A lovely rewatch. Two of the nicest and most genuine gentlemen on the tour playing superb snooker, with a couple of easy misses (on both sides) to add to the drama.
Mark is very friendly with Hendry (probably his best snooker friend) Mark ALWAYS brings up the black he (Hendry) missed hehehe come on the WELSH 🏴
That wasn't against the nap. The nap runs from baulk to top (Colours to black). Against the nap would be a shot with the white near the middle pocket and the black over a baulk corner pocket.
@DanielRBW well, if you can imagine a carpenter sanding down a wooden top sideways, that would be against the grain of the wood. You've answered the question yourself. The nap of the cloth doesn't run sideways.
@user-vo6zk9iw2i just been watching Hendry's channel. Maybe they're just razzing him, but pretty sure Williams, who had the best view, said he reckoned he twitched
A lot more money in snooker with cig sponsors...1998 I bought a 2 bed house in Dorset for £60k, so £145k was decent back then. Today Masters prize is £250k, but you couldn't buy that same house today for 250k!

Who let those children in to play snooker? 😂 That's why I don't like having photos taken it just reminds me of how old I look now whilst my brain thinks it's still 21.
Always chokes under pressure against Ebdon, Ken, Mathew Stevens and the list too long to name, But never chokes against poor Jimmy. Funny old game this snooker!
@@bennylloyd-willner9667 My comment was based on what I've seen in the last 40 years Obviously you must not know the name of these two players, and I saw a massive choke on the Black . I've also seen a 9-0 whitewash in 1998, the biggest meltdown in the history of snooker MIGHTY MARCUS 💪🏆♥♥
@WAYNEHOLMES-tc8ut ok. I only saw names of players not in the video so I wondered a bit what you were on about.. I didn't know Stephen Hendry was so bad as you describe. I thought he had accomplished quite a lot in snooker through the years. I stand corrected...

i agree- he is continually posting stuff where he spouts off about how he is entitled to his "opinion" about things, and that we should be able "speak freely" at all times- he is a total tosser living in cloud cuckoo land

Nice to hear Dennis Taylor shoehorn a reference in there to the 1985 worlds. He rarely mentions it 😮

Stephen wouldn’t be happy seeing this re-uploaded 😀
Greatest Welsh player after Ray Reardon R.I.H
Love Mark Williams can’t believe how different he looks
You’re going to age bad too
Oh look, Neville and Draco are playing Wizard's Snooker!
It’s hard to believe this final was 50 years ago already
Extremely.

I was at that final, i lost £20 supporting Hendry!!!!
Against the nap of the cloth, Hendry was left with a nasty shot on the black. Looked easy on our screen. Great final.
That wasn't against the nap. The nap runs from baulk to top (Colours to black). Against the nap would be a shot with the white near the middle pocket and the black over a baulk corner pocket.

Pretty sure they all reckon it was a twitch
@renegadechic it wasn't a twitch I was watching it live at the time, I remember it like yesterday. I think you've been playing table tennis 😄

Two legends...

read the description, this Masters event was sponsored by Johnstone's Paint
@@dab88 No, it was Benson and Hedges. Johnstone's Paint is the current sponsor of the tournament.

Some great Matchs
Wow! Simply Wow!
คลาสสิค&อมตะ❤🎉
Hendrey vs Lee Evans
What a match
Can remember watching this like it was yesterday - willing the black to not go into the pocket for Hendry.
Great final. That hendry miss was so uncharacteristic
Always some weird spooky snooker fans in the comments. Hendry dominated this era
As mark puts it today there was a little twitch.
Приємно бачити молодих майстрів кия!
he would normally have belted that in.
No chance not from that angle 😂
He's won it all and this 7:23 is the shot everyone will remember him for. "What a shame" - as Gordon Ramsay would describe it.
Who let those children in to play snooker? 😂 That's why I don't like having photos taken it just reminds me of how old I look now whilst my brain thinks it's still 21.

But the signs are there, for sure.
