I sat next to Stephen Hendry at a social event. Wanting to ask him a question about his cue for my channel Cues n Views. I was expecting a bit of a cold shoulder. But he was very informative and approachable.
@@GHOSTDOG637actually Stephen was unbeatable not because of his talent but his mentality. This game is more mental than talent. If Stephen kept up with his standards he would have won more than 7.
Pretty great to see Stephen hendry witty sense of scottish sensibilities in full effect he has really helped to snooker take the next step forward and with Stephen n Steve (the nugget) in the trenches the game of snooker can only grow and mature 😊
Loved it. One of the best episodes on the channel. The banter between you both is what made it entertaining. If you're a snooker fan this is most definitely the best channel on RUclips.
I met Jimmy in a snooker club, 2 months after meeting Stephen. I said, Hendy was playing here recently..Jimmy's reply "who's that c**t...and started laughing. Both were so friendly and down to earth
That was one of the best vids of the channel to date...some proper dry digs with a sharp twist of truth for good measure 😂 (ps "This is for Jimmy" got me 😁)
Growing up as a kid it was all about hendry for some reason a 12 year old me thought he was one of the coolest young guys on the planet. Then I got older and more media was becoming available and more of his personality came through and I started thinking he was a really highly strung nerd, now im getting on a bit i'm back to thinking he's great again. Strange how your perception changes with age. This channel is great
The tables at Gants Hill were Starlines. Same type table Ray Reardon won world title on in 1978. That actual table ended up in Earlsfield Snooker Club, near Wandsworth.
The starline ,the worst table in the history of the game ,ask any snooker fitter .Quite ironic really that two of the worst tables made have star in the name .
What a change! Stephen was a miserable one when he was at the top. Now he’s an absolute must on both his snooker channel plus when he takes on Jimmy Bullard on Golf Life. Lovely bloke and I’d love a best of three with him.
2:26 I remember that with our Snooker table. It's funny because we also had a tiny cue as well as 2 normal sized cues so whenever it was a shot near the wall we'd use the tiny cue so we wouldn't have to lift the cue up like that, it was a bit like using an extension or rest but using something smaller rather than longer.
Those 6'x3' slate bed snooker/dining tables were brilliant. My Uncle had one and it played like a proper full size one. He had it in his garage and he promised to give it to me for my 16th birthday even though we barely had the room but then his garage roof collapse during a storm and it ruined the table and contaminated it with asbestos.
This guy is a natural comedian, doesnt even try to be funny any is witty with his comebacks. Made me laugh when he sed " nah thats just u in any car journey....sat quiet for 4 hours" 😂😂😂 top draw lmao
I grew up watching and admiring Stephen’s play…watched his very first match v Willie Thorne and his very last match and all in between…Stephen will always be the best ever to play this game…I miss the times when Stephen was at the top and I wish him all the best….If you ever need someone to get the beers in Stephen I would happily buy it all night mate 👍👍
If we was comfortable answering questions about his ban honestly then this would be a great episode. SL has lots of idiosyncratic quirks to his game that I would love a deep dive into. He can still play to a solid standard as well. There was a CCTV video of him playing Chinese 8-ball posted online a few months ago and it was smooth as butter.
Love these chats. Great to see the personalities of the players and Stephen coming through. Although it would be great if you could insert clips of the shots you talk about. Just to give a bit of context to what you are describing.
I'm not usually a huge fan of "bants", but when its this quality, it doesn't have any awkward tones or insincerity. Hilarious and interesting all round, Got to get Jimmy and Andy on a table at the same time.
The last time I played in a snooker club, Bros were top of the charts. Nothing's really changed since. Bros have reunited. The only difference is Hendry winning 7 titles in between those years!
This was great. Goldstein is a natural comedian especially that joke about him scoring 97. Sorry if I've missed it but why won't Jimmy make an appearance ?
A few factual irregularities: 1. Stephen's cue broke in 2003. In fact, the reason it broke was that he could not take it on board with him as hand baggage due to 9/11 restrictions (so the incident could have not been in 2000). 2. He played with namely that old cue in 2002 when he beat Ronnie and lost to Ebdon (his last proper performance in the Crucible, as he says). 3. In the final frame against Ebdon, he had 3 good chances to make a winning contribution (started a break or had an easy red opener) before Ebdon made that winning break, not one 3/10 shot as he states here. Otherwise, nice video, Andy used to play better 5-10 years ago...
It was a great video. Great channel. I do think the Williams black is slightly less angle than Stephen remembers because it’s almost gun barrel straight in the 98 masters but in recreations there is a bit of angle involved.
I was thinking that he still had his old cue. I was a huge Hendry fan, I didn't think he played well against Ebdon in that final, it was the first time he seemed nervous. Ebdon wasn't playing great, but held his nerve in the deciding frame. I think Hendry used everything to beat Ronnie in the semi-final, he had nothing left for the final. It was a shame, as I thought he was good enough to win 10 world championships. I feel the yips were caused by the change in cue action, it was nothing like his more natural cue action, that won him the world championships in 1990. The few times he plays like that now, he looks good, I hoped he would go back to that cue action, no pause on the backswing, no time to think about the yips.
@@sharpvidtube Ebdon got the early lead but Hendry tied with him 5 or 6 times in that match but could never get ahead. Ebdon had something like 14 breaks over 50 , with 7 of them over 70.
I think a lot of snookers fans 'hated' Hendry when he came along because he stole all Davis' sweeties, but here I am, 30 years later, following the channel. We didn't hate you, we were just jealous and sad for our heroes.
get andy on again, jesus christ he is brilliant content, get him on a pool table too, get him to "bash it about" love your content, one of my favourite channels
@@dermotspollen ive never actually heard him on the radio, i dont watch snooker, but i remember hendry being a legend when i was a kid in the 90's so i jsut watch his podcast. im clueless! lol

Haha I pissed myself at that too 😂😂. Amazing
That would only happen for Chuck Norris...😂

I’m new to the sport. Why do I keep seeing people say they didn’t like hendry back in the day? A lot of people called him boring too
@@raymcgeough6572 He was hyper focused in his prime, didnt speak to or fraternise with the other pros, essentially embodied the dour scot stereotype.
He was a winning machine and most people just got drawn to the underdog,plus jimmy was very popular in the London/Essex area

No, he's not 'so'.
Check out his podcast on snooker scene
He’s a knob
Hate him on Talksport as it looks like he’s paid to play the bad guy or the antagonist/devil’s advocate but he is very funny on here.

Never understand the negative crap people feel the need to post. Good episode and a good banter. Just enjoy it!
“play a micky mouse game on a tv table, that was your life mission” 😂😂😂
You must be referring to Andy and the american pool anyway didn't realise he couldn't play too well to be fair
Snooker is not a Mickey Mouse game
@@Zpeter84. i concur. They were talking about playing 8 or 9 ball
What’s yours ..commenting in here
Andy “the slight breeze” Goldstein 😂
this had me in stiches lmao
97 in his dreams....and not funny either? Looks a smug plank aswell!!! I would beat him....i haven't played in 30 years
This is unbelievably relaxing - I love these long chatty videos where you're just having fun!
It's excellent
Part 2 needed , doubles !
Andy and Jimmy
Stephen and Steve Davis.
Anyone agree ?.
“This is for Jimmy” 😂
Looked more like an Alex Higgins shot, but Higgins would trouble the pocket.
@@sharpvidtube He done the shot to win for jimmy not the style of shot
Well, that was a pleasure. I could watch another 10 frames of these two.
I sat next to Stephen Hendry at a social event. Wanting to ask him a question about his cue for my channel Cues n Views. I was expecting a bit of a cold shoulder. But he was very informative and approachable.
This is the best episode by a country mile, I laughed all the way through it. Will be watching this a few times over !! Great stuff 👍
This & the Mark Williams ones I can watch multiple times.
@@speedy692 you’re absolutely right and I was going to mention that in my post since before this one the Williams one was my favourite.
and the Davids one
Jimmy White: “F&@k Stephen, let’s go out!”
Hendry: “And I took that personally”
Villain Origin Story
@aidanmillward maybe you can do a story time on who is the greatest seven time world champion

definitely one of my fav episodes so far, Andy was asking Stephen all the questions i would want to ask, and andy is funny too!
Best episode yet. Goldstein is hilarious.
Wow hendry still dosent like losing 🤣

Paddling pool pro more like!
that first session by parrot was one of th best ive ever seen faultless snooker
Has the table got one coming out?
that cracked me up
Really enjoyed this one, top banter between both of you 😂 Don't know too much about Andy but seems a proper good laugh 🤘
Good to see Andy is just as bad at snooker as he is at pool 🤣
He's also bad at radio as well. Shocking host
Loves chatting absolute crap tho
Loves the sound of his own voice AG 🤣
Well he is on the radio 😂
As a non-Brit I do adore, respect and even treasure the banter.
The funniest thing I’ve seen for a long time🤣🤣🤣
This is brilliant. Very quick 45mins! Interesting bit on the Yips.
Those weren't yips. They were Ronnie O'sullivan
This is the best one yet!
18:19 Andy talking as much shite as bullard did 😂😂
Andy was actually a better cueists back in the day, he could have made 97 on a line-up. Bullard, in turn, is an absolute noob.
Andy was a good player back in the day, I was on the circuit myself back then. I played to a good standard, but I can't play for shit these days.
Yet another great episode ...
"I'm 60 behind"... LOL. 😂

He was good but not as good as O’Sullivan. He himself will admit this ..
Another great guest and banter keep em coming!
Henry was always and still is my favourite player
That was a good laugh. Nice one, guys.
This was superb. Great watch
