see that’s there’s life after retiring from snooker. Hendry is heading exactly the same way. Keep up the great work.
JV and Stephen together are great to listen to, Dennis Taylor and Ken Doherty on the other hand send me to sleep!, also John Parrott doesn't add anything always just pointing out the obvious and his attempts at humour are really cringy!
Stephen and JV are my favourite commentators. Love Rob Walker, he was great every time I went to the Crucible, gets the crowd into it before the match starts. I remember him introducing Brendan Moore for his first ever match at the Crucible, thought he was a good ref from the first time I saw him. Will be sad to see him go.
10:38 Ive only been to the Crucible once back in 2008, I was in the front row on table 1 watching Ronnie in the first round against a young Chinese lad, and I gotta admit, Rob Walkers opening presentation actually gave me chills and made me really feel like I was part of something! his enthusiasm is top notch
I loved seeing AND hearing Virgo & Stephen in the booth! ☺️ After hearing them for so many years it’s so cool to watch them talking for a few seconds during a match 👏👏 Also, sticking a mic in Walker’s face was very deserving .. 😅 he works hard sure, but I’ve often thought that he isn’t as cognizant as Hazel or others when interviewing the losers .. he has too big a smile on his face and it’s not appropriate in those situations. Anyways great tour in the great building!! 👍
The Mecca of snooker the crucible theatre Sheffield.......where tears of elation and pain are etched in its legendary history, ....the drama , the excitement , the pain and the ecstasy from all the great players that have graced this sacred coliseum of snooker
Wonderful video. Long before the land of Sky Sports. This was my life. This was my childhood. Age 9 and in awe of the ‘85 final and early teens watching Stephen dominate the ‘90s. Wonderful, wonderful memories. And a more simple World. No mobile, social media. Less stress, more contentment.
Stephen is a natural, everything he has done after his snooker career, he is exceptional, Stephen would have been a huge success in any endevour he chose.
Fantastic back room footage! You Guys do a great Job! My Grandma always said you were almost as Good as Steve Davis!😂 now my Son Luke and I play and watch lots of your content! Brilliant! 👍 and a special shout out to Rob! 😊 all the Best Chris originally from Burton on Trent
Fantastic as always. Your videos are just fantastic Stephen. It's not only the real insight and knowledge though, for me what really makes them is all that but combined with real warmth, humour and humility. So humble and down to earth for a player who is undoubtedly one of if not the best players ever
Enjoyed the little chat with Rob Walker. He really is very adept when it comes to interviewing players when passions are high and he is a great commentator and MC. He doesn't get enough appreciation at all.
Superb! I always wondered what it must be like to walk down those steps and past the table. Thank you Stephen for such a thoughtful tour for the fans! :)
Best bit of the video for me was 17:23. As someone who has been pondering whether or not to get a ticket for next year's champs, this has tipped the balance. Gives you a good perspective of the view you get from up there.
This was amazing Stephen. I've always wanted to know what's it like. Where do I get Ur ideas from. BBC and Eurosport need u in charge....u give the fans what they want....impressed how u know better than TV bosses what people Wana see!! Thankyou Stephen thoroughly enjoyed as always. Amazing channel....
I met Rob Walker at the Lakeside World Darts a few years ago, he was a true gent. Always puts his all into the job. Thanks for the upload, it's great to get an insight as to what goes on at the home of snooker.
Loves the tour around the crucible been watching it for years and always wanted to see what it was like back stage awesome content Stephen keep them coming
Thanks for the video Stephen! It's really great, offering us for a glimpse behind the scenes. It seems like you have emotional ties to the place, memories in every room, which makes the video special. I have a dream of taking my father there. Hopefully I can make it happen in the near future!
The footage of the commentary happening live is so fascinating. We're seeing things that we've never been able to see before as snooker fans, really great stuff
Thanks for the tour Stephen. As a youngster who lived and dreamed snooker I always wished I was going to be there one day. It never happened for me....I would have loved to have your talent.
Stephen really knows how to make things more entertaining from a snooker fan perspective. This was a really good video, very insightful of the goings on behind the "Iron Curtain" of the legendary Crucible Theatre! Nice One.👍
@@wayneanthonyholmes4437 You really are starting to make me laugh now, honestly, do you not have anything else better to do? If you don't like the guy, why do you watch ALL HIS VIDEOS and spend time commenting on them? You are either an attention seeker, or you have something wrong with you. Everyone knows how good Hendry was in his prime, no one is asking for your opinion all the time. Pretty sad really, but highly laughable now when I see you post with your fakeness, gives me a good old chuckle....🍿😂
Great video. After having tickets for the World Championship that got cancelled due to COVID, really want to go next year. Videos like this only whet the appetite!
I love these videos. Genuinely believe they are brilliant for the game of snooker. Giving fans such insight connects people further with the game than they were. They are so relaxed also ❤
I think every snooker fan out there wants another Stephen Hendry run. All the best my man. Love your RUclips channel and grew up idolising yi my man. Where’s the cue ball going
The place seems a lot bigger than I thought. I know places always look bigger through a wide angle lens, but still it seems odd that some players complain that it's too small. And the number of corridors is amazing - you could easily get lost, I think.
King of the Crucible! 29 matches unbeaten run, most centuries in a single tournament(16)and the highest win rate there. Legend.
Ronnie is better
@@toziassmitt Ronnie is better by Hendry by miles...He leads Hendry in finals and overrall..If you look at their match ups..9-4 in finals to Ronnie ,and 30-21..Hendry wins were by slim margins..When Ronnie won most times against Hendry,he hammered him with huge margins.Ronnie at his best far better than hendry at his best!
@@toziassmitt Ronnie couldn't win 5 in a row.
And still the youngest ever winner, thought Si might take that this year.
@@roadtosnookerfinals-te4je 1999 was the closest to Stephen's peak, he beat Ronnie 17-13 in the semi-final.
Stephen is that much of a legend of the Crucible, he surely must have his own set of keys !!
Shh! No one is supposed to know that!

😅😅
@user-mc5ve7ju7c 😂😂😂brilliant so all those maximums and centuries were because he had weak opponents.... can i have some of what your having
JV is such a great commentator. He injects so much passion into his commentary. More he ages the better his voice. Same goes for Dennis T. Great to see that’s there’s life after retiring from snooker. Hendry is heading exactly the same way. Keep up the great work.
@@MrSifter that’s a terrible decision
I think you may have sold me songs, when I was just sixteeeeen!
@@MrSifter It was the case but thankfully it has been reversed so they will be around for a while :)
JV needs to pack it up. His inane/insane ramblings are too much.
JV and Stephen together are great to listen to, Dennis Taylor and Ken Doherty on the other hand send me to sleep!, also John Parrott doesn't add anything always just pointing out the obvious and his attempts at humour are really cringy!
1:36 Where's the John Virgo goin'?! Thank you for the incredible videos, Stephen!!!!!!
Are you gonna keep the videos coming during the off season Stephen ? These are my Sunday afternoon favourite things 👌👌👌
When does the season start again mate ?
@@AGxAG 26th June - championship league which runs to 21st July
You are the master❤

Love Rob! Always gets the crowd going
Liu Chuang was the Chinese player
I loved seeing AND hearing Virgo & Stephen in the booth! ☺️ After hearing them for so many years it’s so cool to watch them talking for a few seconds during a match 👏👏

Anyways great tour in the great building!! 👍
See his love for snooker, the way his face and heart lights up 5:21
Brilliant can't wait for this Stephen. 7 times what a Legend
Ste hendry King of snooker in his prime 90's. Best view of crucible ever, thanks.
The Mecca of snooker the crucible theatre Sheffield.......where tears of elation and pain are etched in its legendary history, ....the drama , the excitement , the pain and the ecstasy from all the great players that have graced this sacred coliseum of snooker
Been a great year, the 147 last night was memorable. Hoping to go to the crucible next year!
Wonderful video.
Long before the land of Sky Sports. This was my life. This was my childhood. Age 9 and in awe of the ‘85 final and early teens watching Stephen dominate the ‘90s. Wonderful, wonderful memories.
And a more simple World. No mobile, social media. Less stress, more contentment.
Thanks Stephen. Please keep up the high quality content during the off season!
Absolutely loved this tour! Thanks for sharing this unique experience with us!
What a great episode Stephen! What a great person to take us around such a fabled place. Keep up the good job man!
I love these videos. These are just absolute gold. The insight, the knowledge, the experience.
Ah, this was absolutely brilliant!!! Thanks so much for this!!
Your videography and editing team is great. This is high quality stuff that you're giving us.
Stephen is a natural, everything he has done after his snooker career, he is exceptional, Stephen would have been a huge success in any endevour he chose.
Stephen Hendry, King of the Crucible and Legend
I absolutely love this. Thank you to the producers who always know exactly what we want to see - the excerpt from coms with JV for example. Top class.
Great insights, thanks!
The King of the Crucible for a reason!
Great tour of the Crucible Theatre, Great video Stephen.
It’s an incredible theatre and Sheffield is a beautiful city. I’ve been every year since 2002 and it’s as exciting now as it was 21 years ago. 😎
Thank you so much Stephen! Really enjoyed the video
Love how humble Stephen is!
Fantastic back room footage! You Guys do a great Job! My Grandma always said you were almost as Good as Steve Davis!😂 now my Son Luke and I play and watch lots of your content! Brilliant! 👍 and a special shout out to Rob! 😊 all the Best Chris originally from Burton on Trent
Stephens hilarious, he’s tired of watching boring safety play - must be beaming with how Luca is playing, the right way!
Fantastic as always. Your videos are just fantastic Stephen. It's not only the real insight and knowledge though, for me what really makes them is all that but combined with real warmth, humour and humility. So humble and down to earth for a player who is undoubtedly one of if not the best players ever
My thoughts exactly!
Absolutely fantastic!!
When you talk about mental toughness and ruthlessness in sport, Hendry’s right up there. You can see it in his eyes even now.
Really enjoyed that Stephen! :-)
Amazing content as always champ! Keep 'em coming! So nice to get to see the behind of camera! Thanks!
😂 😂 😂 😂 Get a life ffs pal... Its seats and a snooker table 🤷♂️🤦♂️
If u stop making videos I will be heartbroken, truly a pleasure to watch.
That was Wonderful! Thanks Steven & especially Brenda's. Snooker won't be the same without you
The crucible truly is the home of snooker to think it comes under pressure every few years to keep the world championships is astonishing
Its not big enough to hold the championship
Enjoyed the little chat with Rob Walker. He really is very adept when it comes to interviewing players when passions are high and he is a great commentator and MC. He doesn't get enough appreciation at all.
Superb! I always wondered what it must be like to walk down those steps and past the table.

Stephen Hendry Owns the crucible
Brilliant. Thank you Stephen. You are such a great ambassador for the game.
I absolutely adore John Virgo & Dennis Taylor
They are the official voices of Snooker.
Love the video ❤️
Rob walker is a great presenter, a great person and simply great for snooker! Honestly snooker has the best representation out of all sports.
By far the best snooker channel on RUclips, keep it up Stephen.

Interview and a frame with the ref soon please🙏 I want to hear how he felt reffing his last world championship final and witnessing a 147 😍
That was superb.....
Great video. After having tickets for the World Championship that got cancelled due to COVID, really want to go next year. Videos like this only whet the appetite!
Fantastic! Stephen Hendry... A legend on and off the table.
Fantastic to get an 'almost' live tour just before the final session 👍
that's what I thought too! Amazing piece of video, especially with a cameo from John Parrot
Love this stuff, please keep it coming!
0:03 Makes you realise just how compact and claustrophobic the two table set up is when you see that view.
Great tour Stephem. Great to have such a legend do something like this
Excellent tour, Stephen is doing an amazing job
Thoroughly enjoyed watching that as I do with all of your videos. Thank you.
Stephen Hendry Legend ❤
Great insight , really enjoyed it 👍🏽
Brilliant watching JV working his magic
Excellent video. Really enjoy behind the scenes content.
I love these videos. Genuinely believe they are brilliant for the game of snooker. Giving fans such insight connects people further with the game than they were. They are so relaxed also ❤
Great videos, Stephen. Favourite new channel. Thank you
Love his honesty … feeling pangs of jealously about the player walking out to play snooker at the very top level.
u r an amazing person and those who can never get an opputunity to visit such arena like such an amazing visit
Great work Stephen,
Hopefully you can get some more players on the hard table challenge off season.
Awesome insight Stephen...love the videos...keep up the great work!
I enjoyed every minute of that!
This channel never disappoints.
I think every snooker fan out there wants another Stephen Hendry run. All the best my man. Love your RUclips channel and grew up idolising yi my man. Where’s the cue ball going
Mind blowing tour
Great to get this insight from the King of the Crucible.
Great tour stephen loved it ❤
Very insightful. Many thanks Stephen.
That was fascinating and exciting to watch,just awesome👏👏👏

And the number of corridors is amazing - you could easily get lost, I think.
Fantastic video. Thank you very much for sharing. Stephen your approach to these videos keeps it’s real.
Been to Ally Pally a few times for the Masters, went to the crucible for the first time this year and it instantly felt special. What a arena.
Thanks for the tour Stephen 👍
Crucible is a great name for it
great tour thanks Stephen
I will be going this year for the first time. And it will be to the semis and final. I cannot wait. Probably be once in a lifetime for me.
I really like these videos, keep up the good work Stephen.
I really enjoyed watching this, thanks for posting. You are the best!
What a great channel discovery - fantastic!!
What a brilliant video Stephen :) loved every second of it
