Whether you loved or hated this interview, and love or hate Ronnie, I think you will all enjoy the first interview we did here: let me know what you think: ruclips.net/video/zJSPua7ljB4/видео.html
Thanks Rob. Great interview with Ronnie. I have commented too. Thanks for the link for another interview with Ronnie. I will watch that now thanks. Best wishes 👍
It's a miracle that this great sportsman survived his father's going to prison when he was on the verge of turning pro. Incredible person.
Well said
I hear you, but at the same time don't you think it's in part what made Ronnie so successful?
@@RobMooreDisruptors yeah no doubt - fire in the belly. Mind you, my old man went to prison for a year and I haven’t quite managed to galvanise that into the success I’d like. Maybe if he’d been in longer 😆 Still, will keep learning…
Without doubt, the GOAT. I am always a bit depressed if he gets knocked out of tournaments early and lose interest in the rest of it. He is absolutely fantastic when he's in the zone and potting just about everything and I hate it when he isn't. Outstanding professional and he knows that he is the best, but is very self depreciating a lot of the time. Top man.
Totally with you. I'll be at Ronnie's first round in the worlds next year
I consider myself fortunate to have been lucky enough to watch Ronnie from the very beginning until the present day, I knew 30 years ago he was going to be a force in the game, I just didn't realise what a force he would turn out to be. Incredible snooker player, surpassed only by him being an incredible person.
I also agree to be fortunate to witness it. How did you know (of) Ronnie back then?
@@RobMooreDisruptors Have never met Ronnie Rob, I am hoping my comment didn't imply I know Ronnie. I played a lot of snooker back in the day, I knew some of the top players around leeds, still do. I followed snooker keenly back then and I had noticed the real talent didn't seem to climb up the rankings in a 'gradual, prolonged' manner, they actually seemed to come out of nowhere, race up the rankings overnight, metaphorically speaking.
Ronnie was one of those players, combined with a flamboyant style, lots of 'presence' around the table.
Over the years I've watched his style change so many times, in different ways, amazing really, remarkable to have that built in longevity, unheard of in most sports to be the man to be beat in 30 years.
Difficult to argue with anything O'Sullivan says, he's always been honourable, whether we choose to agree with him or not.
Him not wanting to talk about money because so many people are struggling financially at the moment is actually really fucking sweet of him. Good bloke.
Very true. Where has he given it all?
Yes I didn't push that one, because whilst there is nothing wrong with talking about money I agree with your sentiment here about Ronnie's sentiment
My admiration and respect for this true modern day legend has reached all new levels !! The small segment about money, and Ronnie acknowledging others struggling….
Never understand why people say that Ronnie is flawed. He's just a bloke that can play snooker phenomenally. That all that matters really.
It's his queef that I'm interested in.
I mean, maybe it's the bizarre and erratic behaviour, strongly signalling MH issues, that prompts people to use 'flawed'? Not a phrase I'd use myself.
Without the talent he'd just be a TWAT but oh no, with that talent we will label him as a genius or better still, a tormented genius. We always need to legitimise misbehaviour when it's from someone we all enjoy watching on screen don't we?
What a great interview. I enjoyed every minute. Great questions, honest answers. A perfect interview. I take my hat off to you Rob. Thank you for sharing. Ronnie mentioned he's not sure what to do when he retires. As he mentioned he doesn't play anymore for the money as he is lucky to be financially ok. I really think Ronnie would make the perfect coach for a snooker academy in the uk. Ronnie could help potential future Jimmy Whites, Alex Higgins and Ronnies. Ronnie would be a great ambassador for the uk. Kids that wanted to learn snooker but parents haven’t the money would definitely benefit with an academy. Ronnie would get such a reward helping these youngsters. Maybe even getting snooker players involved and playing at his academy on special occasions too or even doing a regular tv programme for youngsters learning the game. If I could go back in time I would of perfected a career as a pianist. I didn't have the money in the 80's or 90s to pay for piano lessons even though my music teacher gave me some free lessons and told me I have to keep playing because I had a gift. Im now learning again thanks to free lessons on RUclips aged 50 but career wise I'm too late now. I wouldn't want a future amazing snooker player to go by without nurturing their talent because their parents or themselves can't afford snooker coaching or lessons. Also more snooker clubs are now closing in the uk instead of opening up! Best wishes to Ronnie anyway. I know Ronnie doesn't read on RUclips or post on social media like he said but if you have read this Rob, thanks again for sharing your great interview with great questions. If you see Ronnie again tell him from me he does deserve a pat on his back and he will be remembered for being a great snooker player, also for being a great ambassador for mental health, and being a great family man too. I take my hat off to Ronnie and to you Rob. Thanks again. Best wishes 👍
He's definitely in a different mood than the first podcast but that's wot makes him the greatest with 21 majors 39 ranking titles the most centuries and 147s and world number 1 at 46 and he done it all on his own terms 👍
Totally agree. The first episode and second episode are very different and that is just how it should be, right?
Enjoyed every second of that.Great interview, thank you.
Thank you. DId you watch the first one I did with him?
Great video - Thanks Rob. Ronnie is a legend.
Im a big footy and golf fan but there is something about Ronnie, that makes him unique and interesting.
Does anyone know when his documentary is due to be aired??
I agree. Did you watch my interview with Kevin Pietersen, similar traits perhaps?
@@RobMooreDisruptors I didnt, but Kevin isnt everyones cup of tea. Sure he's well qualified, but he comes accross as arrogant imo.
Ronnie is a legend. Greatest of all time.
Amen to that. Did you watch the first interview I did with him?
great interview rob
Great interview!
Class interview. Great questions with great insight in to the GOAT.
Thank you David that is very kind and means a lot
Great interview 👍
All genius individuals are flawed in someway. This man is one of the great sportsman of all time. Fantastic insight into the mind of a sporting legend
That sounds like jealously, ''All geniuses are flawed in some way'', because you haven't explained why, please do, it's easy to explain by the way lol, I'll wait as long as it takes.
@@mikemorris4548 it wasn't meant to sound offensive or come across as jealous. When I said "flawed" maybe that was the wrong word. I mean different to the average person. That's what makes them a genius. If it's easy to explain, then educate me please Prof Mike 👍
he ain't a sportsman FFS - he plays snooker
Both interviews are lovely
Enjoyable. Thank you.
17::21 - would love to know when he thought he played well and lost.
Ronnie is a pure legend. Deeply gifted. He doesn't seem to see it as a gift - but it 100% is a gift.
Very few properly gifted players - Davis, Hendry, both Higgins, White, Trump - Ronnie is the cream of that crop.
Met Ronnie once - he held my phone while taking a selfie. Glad to report there was no shake while the arm was extended! 🙂
Much love from Ireland. Thanks Rob Moore for engaging 👍
I could listen to you interview Ronnie all day long
Brilliant interview, thanks
Greatest snooker player of all time! As a person probably one of the best characters alongside Jimmy White!
Don’t forget Alex.
Thank you Rob and Ronnie. Great insight on life. GOD BLESS
And thank you too. Means a lot
I don't want to do things that are hard
Snooker is hard though
No, not really, it's easy
But you've said many times how hard it is on you
Yes but if I agree with that now, my original point will be invalid
Gosh, what a genius you are Ronnie!
A GENIUS A LEGEND THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME ROCKET RONNIE.
He's the greatest 21 majors 39 ranking titles the most centuries and 147s keeping hendry Higgins Williams Selby robbo ding now trump at bay entertaining us for decades keeping snooker relevant and sponsors happy.... His longevity is legendary and will be his lecacy and world number 1 at 46 🙏 his aura and presence is unique nobody like him everything he does makes headlines for the sport 👍
Hendry retired years ago. Snooker has been on the decline for years
@@xanderj822 Snooker is on the ascent not decline !
The Queen will never realize this fact, and Ronnie would curse me out for saying it, but ROS IS AN ABSOLUTE NATIONAL TREASURE ♥️👍☺️🇨🇦🏃♂️
I could literally write a book 📚 why his brilliance is only matched by a few figures in the 20th century, but I’ll leave it at that. All I will say is the reluctant hero, is the greatest OF ALL, heroes ~
I don't understand what you mean here? Can you elaborate?
proper bloke that ronnie what a guest 🙏🏻
The conversations between O'Sullivan and Hendry are more revealing. The respect they have for each other is so obvious. However this was a great interview nonetheless.
When is the Ronnie Netflix doc out?
It's 100 percent right what Rob says he is one of if not the best pound 4 pound sportsman on the planet
Amazing snooker player
I don't underrate him, I know how to rate and where to rate him, and I completely understand him. Having an everyday brain isn't good enough to know what people like Ronnie are trying to talk about and say, you need real deep and natural understanding.
What challenges do you think this give Ronnie that others don't have?
When a genius talks, it's hard to understand where he's coming from on certain topics but this was a huge insight into the personality of ROS. Great interview 👏 (again).
I understood everything. He is amazing
There should definitely be a feature film quality documentary made on Ronnie someday, like there has been on other similar talents like Michael Jordan.
He is a very nice person and a Gentleman greatest of all time
Biggest regret was choosing snooker? Really......Preferred F1? Yeah may have been hopeless at that and we would never have heard of him.
My hero!
O'Sullican is a great player, great ambassador for snooker and sport overall, and an intelligent, witty guy. Very enjoyable interview.
Great player is Ronnie, one of the best ever, but for me personally my favourite player will always be Alex Higgins, he was the most exciting player as a spectator/fan
He may regret it but he is the greatest player to ever pick up a cue!
Nice jacket rob!
Ronnie is a legend I love his enthusiasm for other sports aswell especially formula 1 which is my sport and has been for 23 years
I feel like had he chosen formula 1 or tennis, darts, football, or athletics I still believe he would be as talented at them as what he is at snooker 🎱
He said his biggest worry was constantly thinking he wasn’t good enough as a player and his lack of confidence yet earlier he said he knew he was going to win and knew even before the match started, and like a cat playing with a mouse, he played around with players knowing the end result. Which is it? Stressing over not being good enough or cocky knowing before hand that he would win?
I like the guy ,,he shares similar views to me ,,i have zero patience either i refuse to cue up for stuff,,difference is hes class at snooker and i can hardly hold a cue
snooker wouldnt be where its at if it wasnt for ronnie.if snooker was as popular as golf then he would be a superstar. saying that hes a millionaire and idloised by us snooker fans. its his personality and flaws that i like most, his book (run) helped me got into running, for the mental side rather than the6 physical benefits. hes just a normal bloke who was born to play snooker
Just watching this for the first time. @4:56 -- Lionel Messi must have heard you, Ronnie. Haha. He's won it now! 😁 Great podcast. The jury is out on that jacket though, Rob... Did you lose a bet? Only joking. I'm just jealous really. Love your podcasts. Keep it up. We appreciate you. 👍👍❤ Happy new year.
The audience, ffs. Get rid of them.
Brilliant, cheers Rob.
Indeed a real champion wins against life
When are you going to interview Jim Davidson lol?
If you hadn't had chose snooker you would have been known as Ronnie Who
So he regrets taking up snooker and all it gave him. Better than digging the roads or stacking shelves Ronnie. I love snooker and watching him but he does talk utter boxxocks.
audio from Ronnie's end was weak , have a better mic / audio set up
Thank you for the feedback. He talks a lot quieter than me, but noted
the best in the west
In his autobiography, he said he didn’t make money from snooker for a long time !
Greatest player of all time and love him as a player how could you not
But he seems to play mind games and never seems to be serious about anything and impossible to read because of this like when he mentions his left handed play i tried it and it worked good, your either left handed right handed or both
Never known anyone or heard of anyone thats not left or right handed that learnt to be one or the other and you dont just find out over night just strange
Im right handed and i know that no matter how much i practised it will never happen arm is useless to such a degree that not sure room for this to happen
buy maybe its possible but he is like this with lots of things like for decades dont like snooker gonna pack it in and still there now
Just seems like he says to others the opposite to what his intentions etc actually are, like saying he cant stand snooker to people when he actually loves it
Does come across like an act his mischevious ways shame people don't really know what's going on inside with him very difficult person to read
When he is blaze about snooker he wouldn't be saying that if he was bag filler in tescos or road sweeper or out of work from disability etc
People would not complain at all to be in his position as the best and must be highest paid snooker player that ever lived
Shame he aint more down to earth where he is bit more predictable, maybe its not his fault mental illness etc who knows or just the person he is
Yeah would have been better to choose Tesco’s
always been a big fan of ronnie but you get bored hearing his hate for snooker maybey would feel better within himself to walk away , must admit aswell the way snookers run these days i cant be bothered watching it anymore the more women mixing with men now ruins it for me its too tedious to watch , im not sexist it just shows how the wrong people within the sport can damage it big time
Ronnie should be talking about more important stuff in life rather than just his snooker career.
For Example,.
They never discussed how
Michael Jackson was murdered by the illuminati.
This is more important than discussing just snooker.
Assuming what you said about MJ is true, how is Ronnie supposed to know about that ?!?
@@michaeltrumph121
I don't believe he is that dumb.
All his interviews revolve around just snooker and he never drops any knowledge about anything else.
Obviously the interviewer has written pre-prepared questions - but Ronnie does not have any pre-prepared answers so he can drop other types of knowledge when the interviewer asks him about non-snooker related stuff.
Prince was also murdered as a blood sacrifice by the illuminati.
The illuminati killed MJ aswell.
Its true Michael and you even have the same first name as MJ.
Dorian Yates taught me - go watch his interviews with Dave Palumbo on RUclips.
Dorian Yates is a British Bodybuilder who won Mr.Olympia 6 times.
He is from Birmingham.
He drops knowledge in his interviews about other stuff (such as the illuminati) aswell as coaching advice on pro bodybuilding.
This guy won more bodybuilding titles than Arnold Swarchznegger - AND HES BRITISH!
Dave Palumbo challenged him in a live video stream on RUclips.
Type in "Dorian Yates controversial interview Dave Palumbo" on RUclips.
So sportsman can drop knowledge about other stuff aswell.
Shaun Murphy us the 2005 world snooker champion and he did an interview after he won the world title where he openly promoted his born again Christian faith.
Hes a blooming mona lisa he has god given talent everyone knows the struggles hes had but we have all had those struggles all through covid and the situation now just to try and put food on the table im totally fed up of ronnie saying aww poor me
Great players like us will always exist and we’ve transformed snooker and most likely are even bigger than the sport. Being in the limelight as a professional impacts you greater than an ordinary individual not within the sports field, we have so much expectations from fans it’s tough to stay on top
All of the time.
Thanks for your content,I enjoy the process of investing as I am well informed about the companies I am investing in that earned me $56,078 after investment of $8,500. As the matter of fact, I enjoy the process more than the outcome! Thanks again 🙂
@Henry Chris 98 Thank you for this, I'll definitely reach out to her too .thanks again

Whats sport does he play?
Snooker 🎱👍🏻
Tiddlywinks
he plays snooker which isn't a real sport
@@Billy_Boozer What are we going to do with you Billy?
@@wkwhiteknght2223 is it a sport really? I realize that it helps to keep fit, but it's a very unhealthy game if you do it professionally. bending over a table eight hours a day. ı've done it, ı know.
Lol he talks shit sometimes. Another sport my arse. No way he would have been so dominant when his mind allowed.
Haters like you against top sportsman like me and Ronnie will always exist. We play for ourselves and not for people like you.
imagine winning the eighth world championship playing lefthanded
Ronnie admitting when he plays A game he wins every match he plays
If I wasn't such a big Ronnie fan I'd have a complete pain in my bol@@x listening to him go on about how much he hates snooker. Its afforded him a lifestyle most of us can't even imagine, and at the end of the day he's had 30 years to walk away from the sport he "hates". I think Ronnie secretly regrets not being a rock star. He definitely has the attitude and looks of one, maybe if the remaining Beatles get back together they could ask Ronnie to fill in for John. They might even choose a small intimate venue, somewhere like the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield. Lol.
Don't you just love that paradox though?
@@RobMooreDisruptors Of course, that's what makes him such an enigma. And when he's in the humour for playing and queueing well, it's just like watching an absolute genius or even an artist. Thanks for your reply mate!!!!
Ronnie still hasn't grown up, heard him before saying he sholud have chosen Golf or Racing or Tennis, even Politics, if he'd chosen anything other than snooker he would have been an also ran, he owes everything to Snooker and his ability to play to play it.
he's just a little boy wanting attention
@@Billy_Boozer True but why does he constantly slag the game that made him.
Wouldn’t be as good if he wasn’t a bit nutty.
He owes nothing to snooker, if anything snooker owes him as he’s kept the sport current and alive.
@@CEO786 as a fellow pro that's bollocks, as good as he is the sport is always bigger & will always move on, it doesn't need Ronnie's negatively, he is known by many on tour as Ronnie the Johnny, he's interviews are often embarrassing, he's unable to read the room..
Love Ronnie but the audience laughing at his story about doing 160MPH... hardly funny.
8 world titles is on the cards...
Not sure he is up for the drain of another world title bid. He would also still be way behind the record of 15 by Joe Davis.
@@streetspirit956 Do you watch him play? Did you see him in the opening tournament of the 22/23 season? His form looks plenty good enough to challenge another world title.
@@Ian-zj1bu Its nothing to do with his form. Its wether he is willing to put himself through the drain and pressure of another world title bid which he has said many times he doesnt enjoy
Ronnie O’Sullivan…what’s your favourite colour green…next day yellow….if Tyson Fury is someone to admire then maybe it’s best just to watch his brilliant snooker play and not listen to his opinions
The Title, i regret choosing snooker, that doesn't add up. Ronnie, it has made you a millionaire, and given you fame, so saying i regret, doesn't add up Ronnie, or as we say here, in Australia, it doesn't pass the pub test .Just like Walter Lindrum, you were, and are the best, maybe totally your fault Ronnie, as you could have played 2 sports, or more .
Sometimes i wish he'd just shut up... going on about not wanting his kids to play snooker. Snooker has given him everything and we've all had the pleasure of watching his genius.. flawed though he is.
Do you know find that paradox intriguing though? Is that not part of the charm of Ronnie?
he is clueless because he has earned big money all his adult life. He could have retired at 30 and lived better than 98% of people. He choose to carry on and his moaning makes me sick
Yeah he can get a bit tedious at times .... and I'm a big Ronnie fan as well !!!
Snooker has given him a hell of a lot .... it goes both ways.
He isn’t clueless he gave snooker a platform otherwise it would have dissipated as a sport . He’s just a player that worked his way to get to the top with hard work and tenacity something you could learn from. Going to collect your UC payments monthly isn’t tenacious.
YES RONNIE IS THE BEST THATS EVER BEEN AT SNOOKER, BUT HE DOES TALK A LOAD OF BOLLOCKS, WHEN HE SAYS HE WISH HE HADNT CHOSEN SNOOKER, ABOVE FORMULA ONE, ITS JUST ANOTHER ONE OF HIS SHOCKING STATEMENTS, TO FULLFILL HIS GIANT EGO, THATS THE PART I DONT LIKE ABOUT HIM, BUT THE CROWD DO, AND THATS WHY HE DOES IT.
He's got school bills to pay... oh, wait, he's not thinking about the money...
This a repeat
Ronnie is whiny git at times...
Ding what you doing here, shouldn’t you be practicing
Retire
how is he underrated? nonsense.
Lol also he is no genius
And what have you achieved?
@@faisalchechi2158 lol is that the best you have as a come back? Egit
"genius" implies a high level of intelligence. Sadly Ronnie is lacking in this area
Ronnie's a genius the way Paul Gascoigne was a genius: a brain with exceptional perception of physical space and see the ability to manipulate the ball to his sporting advantage: call it high spatial and kinesthetic intelligence if you want to get fancy
Bored with listening to his BS.
Hes an attention seeker.
Just can't help himself !!
@John goldsmith are you out of your mind, man? you don't know shit about snooker obviously. frauds? you can criticize them in many whys, but how can you blame them for being frauds.
@John goldsmith lol hendry and davis are frauds? Both those players were brilliant
