Agreed. Peeps in the boxing circle online give Eddie a really hard time and hate him. But I like him he's like his dad. Boxing is better with him in it, as was Snooker better with Barry in it. Though I know he's retired now, I should think he has a say in what goes on.

@@PlayMoreGolf-RipOffI don’t think that’s the case because Steve Davis is quite an Intelligent man he’s no idiot plus him and Barry have been friends since the 70s and are still the best of mates still to this day
I didn't think there would be an episode I'd enjoy more than Ronnies but that was brilliant. Never really been a fan of the guy but that kind of insight into the man was fantastic, really inspiring to see someone thinking however many steps ahead, and still doing that so many years into the game. Really incredible, thank you so much Stephen.
Just finished the video... found I'd been smiling all the way through. I'm 47 so grew up watching snooker. Not a bad player,80 clearance my best...had to get that in lol...I sometimes play at mark Williams snooker hall and I potted a great ball and he was sat down having a break and said good shot. I was beaming inside. Love these guys
I remember we used to go to our local club in Brigg whenever uncle Maurice came to visit. I must have been about 9, full size table, a group was just coming in and I slammed a yellow in the corner pocket, full length of the table, they all stopped and gaped. Only time I've ever done it, mind.
@@juchetony1910 it's a great buzz when playing well or potting a good ball for sure. Wish my eyes hadn't gone as bad as they are. Find it hard playing with glasses
We have alot to thank for this amazing person. Thank you Barry for all the things you have to done to this beautiful sport and thank you Stephen for having this interesting chat with this incredible personal!
He's made the game worse. Let me ask you this when Ronnie retires who replaces him? Or infact with the current state of the game who actually gets inspired to reach those levels before getting bored to death.
No school like the old school. What a man. Had the pleasure of meeting Barry and he was an absolute gentleman. Thanks for your service to beautiful game x
Great channel, you need more shows with Barry! I’m 🇺🇸, but lived in Scotland in mid 90’s and became hooked on Snooker big time. My personal highlight being driving down to the Crucible in ‘95 to see early rounds of world championship. I hope Barry’s right and the game keeps expanding, even if I can only see it on RUclips now.
Stephen is 100% correct, so many snooker clubs have now disappeared, I used to play a couple of times a week going back 20 years ago, since then all my local snooker clubs have closed down & I have no idea now if there are any clubs left in the area! Even pubs with pool tables have all disappeared so there’s hardly any pool tables around now so virtually no kids will be able to play any cue sports! And I don’t see this getting any better in the UK.
Hearn couldnt give a monkeys about clubs closing as he doesnt make any money from them i can understand how ronnie and barry dont get on .Hearn thinks he owns the game .He's got far too much power as an individual imop . It's the players we go out to see .Still it's encourging to see the prize money going up and as for wild cards heard would be daft not to include Jimmy he still puts bums on seats
Snooker Halls, Pub Darts, Swimming Pools, Dance Halls, and even Night Clubs, all closed down, thanks to the internet. Who needs to go out for entertainment anymore? Where I live in East lancs, there are two snooker halls in my home town. I know the manager of one of them, complaining about the price of heated tables these days.
I could listen to you 2 for hours! So many memories and stories! Golden times. I even practiced with you for a few hours Stephen at Camden in about 1990/91. Your regular haunt when the masters was on :)
I love Barry Hearn (and Stephen of course). Just listening to Barry and his anecdotes reminds me watching an old episode of Minder 😂It's easy to forget that it wasn't just the talented players who took snooker out of the clubs and made it what it is today, it was Barry's and drive mixed with a shameless determination to commercialise the game that's got us where we are. Thanks for everything you've done for the game Uncle Barry!
Feel like Steve being told by Barry he won’t be back in the crucible might’ve been exactly what he needed to hear to get there, would love to see it - great chat this, Barry is a force of nature
Wow Romford snooker hall I used to bunk school and go up there, used to see Steve Davis up there quite a bit playing the defender machine in the corridor. Great times
Listening to the old guy with all the stories, the other guy singing the balls. Brings me back to the 80s/90s as a kid hanging out at the snooker hall. Love it!
@@wayneanthonyholmes4437 Hendry wasn't a boring player, he was the first to attack every percentage shot and play quickly. His personality at the time is why he was deemed boring, but that was because he had utter focus to win no matter what, but we can see on this channel his real personality
Spent my teenage years at romford snooker club....Great to see yous playing on a table I've played on many a time. Live in Newcastle these days, not been upstairs there in a good decade or so, great to see it all looking exactly the same as I remember though. And as always another great episode.
Brilliant absolutly brilliant. Fantastic stuff lads. Great to see Barry looking so well. Well done Stephen and Barry for an excellent 39 minutes of fun, humour and a game of snooker. Brilliant channel.
Awesome viewing, Barry really knows his stuff and certainly the boss 😂 brilliant tales and banter and so glad Snooker as reinvented it’s self thanks to him 👏👏👏👏 loved the story about Alex emptying his pockets even the coins then asking to borrow £50 for the train 😂 so many characters 👍 Cannot wait for the next tournament and thanks for entertaining us Stephen and Barry brilliantly 😊
What a joy to legends from both ends of the sport. You need to do this again but have both Barry and the Nugget. Barry can score..... I guess Davis would win the frame, with Barry scoring and all.
Thank you so much, Stephen and Barry. Some great laughs and stories. What you have done for snooker is just incredible. Cannot wait for the European Masters in late August. Snooker loopy! 😂❤
Sort of video I'll probably watch again has there's nothing better than Barry Hearn giving to everyone straight and glad of them Wild cards seeing the Legends back on the baize! ❤❤
my motorboat Day Skipper instructor was like Barry. Dodgy AF but knew his stuff and got me through the course, despite the boozy sessions in the pub every night.
His mind wanders and his concentration dips in & out (which is no surprise considering he's talking and interviewing at the same time) but he is hitting the ball very well.
The issue I have in snooker relates to my location. I live in Kirkcaldy in Fife, Scotland and my local snooker club is Styx (former Ambassador Snooker Club). It is the only snooker club I know within at least a half and hour to an hour's drive from where I live that doesn't require you to be a member to play snooker. I don't feel like snooker is as readily available for new and upcoming players nowadays. We need more places to play snooker
@@mmccluskey2867 he is more focused on the professional game as it makes him money. I don't think he sees casual clubs would make him any money at all, it's a shame really
The best accolade I can give to Barry with what he's done for the game if when he speaks you listen, I always want to listen to what he says. I try not to miss if he in the snooker studios.
Thanks Stephen & Barry. Heard these stories a million times & they just get more refined & polished. Typical Bazza! This channel is gonna struggle to get better than its current guise. but, knowing Hendry, no doubt it will always be improving. Stephen. Is there any chance of some kind of Patreon type subscription at some stage?? You know, like after the watershed type of content?? Could be very interesting IMHO, sir. Thanks again, Stephen. Cheers Micky.
Such a great channel Stephen has created. My era was Steve Davis, Jimmy, Alex etc and into Stephen's. It's just brilliant listening to the many anecdotes of those times and from the current players too. Also seeing the personalities of the players which during matches are hidden behind concentration and determination. Stephen is a great guy and definitely an individual anyone would love to have as a friend. Cue Tips is the best channel for anyone with a snooker interest, no matter what their age.
I once served Barry Hearn on a longhaul flight. I didn't let on that I knew who he was, as that was somewhat frowned upon, but he was a very pleasant man indeed.
He is the Bernie Ecclestone of snooker. Ruthless businessman, comes across as a nice man but he’s much darker inside. He thinks money money money and will stamp on anyone who gets in his way. However Stephen your a legend I grew watching you in the 90s and snooker misses players like you. Go for anything…… 👍🏻
Another fabulous episode. Could have listened to hours more of this. Fascinating (and with the Terry Griffiths story - hilarious). Barry Hearn gives a brilliant interview!
Can only imagine the amount of the stories that he can’t tell
😂😂😂
His friendship with Jeffrey epstein perhaps...
Like the Epstein one
Lots of people were friends with Jimmy savil doesn’t make them pedos tho does it

Enjoyed this one more than any other tbh. Really good stories and very funny. Barry is a proper character

It's probably what he called him through out the 90s😂
Yea, that was a boy over the top 😂
GOOD morning ich wünsche dir einen schönen Friday mit viel Humor und guter Laune bleib gesund LG baby@ 🥭🍊
Uncle Barry knows best
Absolutely legend 😂
And the wild card thing was such a great thing to hear
you could see Stephen was a bit intimidated: Barry's a big, no nonsense character. Reminds me of Alex Ferguson in a way.
Uncle Barry, made sure it was told & not edited oot 😂😂😂 gives people things to talk & argue about, which makes money 👍🏴👍
@juchetony1910 yeah takes 0 bs from anyone just like fergie and a serial winner

@@juchetony1910 its probably becuase he's seen the real barry hearn and knows what he's capable of lol
Gotta admire Barry's drive and enthusiasm. He and Davis changed the game.
indeed. especially impressive given hes worth around 90 million, he could easily retire and live a life of luxury
Alex Higgins made the game how popular it is now, he put bums on seats
He robbed Davies blind!

Fascinating how? A dirty money mongrel
Wow what a classic revealing conversation. Barry Hearn is a genius of the highest level. That man should run ALL sports in the world.
The best cue tip video so far! Could listen to Barrys stories all day long, what a legend! - Please get Eddie Hearn on in the future! 👏
boxers playing snooker, and snooker players boxing. TV dynamite. Davis vs Hendry in the ring.
excellent interview with Barry, always enjoy listening to him, many thanks Stephen, some terrific stories from Barry
Best one I've seen. A little look into the darker side of snooker, love it!
Gotta love Barry Hearn, what a character, laughed many times through this, they don't make em like him anymore, awesome to watch
Can't wait to see Barry's tough table challenge attempt 😅
Reportedly had 18 attempts, the whole video was 5 mins long😅
can't be worse than Davis fouling on the first shot...
Barry will want to beat Steve Davis in the hope that he'll stop sending him Magma box sets every Christmas.
He'd talk the balls into the pockets...
They say it went on for days so they run out of space in their digital camera
