- Stephen Hendry had already won 6 Masters titles in 1998 and he was up against the rising Welshman Mark Williams in the final of 1998 at the Wembley Conference Centre.
Williams looks like Neville Longbottom here!
Ha, he actually does good shout buddy.
My god he does spitting image 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
What a finalé! In the background at around 8:11, you can actually see Mark Williams prepare to shake Hendry's hand - he obviously thought it was in as well!
Great spot!
Stephen lost the match missing the pink in frame 16. From that point on it was a chain of events. Stephen Hendrys game was deteriorating, his trade mark long potting was not as good as it had once been. Just like Steve Davis 10 year run at the top before him, Stephens 10 year run was soon to end. Neither were as effective in the decade that followed. Both were playing below their best at maybe 80% and with the new wave of hungry players coming onto the scene neither of them no longer had the edge they once had. All we saw after their decline was flashbacks, but consistency failed them time after time. All good thing come to an end.
mrghiax you make great points! And lol o Sullivan having just won his 33rd ranking title 25 years since his 1st!!! 42 years of age, no signs at all of ANY decline!!
In fact Alan McManus, Stephen Hendry and Neil Foulds have all said this year in 2018 that Ronnie is playing better than he ever has done! This was from itv grand Prix event and just now the Ladbrokes players championship. Last year in October 2017 in the English Open final in the WHOLE session Ronnie made a 98% pot success rate Only missing 6 balls out of 300+ which is stupidly too good.....
Go figure this one out lol.
Totally agree with you though about Steve And Stephen
amarsbarr I think it’s down to fitness, Ronnie keeps physically fit and he’s a natural at the game so he doesn’t need as much practice has the other players. Most players play in a robotic style while Ronnie plays more uniquely

“Listen to the roar.” Always remember that. Ray Edmonds was a great commentator.
This was the third major final hendry had lost in a row after the 97 world's and the 97 UK championship, he only won one more major after this, it was the end of his era of dominance at this time
This final was probably the first time Hendry s confidence took a big knock, he’d lost finals before but this was probably the first time he’d lost from such a dominant position, he’d played some decent stuff in this final but as he says himself he missed easier chances to win long before the black and that was a hard black dead straight from the cushion. His form went downhill for a number of months after this, he only won one ranking event that season and lost to Jimmy White in the first round at the crucible, lost the no 1 ranking and then it culminated in losing 9 0 to Marcus Campbell in the 1998 uk championship. He re employed his former coach Frank Callan who immediately pointed out a cueing flaw he had developed ie he wasn’t hitting the cue ball in the middle and wasn’t practicing the long hours he had been and not long after this his form improved and he won his seventh world title in 1999.
Re-spotted black for the title. This is where champions are made. Black ball games in the club make me nervous! Imagine how hard it is with a huge crowd plus millions at home watching and tens of thousands of pounds on the line!!

look at that pocket at 2:03, its much smaller than pockets nowadays!
Beautiful final match.❤❤❤
Hendry vs Davis was the highlight in snooker in the late 80s/early 90s.
Stephen Hendry’s greatest ever win was against Mike Hallett in the 1991 Masters Final coming back from 7-0 and 8-2 behind to win 9-8.
Next is his win over Ken Doherty in the UK Championship Final where he recorded seven century breaks.
His win over Ronnie O’Sullivan in the Liverpool Victoria Charity Challenge Final with the 147 and four centuries each. 8-2 up, pegged back to 8-8 then wins the decider with the maximum. Class!
Beating Steve Davis 16-15 in the 1990 UK Championship. It confirmed his new reign of dominance and the end Steve Davis’ reign.
Beating Jimmy White 18-5 in the 1993 World Championship Final where he was vastly superior to everybody he played. 136 total clearance in the first frame from his visit to the table.
Winning the record SEVENTH world title in 1999 against Mark Williams 18-11.
His first Crucible Maximum in 1995 against Jimmy White in the semi-final in frame 12.
was never the same after this Hendry - in his heyday he would never have missed that - he would never have missed it against Jimmy for example
Hendry wasn't as dominant when the 'Class of 92' came into prominence but he was still a top player which he proved by winning the world title the following year. That generation of players simply weren't giving Hendry the amount of chances in frames that Jimmy White was giving him so it may seem as though he was playing worse when he wasn't, at the time.
Best snooker match of all time for pure entertainment
Hey, there's something else. I've always wanted to ask this from someone who truly knows things: do you think snooker is not the same game as.. what's the name now.. oh, 8-ball? I mean, come one, they both got the same tables, right? All the other different sports like tennis and football also have different fields so that makes snooker the same as 8-ball, right? Right? Am I right?
That has got to be the best finish to match ever, better than davis vs that irish guy in 84. still hairraising!
8:10 Basically how i cue on a snooker table
Ken said, "It affectively signalled the end of his career"...I'm guessing you never watched the 1999 World Final then, Kenneth!
If you listen to it again he said it signalled the end of an era.
This is my favourite Snooker match ever!
Mark Williams looked so young. But no one can say Hendry should have won because he had his chances as well to win the match but he blew it.
Greatest Masters final ever?
This is even better than Taylor - Davis, so sad I missed it. :(
98 was the beginning of the end of Hendry's utter domination of snooker. He had a brief reprieve the following year, when he turned on Hendry mode and got to 6 or 7 major finals and won most of them. But as soon as 1999 turned into 2000, Hendry's dapper suit turned into street rags, his cue turned into a broom, and his sports car into a pumpkin. If only his fairy godmother could've granted him that eigth title. Peter fucking Ebdon.. ugh. Cold sweats Stephen? You and me both, bro, you and me both
Peter ebdon is underrated tbh. I'd probably put him in my top 10. Hes a very tough player, holds notable wins against Ronnie o sullivan. And beat John Higgins several times. For me he's an ATG
Mark Williams best pressure shooter ever...
Of course it is. But that was nowhere near a _hard_ ball.
Best match ever!!!
Wait! No Ken-Doherty-Butthead-laugh in this video???????
was there another camera angle on hendrys final shot?
THE reason Hendry lost this is blatantly obvious at the very beginning of this clip. When leaning on the table with Williams he is SMILING!!!!! His edge had gone, he’d become mates with him… Fatal!!!! Hendry Never let anyone in.. this is what happened when he did !!!
One riding memory of this, more so than the respotted black perhaps.
Referee Chamberlain going...
"You have won the toss, you have won the toss... YOU HAVE WON THE TOSS!"
He could've hit the other side to make the cue bump from the cushion. That wasn't it.
Mark Williams is a great player. I can't believe Stephen Hendry missed that black ball at the end. 9 times out of 10 Stephen Hendry would have potted that black but pressure strikes again but still well played Mark Williams.
Hendry really deserved that trophy, it's sad that he lost in such a dramatic way
Young Mark reminds me of McLovin!
Hen Smithers, although Ronnie beats Stephen hendry in natural talent and quickness of play, Hendry had something Ronnie doesnt quite have. Temperment
But so what do you think of the wearther? Is it sunny there? Because sun is lovely, eh? I mean all the light and warmth. It's... pure brilliance!
Who in 2019?
I'm pleased Mark has had something of a resurgence in today's game to say the least! He deserves it fully. Always been a very entertaining player. Also, great video. Compliments to the poster. Great tension music at the perfect volume (I've seen a lot of snooker videos & quite frankly.......lol. This is sublime)
the black hendry missed only looks easy. a straight shot when the cue ball is near the cushion is the worst thing ever. if you just hit it straight the cue ball will fall into the pocket with the black. if the cue ball was not that close to the cushion bottom spin would be a solution but the cushion didn't let him do that. thats why hendry tried to cut it and he hoped it will fall from the bottom corner of the pocket. but under pressure it's very hard and it was an overcut...
This was the one time were hendrys temperament let him down.
But do you think it was difficult after all?
Stephen Hendry is and will be the best player we've ever seen!!!!!!!!
Then that makes Ronnie osullivan a demigod
Nooooo, because it has that "e" in the end, right?
Is he? That guy is so hard to find (even now that I know his name) so thanks very much.
anyone else think Williams looks like Neville Longbottom? =p
How about a year ago?
was
Hendry was so close on that pink at 9-6!
Who's that commentator at 2:00?
unbelievable final
amazing final!
Hendry that pink at 9-6
How did Hendry miss that black. Granted, it's not as easy as the average layman would think, but still.. For me it signals something other than pressure. For a start, Hendry like no other player before, was a master at pressure shots. He sunk them all day long. For ten years he was the king of taking pressure and shoving it down a pocket in front of the object ball. Missing that black isn't about the pressure of winning another tournament, there's some other psychological menace at play here.
Also, do you think the game of snooker is in fact, a game? I mean I had this unbelievably weird dream, you're gonna love it, where it was just a.. rug. I know. I wouldn't have believed it either! So anyway the rug was just lying there on the floor and suddenly.. I woke up! Yeah, I know, isn't that weird too! Can't wait what's gonna happen next in this odd infested world.
Davis-Taylor Hendry-Williams - best finals ever!!!
Davis, Hendry, Williams are my favourite players for so many years)))
And also i think Mark's shirt is a bit large for him))) Take a look at 8:46.
It was a great Match. I remember seeing this and staying up past my bedtime and had to be at school the next day.
The 1997 Masters final was a classic with Steve Davis beating Ronnie O'Sullivan. I stayed up to watch that and I was on half term at school then.
@victor140780
yeah, way too large!
I think that now that he got fatter he wears shirts of a smaller size! :-)
I know it was. But you originally gave the impression that it was hard either way - which it wasn't, which was my point.
Dude literally tears awsum framr
look at the ref at 8:14 compared to everyone else in the background. not a single shit was given.
Lol, I would never guess it's Mark Williams here. He looks so different from today.
No doubt Hendry was absolutely amazing but Williams was so stylish and great to watch.
omg i cant believe hendry missed that easy black, must be the pressure. good job mark williams!
In addition I just got this very important question to ask, you're gonna love this: is snooker spelled s-n-o-o-k-r?
Heath Ledger could have easily won this
its ok because Hendry took revenge in the next year's world championship :)
what a great video, i never seen this video before.. but really its a great master piecce !!
What's the background music?
mark williams feels no pressure in all kind of match at all
Williams amount of pit sweat made his shirt look xlarge
I thought it was great, lol.
Well I'm a youngster, so I guess that's it.
Also, do you think life is hard? At all? You know?
Oh, and, and also: what day is it today?
looked like "Bullshit best" lol
Com certeza uma das melhores disputas da história do Snooker!!!
Great Final
Williams Shot at 7.40 was a beauty...even though it didn't go in.
+Paul Mc Here's a short story: The 1998 Masters final between Stephen Hendry and Mark Williams turned out to be an enthralling encounter, climaxing in a re-spotted black in the deciding frame. Williams potted the black ball in the top right corner for his most famous and significant win.
it was the best missed shot ever! :-)
omfg epic match!!
i have a question for you all, what's the name of the background music? I bet nobody can answer this. I challenge all of you.
Easy! What's my reward first?? :)
And I've just noticed - the music is in the description too.
AngrierGorilla Yes, it says: Music "The Mission" by The BBC National Orchestra of Wales & Ben Foster (Google Play • iTunes • eMusic)
This is just below the video description, outlining the the final. But I've known about this tune for a year or so now. Just thought I'd share my knowledge! :)
it is Torchwood 07 the mission
what a match
had my money on hendry for a few hundred quid , was absolutely gutted at the time , muppet
8:09 Miss of the Century, no question at all.
Lawrence Howard what about steve davis' miss in the world championship in 1985?
חביב פסטלים difficult shot in my eyes, tight angle for that.
@@lawro04 against the nap too. Much harder than it looks to anyone with snooker knowledge
You're obviously not a snooker player. Slow roll across the nap?
Hendry's decline was rapid - never won much else after 1999 , O'Sullivan won the UK 21 years apart - he definitely surpassed Hendry
Hendry's decline was mainly due to yips, and that started during the time of this match hence why 99 was his last championship, there was other problems like motivation issues after winning so much during the 90's and burn out after playing and winning so much, BUT Ronnie hasn't surpassed Hendry at all, Hendry still has a lot more ranking titles and 2 more world championships, and it looks like Ronnie doesn't have more than 2 world championships left in him, he is nearly 40 to get another 3 world championships to surpass Hendry looks unlikely now, maybe in 2013 when he was in middle of his rich vein of form it was possible but after Selby beat him last year the decline seems constant now.
number of World titles isnt relevant - Hendry did not turn pro in 1992
Hen Smithers "number of World titles isnt relevant". No? And what is?
it isnt relevant when idiots say Hendry is better than O'Sullivan - Joe Davis is better than Hendry then
Oh, wow, another keyboard warrior who needs insulting to "prove a point". You don't deserve any more attention from me. By the way, did you see Joe Davis play? That's what I thought.
I remember this match so well! It was the day Mark Williams became my favourite snooker player! He is too awesome for words! :)
Please tell me which is the name of the song from the beginning at 0:22 ?
torchwood-the mission
amazing series!
shame hendry lost tho
