I had the honor of meeting Ray Reardon at the New York Athletic Club. He was there for a snooker demonstration. Afterwards, I invited Ray to the pool hall to play some 9-Ball. His response? "I'm afraid if I stepped into a pool hall I'd fall in the pockets." 🤣
Honour.
Absolute legend of the game, and what a charming bloke Reardon is.
What a truly lovely man.
Always so happy and pleasant.
And indeed, Thank you Ray Reardon for all you have done for snooker.
It wouldn't be what it is today if wasn't for Ray and his generation.
What a wonderful man, so positive and kind in his manner. Rest in peace, sir.
A true gentleman and a legend of his time, 6 world championships-top player. RIP Ray.
What a wonderful interview! The GREAT Ray Reardon, aged 90, so so sharp. Love listening to his wisdom and memories.
Have just come back to watch this interview after the sad news of Ray’s passing. He was a titan of the sport and shaped the modern game as we know it. Rest in Peace Ray Reardon 1932-2024, a true gentleman, we owe so much to you.
Shame
What an absolute true gentleman and a legend.would love to meet him and shake his hand.a true Ambassador for snooker
Hes 90 and still going strong
You know he loves the game more than anything bc you can easily sense the pure joy he has being able to witness and experience what its like to watch Ronnie play snooker. The way he talks about Ronnie is like the way someone talks about the love of their life.
Sir Ray Reardon would be most deserved and overdue. What a man and mentor for snooker and life.
The great Mr Ray Reardon 6 times world champion.
He is a gentleman to his fingertips!! 👍
What an absolutely pleasant gentleman! A joy of an interview ❤
The man that did it all... needs alot more recognition over the like of ronnie and hendry in my view. Original king of the sport. What a man. Legend and GOAT
I had the privilege of meeting Ray many years ago at my local club. He's a true legend and a complete gentleman.
I hope we get more Ray content. The best of his era, a great snooker mind and seems to still be as sharp as ever.
A class act on the table and a true gentleman off the table. May you enjoy many more healthy years, Ray.
Could listen to him all day long, total legend of the game.
Mr Reardon, the player I looked up to and still do, a true gentleman and legend of the world, would love a longer interview, play well 😁
One of the most nicest person you will ever come across.
Legendary Ray Reardon.
Absolute gentleman and legend. Always been my favourite player.
Fantastic, it’s so rare these days to hear Ray Reardon talk, but he always has generous words to say about other players. He’s been like that all his life fabulous. Proper gentleman. 😎👍🏻
Love him, what a guy. Back in 1982 I wrote to a huge TV show, let's call it "James will arrange it for you", and my main wish as a 9 year old was to have a frame with Ray Reardon, such was my respect for him.
Means you are 50 and me 59
Back in 1982 i was a chubby 14 year old that hung out with a C.priest most Sundays.

@@user-xq3nk3kt5r You must be the only 59 year old in the world who was 14 in 1982.
@@AndrewDixonMusic My bad 18.Was still Chubby.Cant count for toffee.Sorry
Thank god he never read your letter…..
@@DeathNTaxes304 True!
As many have said what an absolute gentleman,shame it wasn’t a longer interview.
He talks about the game with such passion and enthusiasm,and it was him alongside Hurricane Higgins,John Spencer,Doug Mountjoy etc who paved the way for the stars we have today.
Great to see him fighting fit.
All the best Ray
True Legend of the Game! Love the Drac!! Hope he still plays on a table at home??? 6 times World Champ! Up there with the best! Oh yeah and he’s Welsh!!!
What a wonderful man I could listen to him talking snooker all day long .
My number one player of his day love the Man & respect he shows everyone. I could sit and watch any re-runs of his game,s. A true gentleman.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Legend, so positive as a person. 👏👏👏
I came away from this thinking what a lovely man he is, such a gentleman and it was so nice hear him support the modern players 😊
still my favourite snooker player... love the bloke.
Ray is spot on when says you can only be the best of your era, and he most assuredly was Mr. Seventies. One of the all time greats, and even brought something to Ronnie’s game, making him a more rounded player.
An absolute snooker legend. God bless this man. A hero of mine. He's why I love Snooker.
What an absolute gentleman he is
What a legend ray is I could listen to him talk forever , god bless him ❤
So lucky to of met ray at reardons in stoke back in the day when I was a youngster came and told us a few shots to play to make the game easier amazing gent
Lovely guy and a complete LEGEND. So humble. He used to pop into the local pub to where I used to live in stoke and my uncle hung around with his brother Ron.
Such a positive man, lots of encouragement and no gripes about the modern game, its great to see.
What a lovely fella he was 😢
He was always my favourite player. Such a good humoured, funny guy. His looks and mannerisms reminded me of my dad.
I watched over his car when I was a kid when he played an exhibition in a Working Mens Club many years ago, what a lovely man, R.I.P Ray Reardon, legend.
What a legend. How fortunate are the folk who get to play a frame or two with him to sharpen up their technique?!
What a wonderful interview.
What an incredible man. One of the all time great and a genuine gentleman.
Man, I loved listening to this.
Cheers, Ray.
he's a legend! ❤ AND a real gentleman!
I didn't know he was still alive! An absolute gentleman.
Charming and witty. What a gent
Upmost respect for ray and what a player he was 👌👍
90 and looking really well.
Thank you both.

Ray Riordan 6 times world champion. Ever the Gentleman. One of the greatest players to ever play snooker but what is more he is a kind, decent, honourable man. I wish you many more years of Good Food, Good Snooker and Good Golf, Ray.
Ray should write a book amazing life
think i'd love to have him as a granddad, just to hear all the stories hes got. My god what a pleasant person he is. ALL SMILES!
What a lovely guy. RIP ray.
One of the great characters of the game. Legend!!
my fave welsh player of all time and mark williams great players.
As a table fitter for going on 35 years I’ve met and worked for most of the players. I have to say though that Ray is one of the best. An absolute gentleman on & off the table. Just a lovely fella x
90 and still sharp as anything. Legend of the game.
Awesome interview 👍
I suspect this was one of Ray's last interviews. So sad he has died today.
He was such a lovely gentleman but was a very very tough player.
A gentleman ,when he speaks it's fascinating just draws you in.
OMG he's 90 unbelievable. True legend true genius true gentleman.
RIP Ray Reardon….lovely man!
Still quick witted and charming at ninety, what a legend
A true champion and a true legend of the game. And what a gentleman. Love hearing Ray Reardon speak about the game.
6 times world champion.A legand.
Hopefully hes stephen hendrys next guest on his podcast. Love listening to him
@@user-yz8rv6rd8x not really relevent to what i said though is it. Im sure even WSTs biggest troll can understand that
@@user-yz8rv6rd8x I believe the standard improved dramatically but you have to credit him for improving the standard of Snooker. It was still a game full of drunks/druggies whereas he was a completely dedicated professional to the game with 7 hours of practice a day.
I would say what got Hendry was the class of 92 coming along with their immense talent along with a decreased motivation from having surpassed Davis' world title count. The big mystery to me was why he fell off so hard, it wasn't a slow decline but a night and day difference.
@@JakeLesserdon't waste time with troller accounts.
@@thaihoangcfc I thought before typing that the guy wasn't looking for a real answer.
@@JakeLesser He crumbled against top opposition,not if your name was Jimmy..He literally won 4 of his 7 world titles against Jimmy,then Ebdon(and lost one WSC to Ebdon LOOOL) and then Nigel Bond!
Wow World class opponents Not!
I grew up in Devon and used to play in Rileys in Torquay. Ray owned the place before Rileys took over, anyway we used to see him come down for a coffee every now and again and would come over to the table to watch us play, he used to give advises like focus on the object ball as you strike and let your touch guide the cue ball.
Brilliant advise and great guy all around.
This was fantastic.
Three words describe Ray Reardon: legend, legend and legend 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
GOAT status for sure. Legend
REST IN PEACE RAY REARDON
Gentleman...god bless.
What an excellent man.
thanks RAY
RIP Ray. You're a legend
Lovely man had a few lessons of Ray,Big Gentleman & very funny.💯🚀🍀
If you wanna know the secret to longevity of life just listen to Ray speak. He is so open-minded, candid with his words and full of spirit. What an absolute gent 🤝 ❤️!
great player!!!!
he got to the 1982 World Final aged 49!
What a true gent. Best of his era. The game has changed and modern players probably play to a higher standard, but modern players could learn a thing or two about how to conduct themselves from Ray, and no doubt about the game. Would love to talk to him about snooker and have a lesson!
Lovely fella.
Wow, what a guy 😪
Legend, I read somewhere recently that he had a century break practicing.
You are a Gentleman.... 😊😇😊😇🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷💖
Big 90 ☘️🍀
R.I.P Ray, he seemed like a lovely man!
What a great man.
Looks very well for his age, absolute snooker legend! 🎱
Great player!
The great man himself!
Legend!
What a great player .
legend .
The guy is looking exceptionally well for 90. I'd settle for looking this healthy and full of life at 75!
So sharp A legend.
What a classy guy. Ronnie said he had Ray "teach" him the finer things of the game for a couple years. "It was some of the best times of my life" 😊
Can Ray make the century of life? I hope so!😁
Should've been knighted years ago. Legend of the game, 6 times world champion and so much more. And most importantly, such a kind and humble person.
Brilliant, just brilliant!
I was so pleased when Shaun Murphy had Ray in his top 5 players, six world titles, he has to be up there.
I'd love to see Ray play a frame with Stephen Hendry, on Stephen's RUclips channel if possible.
@@user-zz8qn7ne5w Yeah ik, even if it was just a long form interview that'd be fine too. Just anything while he's still alive yknow.
