I think Tony Drago's attempt was the most amazing tough table challenge I've seen so far. The speed at which he was playing while keeping such a good cue ball, just brilliant!
The love Drago has for the game is a lesson to do something you love as work and you'll be happy your whole life, what fun to watch. Much love Stephen from here on Grand Cayman 🇰🇾
One if my favourite memories of Tony Drago was when David Vine was commentating between frames at The Crucible with a practise table behind him... "well we've had a 147 here!" ... and there was a young smiling Tony Drago racking the next practise frame up with a big smile!
Wathcing Tony Drago play is such a joy. I would say even better than most of the top profesional players at the moment. Just pure natural talent . Especially in instinctively knowing the angles.
It's such a shame when Tony Knowles goes into one of these spells of not playing very much - because when he gets the love back for the game, he shows (every single time) that he's still a phenomenal snooker player. If he applied himself like he did a few years ago, he could easily do the same as Fred Davis - that's the quality he still has, when he's practising regularly and playing regularly. Come on Tony, let's have one more shot at it!
Set me up for a great Sunday, thanks Stephen for the vid. Love watching the old(ish) boys play. Fantastic to see Break From Life still on the leader board.
I love and admire how Tony has not changed his style of play. Jimmy looks like he's fishing when he plays now. He's so slow and cautious. First saw Tony play in an exhibition at the crucible. He played one frame against Ray Reardon in 1985 after Ray had beaten Parrott in the last 8. Unfortunately for Tony, Ray made a total clearance.
I'd like to see you have some top disabled players on the channel like Daniel Blunn or Leroy Williams to show that snooker isn't just an able bodied sport.
Agreed with the comment below, Drago's attempt was amazing. Great fun to watch Stephen but, it would have been so cool to see them all pros in the same conditions, with a bit of concentration, and no questions asked during the exercise. Maybe something to think about if you ever get a chance to do a second round of interviews.
I know there is a world of difference between playing on Cue Tips and playing competitively, but Drago on this form would still do well in some of the pro tournaments. He'd probably struggle in longer matches, but best of sevens, I'm sure he'd go toe-to-toe with many of the top 64, probably even top 32.
A lot of love for Tony Drago more exciting today then most the younger moden players. Still fantastic as is Dom, And the other Tony keep going you might make a 20 brake again soon :D bless him.
My guy tony has still got it. Dominic is as smooth on the table as he it off just a gentleman and Stephen you will always be the goat you destroyed everyone into submission. And i am 53 and can still do 10 lines ups in a row with a couple of weeks practice just for the love of the game.
' destroyed everyone into submission' says someone clueless about snooker. Marcus Campbell WHITEWASHED 28yo Hendry 9-0 in 1998 The GOAT list Ronnie Selby Williams Higgins Davis Hendry 6 greatest players
I said it once and got attacked by many fan boys, but I'll say it again. Kyren on fire is on a different level to every past & present snooker player , with the exception of Selby , Williams & Ronnie . World Champion Kyren Wilson is the future of snooker in the true modern era 🔥🔥
@elmondo Trust the most sensitive nameless coward to read comments and get wound up Btw the goat 🐐Ronnie O'Sullivan leads Hendry fanny 9-4 in finals, and has won more than Hendry kunt will ever win
You're laughing because truth hurts and you are fighting shy Must be extremely painful still that the GOAT Ronnie O'Sullivan beat Judd Trump at the 2022 world finals 👍
On that first attempt Drago would've definitely cleared up if he didn't go in off every pot was bang in the middle of the pocket he wasn't going to miss anything

How can this be a ‘legends video’?? I don’t see no STEPHEN LEE! M I mean seriously WTAF… another week and another video with no appearance from STEPHEN LEE! This channel badly needs STEPHEN LEE to start making regular appearances, STEPHEN LEE would attract thousands of new subscribers and take the channel to a new weight category within RUclips!

Tony Drago, what a legend. A potting machine even at this age.
Potting machine and won what? Drago will always be remembered as the speedy Gonzales of snooker that won fuckall
@@Guv-w6v any particular reason to be this negative?
@@Guv-w6vFair but better to be remembered then to not.
@@Guv-w6v won more than u ever will lol
@@benthomas8789 won more you ever will because I don't play snooker. Wont change the fact that Drago has won fuckall
I love how Tony Drago just can’t wait to play the next shot - legend❤
The single-minded, uninhibited joy with which Tony Drago plays snooker. A pleasure to watch
incredible how good Tony Drago still plays!!
Incredible also how he has won fuckall in his prime donkeys years ago.
Drago is unbelievable. So fluent and amazing cue ball control. Fabulous to watch.
Tony Drago is so magnetic in the way he plays. Slick and fast. I really do enjoy watching him clear a table in minutes.
The love Drago has for the game is a lesson to do something you love as work and you'll be happy your whole life, what fun to watch. Much love Stephen from here on Grand Cayman 🇰🇾
Love Dominic Dale, hes amazing on this and amazing in commentary too
One if my favourite memories of Tony Drago was when David Vine was commentating between frames at The Crucible with a practise table behind him... "well we've had a 147 here!" ... and there was a young smiling Tony Drago racking the next practise frame up with a big smile!
Tony just makes it look so effortless, absolutely love him!
I assume you mean the Drago Tony and not the Knowles Tony (both are legends)
@@flucazade To be fair to the latter, when he's actually in his rhythm he makes it look effortless too!
Tony Drago is an absolute joy to watch
Scheeez, seeing Drago in full flow is 🥰😍😎
Wathcing Tony Drago play is such a joy. I would say even better than most of the top profesional players at the moment. Just pure natural talent . Especially in instinctively knowing the angles.
no wonder it wasn't worth making a whole video of drago's TTC 😂. he's an absolute joy to watch, even now. a complete natural

He’s never been that good has he 😂
Tony Drago's was so fast they had to get him some help to lengthen the video
🤣
Was Tony Knowles pissed?
TK!!! What a legend his game is absolutely gone I am crying with laughter🤣🤣🤣
Tony Drago is pure class.
I love what you do on this channel Stephen keep up the great work you do. Your a true legend thank you
"Once I know where the balls are I'm OK." Gotta love Knowlsey. 😂
More Drago please 🙏🏼
100 percent
Set me up for a great Sunday, thanks Stephen for the vid. Love watching the old(ish) boys play. Fantastic to see Break From Life still on the leader board.
Such a pity Drago went in off . He was on for the top break . 😒
Jeez, Tony Drago is different class. Makes it look so easy.
11:23 Great job cameraman subtly panning the camera up hahah
Congratulations Stephen Hendry, this video is very good for improving your training Erivaldo from the state of Rio Grande do Norte in Brazil.
Tony Drago was impressive. The third person who was on, i think a lot of us can relate to that and shows how hard Snooker can be.
The third person being the former Crucible semi-finalist (a few times), ranking tournament champion, world number 2...
I love and admire how Tony has not changed his style of play. Jimmy looks like he's fishing when he plays now. He's so slow and cautious. First saw Tony play in an exhibition at the crucible.

Knowles's miscue was so funny!
I'd like to see you have some top disabled players on the channel like Daniel Blunn or Leroy Williams to show that snooker isn't just an able bodied sport.
I never knew there were disabled players. What you've highlighted is a great idea🙏😄👍🏼
Tony, Tony and Dale - you are total legends! ❤😊❤
Tony is absolutely great to watch
Which one ?
Nice one, lads remember ypu guys when I was a kid 80 and 90 and beyond. I'm 46. My dad loves to watch henry is my no 1 of all time
great content as always! ❤
Great stuff from Tony
I love Tony dragos. Game was lucky enough to see him play an exhibition game! Massive fan.
at this point id rather watch a tournament of tough table challenge, Each round is first to 5. Would be far more entertaining
Tip for u Stephen, when reffing The Tornado put your cue down😂
Great to see the legends attempt the tough table challenge. Great video Stephen hendry
Agreed with the comment below, Drago's attempt was amazing. Great fun to watch Stephen but, it would have been so cool to see them all pros in the same conditions, with a bit of concentration, and no questions asked during the exercise.

Tony Drago........wow. Nothing else to say.
Watched Drago play Ronnie in one session at the World's in 1996. Lightning quick the pair.
Tony Drago makes it look effortless
Drago, makes it look a piece of cake even now. He plays purely on instinct
Drago speed and potting unreal what a guy
Do a cooking video with Ronnie
It's like the good old days!
I know there is a world of difference between playing on Cue Tips and playing competitively, but Drago on this form would still do well in some of the pro tournaments. He'd probably struggle in longer matches, but best of sevens, I'm sure he'd go toe-to-toe with many of the top 64, probably even top 32.
Drago still a joy to watch.
Knowles is 3 parts pissed
Drago man f-ing drago. Ledge, was laughing to myself every shot. Amazing, nostalgia
That 68 from Tony was amazing, nobody else plays the way he does!
Tony Knowles or Drago? 😃😃
Drago is still an excellent player!! Love him, what a character - legend!
A lot of love for Tony Drago more exciting today then most the younger moden players. Still fantastic as is Dom, And the other Tony keep going you might make a 20 brake again soon :D bless him.
Tony Drago .... still a great player !
Try to get James "The Thai-phoon" Wattana on.
My guy tony has still got it. Dominic is as smooth on the table as he it off just a gentleman and Stephen you will always be the goat you destroyed everyone into submission. And i am 53 and can still do 10 lines ups in a row with a couple of weeks practice just for the love of the game.
Nonsense. Hendry lost most times to the Real GOAT Ronnie O'Sullivan. Check their head to head and zip it!
' destroyed everyone into submission' says someone clueless about snooker.

Marcus Campbell wasn't a great player 🤣🤣🤣🤣 9-0 he WHITEWASHED Hendry 😂😂

More Tony Drago please
Stephen Hendry is the George Foreman of snooker. In his prime, he was a miserable bastard, but in retirement, a funny and engaging personality. :)
Drago still has game , quite incredible really
Wtaf was that Drago attempt. That was INSANE. The ‘hard balls’ just went flying in!!
I just sneezed and tony scored 68 🔥 that was quick ⚡
Absolutely fantastic viewing from the goat 🐐 Stephen Hendry...never saw Stephen smash his cue or put in the bin once 😂😂😂
Only one GOAT Ronnie O"Sullivan 🐐Never seen the real GOAT Ronnie get whitewashed 9-0 like Hendry was whitewashed 9-0 😂😂😂😂
Never heard the GOAT Ronnie O'Sullivan cry yips like hendry fanny 👍😿😿😭😭

Drago is the best yet
Can you do a video on correctly shaping a tip
My word.. just look at TG😮.. for him to be still THAT GOOD it shows just how good the pros are these days! Unreal!
I decided to comment before watching.
Tony will win!
68 under 3 minutes
Well Funny Mr Knowles.
Take a bow, Tony Drago!
Drago making the game look easy 😮
You should get Martin O’Donnell on the channel
Was that a cheeky tornado fart at 1:12 😅
Legendary players then you have Dale 😂
I genuinely thought for a second that the surely now deceased bob holness was in that thumbnail.
Drago’s quickest ton in practice must be about 63 seconds 😂
Drago should be offered a tour card, but not sure he would take it to be honest.
Hey Steve, Drago was on a 68 break for his first attempt and then potted a red and then the white. Does he get the extra point for a 69 break?
😂 yeap!😊
Cmon Jimmy
4:46 World Class Snooker
On that first attempt Drago would've definitely cleared up if he didn't go in off every pot was bang in the middle of the pocket he wasn't going to miss anything
Drago might have cleared the table or at least a century, shame the in off
Tony D could eat 2 kebabs in 4 minutes.
wouldn't class Dale as a legend
Tony Drago is not here to fk spiders
Drago was't world champion 10 times in a row because the refs are too slow.
I said it once and got attacked by many fan boys, but I'll say it again. Kyren on fire is on a different level to every past & present snooker player , with the exception of Selby , Williams & the GOAT Ronnie O'Sullivan .

Thanks Kyren.
Always a pleasure to see judd trump lose to World Champion Kyren Wilson who leads little judd 4-1 in finals.
Thanks again Kyren.

I feel Stephen should do a video of having a game with rob walker
Meanwhile JACK LOSERSKI who turned pro over a decade ago has won ZERO tournaments. Why the snooker community calls him the GOAT at winning fuckall 🐐❤

Dominic 'I comment on the bloody obvious' Dale is a terrible commentator. When he tries to 2nd guess the next shot he gets it wrong much of the time I hope Eurosport don't pay him too much.
