RIP Ray , you were one of the founders of modern day snooker , your temperament around the table was something alot of young players could learn from and incorporate it into their own games . Ray instilled self belief into alot of players he coached .
A real gentleman and a giant of the snooker world . Thanks Ray , you will never be forgotten
You could not get a better accolade from the GOAT. RIP Ray, you may be gone, but your legacy shines bright.
RIP to the man DT always called the "Great" Ray Reardon, the six times champion of the world has passed away at 91.
Rip to Ray Reardon, six times world champion.
RIP Ray, one of the greatest players ever and with a great sense of humour...
RIP Ray....a Welsh great. Dracula🏆🎱
Ray Reardons a true gentleman and definitely one of the greats 👍
That’s really good. Not always a fan of ronnie in interviews but he obviously has great respect for ray who is let’s face it one of the game’s greatest ever.
Ronnie is always honest. Never a flaw but sometimes uncomfortable.
Shows why this guy is the greatest, he’s always willing to learn from other people, and there’s no better guy to learn from than ray
A wonderful respect and affection being shown by a great player of the modern era to a great player of a past era. Having met Ray on many occasions I can tell you he's a super guy to chat to. Very warm and friendly. So it's great to hear someone of O'Sullivan's pedigree heap so much praise on one of the old timers for the help he received from him.
The fabulous Ray Reardon! Greatest player in the 70's without a doubt 😊
And such a nice personality with a great sense of honesty thats what snooker is built on, such a classy player and a gentleman ?
Thank you, Captain Obvious.
@@mrloop1530 thank you keyboard warrior!
What about Spencer?
@@pornlove99 Hi pornlove99, hoping your well !😊 Spencer was great but not in Reardon's Class, in my humble opinion 😊best wishes to you!
I was just welling up listening to this from Ronnie, he shows fantastic respect for Ray Reardon , good on you son you are the greatest.
I have alot of respect for Ronnie and Ray . I've watched Ronnie grow into a lovely guy , yes he's had ups and downs like us all , but to live out these emotions Infront of the camera's and under intense scrutiny from the media it takes a special person to come out of it all on top of your game . Well done Ronnie and thank you to Ray for installing some of your experience into Ronnie . Cheers
Nice comment 👍
RIP Ray, a huge loss it must have effected all the snooker players world wide and some more than others, i know it's a bit late saying this but i think their should of been a day pause for all snooker players the very next day, because as i said it effects some far more than others, again RIP Ray you are missed so much my condolences to your family and those close to you,
RIP 🙏 Don Ray 🙏
R.I.P Ray Reardon I honestly think Ronnie wouldn't be the player he is today without your advice and coaching
Reardon matchplay was legendary, he also played the most subtle meta play of dominating the room with every advanced non verbal communication skill. The most complete player ever.
Great point. He had an aura.
147 comments, someone has to break it, RIP Ray Reardon ❤
Why Ronnie is arguably the greatest ever...early on he was open to learning and changing his game which he still does in 2020!
R.I.P Ray one of the best players to ever pick up a cue
My dad was a decent club player in the 70s he had regular 50 or 60 breaks which is a good standard ray Reardon did an exhibition at Sheffield lane WMC and played my dad with a sweeping brush handle my dad broke off and that was it frame over ray got a 90 break
What a player to get a break of 90 with a sweeping brush handle.
@@djtaylormade1195 yep all be it on a club table .. not a championship table 👍
Sweeping brush handle yeah ok
@@SM-mi6lp yeah that's difference in class 👍
Far out.
Rest in Peace Mr. Reardon
What a lovely tribute from one great to another, Ronnie obviously has a lot of affection and respect for Ray to be so honest with his praise. This video needs more views. Change the title to "The secret to Ronnie's success"
I disagree with the title being changed, there is no need to make things subjective.
please translate to Brazilian Portuguese
"I would have been a good coach to Ray and Ray was a good coach to me"...brilliant.
Reardon's tactical and safety game was outstanding. One of the best at that side of the game.
The Dracula
Ray Reardon was a GreaT Player - RIP Mr, RearDon
RIP Don Ray 🙏
Reardon invented modern snooker. O'Sullivan mastered it.
excellent comment
I think Joe Davis is widely considered to have been the one to have built the modern game, and first to hit the century mark.
The 3 most important players in terms of how the game is played are probably..Joe Davis , Ray Reardon and Stephen Hendry and the player who encompasses all the very best aspects of these players is Ronnie.
Don Ray invented modern snooker but don't forget the legend Joe Davis 15 Times world champion
@@leedaniels1468nope. Its Joe Davis and Ray and Steve Davis. No one else comes close.
i took him to a solicitors in my taxi in 1987 - the nicest person i ever met.
Hope he gave you a tip. Lool.
Awesome interview and very honest words from Ronnie. To me Ray Reardon will be one of the best icons of the sport that ever played. Not only a fantastic player, but such a warm hearted man. I am sure there are a fair few that have followed that have tried to emulate Ray as a player and as a character of the sport.
Ray has always been my role model in snooker and darts.....Be determined and never give in but lose like a good sport.......not a girls blouse making excuses !
This clip and Ronnie’s interview right after he won the 6th world title are true and fully deserved tribute to the legend Ray Reardon! He gave O’Sullivan the edge he needed to become a serial winner, and it is very likely that Reardon is right when he says that Ronnie can win at least one more title
This is the interview you need to watch: @3:30
ruclips.net/video/-UIu0EshlHY/видео.html
Ray Reardon and Steve Peter’s tuned Ronnie’s mind too his full potential. If he’d had them earlier in his career, he’d have been well ahead of Hendry already
I wonder when Ray taught him the safety tactics he deployed against Selby in the semi.
I agree. Great sportsmen, such as Ronnie can do almost anything they put their minds on. In another life, Ronnie could have been a great darts player. Ray Reardon provided Ronnie with years of experience he learnt on the table and made Ronnie a polished player.
@@Zkkr429 That semi final was the battle of the minds. I felt Selby cracked later on in the game and Ronnie's mental toughness got him through.
Thanks for the entertainment Ray, you've earned your rest and will never be forgotten. 💙.
Ronnie would not have won 7 Worlds without Reardon. The era of potting you way out of trouble is long gone.
Respect to Ronnie for the recognition of Ray. Two of the games greatest.
Great interview. Thanks for posting this, nice to see ronnie like this rather than his media persona, an intelligent guy and the best snooker player ever with respect to ray reardon another legend of the game.
Ronnie deserves much more than just trophies for his achievements
Excellent perspective; I so agree with you.
In his prime Reardon was a serial potter and break builder but also had a great tactical game. He was particularly dangerous in a tactical exchange with say 3 or 4 reds left and could tie you knots and win the frame from way behind. He had tonnes of nerve. His prime was probably before he turned professional but even in the winter of his career he was a formidable player and trounced reigning world champion Steve Davis 6-0 at the 1988 British Open. He also beat him 6-0 at the Highland Masters in 1982.
Good that you mentioned that, John. Reardon was a powerhouse in the mid-60’s when the English Amateur was at Borroughes Hall, Soho Square. The professional game barely existed with just Pulman, Fred Davis, Rex Williams and Jackie Rea playing amongst themselves. It was Reardon, Houlihan, Spencer, Gross, Barron, Edmonds and the Owen brothers who were really the stars of that era.
Thanks for the insight, I’d have loved to have seen him play. Sounds like a serious serious player. I don’t think his name gets mentioned anywhere near enough. It’s almost like people think it was easy to win back then, it probably was in fairness but that’s not his fault, you can only beat what’s in front of you and domination is domination
Easier than now at least*
Ronnie always talks highly in interviews about everybody. take my hat off to him.
RONNIE and Ray 2 legendary players!!!!
Thats really nice. The great to another great. Ronnie the greatest and he's got there by hard work.
That’s a lovely video and sentiment
Ronnie and Ray both 6 time world champions and both the oldest champions in snooker world winners.
R.i.p ray
Excellent, respectful stuff from the genius
Maybe Jimmy White could have utilised Ray's expertise as he would still have his natural game with that added extra. Its been coached outbof him in a way. Ronnie and Ray...Great combo!
Excellent point, tragic that this wonderful talent never won a world title
@@Mike20216 Thanks. I've thought about this for years, Jimmy went to other coaches and to watch him play now is like a different player from years ago. Ray didn't change anything about Ronnie's game only made hom more solid and helped to improve his mental state at the table, also safety play for a counter attack....what Ray was first class at doing.
The right person comes at the right time you left your ego and got on with well done Ron x
Both Legends Even at this age
I did not know this ronny is great ! Whenever I am down I watch the ronny and Peter Ebdon match lol 6 mins for a break of 12 lol
RIP, Ray.
RIP Ray. Legend.
God gives us all a gift and if we're lucky enough to find we must work hard on it to accomplish our full ability.Ronnie has exercised and practiced like a young pro and getting ray into help showed what he knew was needed and ray gave him that and now he's 7 world champion.
Well Said Ronnie ! ❤❤😊😊
Ray had a excellent all around game
My Mum and Dad got Christmas cards from Ray. Pontins circuit.
This equipped him to deal with players like Selby.
Rip ray beautifuk video
Working with Reardon gave Ronnie his 5 world titles. His first was against possibly the greatest safety player the modern game has ever seen. But, he needed to work on that game to improve his game massively, that paved the way to 7 UK/Masters titles and 6 world titles, plus 15 maximums and 1,061 centuries.
Ray Reardon was an Excellent play.Ronnie had a superb coach with Ray.
Rip Ray ❤
Muito legal o reconhecimento desse gênio do snooker ao mestre do passado! Eis o segredo da sua brilhante carreira 🎱😁🎱
My tribal cousin Ron just loves uncle Ray!
Great insight and what a wonderful example of a great player being mentored by another great player! I wonder who Ronnie will mentor?
I'd say someone like trump.
The greats are the ones who listen and learn from the legends before them, ones who fail are the ones who ignore and think they know best.
RIP Ray Reardon. Just watched the semis VS Trump and you could tell O'Sullivan's mind was elsewhere, a snooker match means absolutely nothing when compared to real life. Rest in peace Ray, thanks for your service to the sport and humanity itself.
Well said.
ray reardon is the real reason....for what ronnie has become today..
Imagine being a fly on the wall watching Ray Reardon give Ronnie pointers on his play... it would be like watching Joe Frazier giving pointers to a young Mike Tyson.
funny how Ronnie always talks about Ray in the past tense as if he's not with us anymore lol
That's only because they don't work together anymore.
someone needs to make a movie out of ronnie and ray .. be great
i remember when they joined up, the 2004 world championships ronnie was noticably more solid all around not just break building, he smashed Hendry with a session to spare, before 2004 Ronnie didnt have much of a safety game, it was ok but not world level after 2004 he could mix it with the best safety players. And with him clearly being the best break bu.ilder the game has ever seen it made him into the ultimate player in my opinion.
Reardon was perfect for Ronnie, but remember kids, always lock your windows and never NEVER invite Ray in after sundown
Cannot lie to yourself in life, and especially cue sports.. It’s not easy to have all the talent in the world, and still know you got weaknesses..
Can I say that what I want is a Ronnie O'Sullivan with Rowan Atkinson's voice, that will be gorgeous.
Personally i would keep this too myself...I'm not a pro and i picked up tips..If you got an edge...Keep it 👌
Seems that you missed the whole point. The power of a proper mentor-student relationship was displayed in Ronnie's world championships.
@@paulgillespie542 I've missed nothing...I'm talking about him revealing his weaknesses....He gives stuff away all the time in interviews....Watch his podcasts..
snooker is a artform and the best snooker players are the ones not playing the next shot
i now it sounds crazy but snooker is also about the table and balls and what you leave on it
Ronnie's game after ray worked with him was why he can play until he is over 60 ? in a way ray slowed down ronnie and got him thinking about the table and not just about the player he was facing, Ronnie is the GOAT but he needed the farmer to show him the right field to live in
🚀
Ray Reardon was to snooker what Nimzowitsch was to chess. ♥
Like all the greats Ronnie needed someone to help him get to the very top. Ronnie needed Ray, Steve needed Barry Hearn and Stephen needed Ian Doyle.
7 worlds each for Ronnie and Stephen... it's interesting how Hendry's were all in the 90s and Ronnie's span the 00s, 10s and 20s. It's 7 world titles for each, any way you look at it!
Joe davis invented the modern game, Ray Reardon used it and ronnie mastered it
Great video, it could do without the music though.
Poor old Eddie Charlton just couldn’t get over the hill
Whats the song ?
Ronnie gave an interview a few years ago saying he tried working with reardon but got bored of it and realised it wasn’t for him.
Ronnie doesn't like that style of play, he prefers attacking snooker, but his safety play post Reardon is so much better. He has that knowledge to fallback on when needed in the odd frame and is very thankful for that.
Kudos to you for bringing this point up !!!! Interviewer should have been aware enough to bring this up, but what would that have served ? Just enjoy his snooker !! Ronnie is not in a position to teach, mostly only in a position to demonstrate.
I think most Ronnie fans know he constantly contradicts himself and that’s part of the reason he’s popular, because he’s so unpredictable 😎
Maybe he changed his mind rectrspectively. And even if he didn't..I mean there's no contradiction in "being bored because of personal preferences" and "yet learning something important you're not good at".
Ronnie has been hypocritical and contradictory throughout his career. He has a huge chip on his shoulder. Has often thrown games and his conduct has been disgraceful a lot of the time.
I don't care how good he was/is, the man is a disgrace to the game
must've felt like to Ray winning a 7th world title...and rightly so
good morning i'm a taxi driver here in Fortaleza i would like to get a present from you and if one day you come to Fortaleza you will not pay for a taxi you will ride in my taxi everywhere you want it is simple o
I want to win a pool cue
Vou aí pra gente jogar
Rays elbow swayef so much almost tucked in .
How could he cue straight
12 World titles between them
👋👋👋👌
Learn from Reardon and Davis then you would never be beaten
R I p ...
Both Ray and Ronnie snubbed by the Establishment.
Y para los que no sabemos inglés que nos den
The thumbnail looks like ray has potted Ronnie's brown!!!
That is some endorsement
Chester balls
If paul hunter was alive he would have most likely won a world title or a few so mabye ronnie wouldn't have had the same amount of titles
Dracula
Hope he beats that winging baby Selby forever and a day!!!!
Ronnie has got a bent nose. He has got all the money in the world why doesnt he get that fixed
Funny 😯. I haven’t got all the money in the world but paid 5 k to have my 👃 straightened due to it being broken 3 times over the years sparring 🥊. Some may say that Ronnie isn’t vain 😂😂👊
Why?
Be happy with how you are born
Why need to fix it to make you look better
Be true to your self
Jamie Ellison Ha listen if u had of boxed the rounds I’ve boxed 🥊 Had your 👃 broken 3 times. Had a spare 5 k hanging around 💷 u would have done the same !! B👊🙏
Because he uses a cue to strike the ball not his nose.
Michael Broderick 👌
Yes, sharing knowledge is key, but too much can be overwhelming! It’s opinionated.
