    At his peak he was unbeatable. If my life depended on a snooker player having to pot an awkward ball in order to save my life, 1990s Hendry would be the one I’d choose. The man was a potting machine. He took snooker to a different level. Ronnie has obviously taken it further but a 90s Hendry was unplayable and had no visible weaknesses whereas Ronnie had plenty and still has a few. Hendry’s mental toughness was as good as his snooker ability.

    Hendry can still play to a decent standard but not strong enough to be a winner anymore. He's old and his game abandoned him it's a sad story but nothing will change what he's accomplished in snooker and he still loves the game and is a commentator he has not totally abandoned it he plays now and then aswell. His legacy lives on with what he's achieved in the game nothing can change what he's achieved that's set in cement so to speak that's done and dusted so he's more than allowed to still play, win or lose it doesn't matter he's done his bit in snooker he has nothing to prove so he plays for fun that's a good thing kind of and if it leads anywhere fair enough if not it doesn't.

    Stephen putting Ronnie in his place with the 147 in the final frame, after Ronnie came back from 7 or 8-1 behind. Pure Class.
    They're all lucky Stephen's cue got snapped, or he'd have 10 or 11 World titles. Losing to Ken and Peter were shocking defeats.
    As for this 92 mob, they all played for 7 years in the 90s and Stephen battered them all at the crucible. 9 finals, 7 victories. Oh and won it with a broken arm, anaw.
    Ronnie had about 2 world titles when Stephen retired.

      How exactly did Hendry win in 10 years ? Lets remember the standard he had to play back when he won so many titles the only real competitors he had was Davis and White. Ronnie won most of his titles with a much stronger field with so many top players that can win it any day just to name a few , Trump, Higgins, Selby, Williams, Robertson, Allen, Murphy the list goes on and on. So in conclusion he was a great player for the opponents he had to face, did he have any of the type of opponents I mentioned he would definitely not have won much or ANY.
