Ben, great video. Never knew you had a RUclips channel but have subscribed now. Did he give you those cue tips in the end?! Was looking forward to seeing them but they didn't happen
So nice to see a guy like Ben on this video... I was lucky enough to know him for a few years growing up, he never let fame/money change him. He is a family man and even when we went out in town for a night out, he would always take time for photos with fans and looked after his mates whenever possible. A true gentleman and his whole family are just genuinely nice people. Deserves everything that comes his way, nothing but love and respect for the guy 👌
One of the best series on RUclips, and it is a huge opportunity to make snooker accessible to a wider audience. The personalities are fantastic and Stephen gets the best out of them.
Ive never heard of Ben Foster before but he seems to be as big of a snooker fan as me so this is great to watch from a fans perspective. I love his enthusiasm
@@dom9707 May shock you to hear this, but not everyone watches football, and some who do will only watch it casually, so would only know the big names. Ben Foster has never been a big name to casuals, aside from a handful of the people who only watch England play.
These videos just keep getting better. Mr Hendry is a natural in front of the camera, and a great teacher!! I can feel myself getting better at snooker just by watching!
I love how he seems so close to his dad. We need to appreciate and cherish the moments we have with parents. Didn't know much about Ben but he seems like a gem of a guy...
Hi Stephen , I am originally from Nelson , NZ , and knew a guy , Mark , who was from Hull in Yorkshire . He used to tell me the yarn about when he returned to Hull for a working holiday , he visited his old snooker club that he used to play in , was having a knock about by himself , when this young kid , about 12 years old , came in and offered him a frame , winner take all , ten quid I think , Mark broke , quite happy with the result and before he knew it was 20 or 30 points in arrears ! Mark scored a few points but the inevitable end of the game came , he had lost , the young guy picked up the money , unscrewed his cue and packed it away in to the case and began to walk out the door , mark called out to him , you are a very good player for your age , just in case you become famous , what's your name , " Stephen Hendry " was the reply ! Don't know if there is any truth to this story , but I always enjoyed it . Thanks for the great vlogs .
Never been a snooker fan but love Ben’s RUclips channel. There’s something very satisfying about having a snooker game going on during an interview and Stephen is fantastic at making conversation, great watch
I grew up with Ben and his brothers. He played in my 4 a side football team and I played in league snooker with them too. Bens dad Terry is a massive Hendry fan so he’d be buzzing to see Ben here with Stephen
I never knew Stephen Hendry had a RUclips channel until now! An absolute legend of the game of snooker, used to love his finals/games against Ken Doherty.
Some great comments by Ben Foster. Love this format - both asking questions and making entertaining informative statements about pro sport. Really great stuff. Thanks.
Gotta be the best snooker channel out there ain't it, can't get better than this also, it'll be amazing to see ronnie o'sullivan on here, playing. Loving it
I’m so glad Stephen has taken up You Tubing! These frame-interviews are the best! He’s such a nice guy around the table and gives a lot of insight in the snookers mind of the best players. And Ben is a gem as well and plays a decent game of snooker and has some great stories! Enjoyed this video very much!
The cycling GK legend himself and the GOAT this is the content we want to see. Shame not to see Ben with the go pro cam... Stephen thanks for getting this guy on the channel... friggin great.🙂
I love snooker and I genuinely had no idea the tables were heated! Ben is such a chill dude as well, type of guy who'd be sick to go for a pint with, really cool to have him on 🤘
Half way through and I had to comment, an amazing comparison between a team and individual sport, but equally two greats appreciating each others accomplishments but also examining the amateur life so to speak of early day professionals, just shows how far each game/sport has come 👏🏻
I am a bike and car guy, but Stephens' chanell is my new favourite, what a gent and a fellow celt obviously. Terry Griffiths would always give us urchins a nod and a wave when he came home off the train from some tournament somewhere. Always been a snooker fan. Luckily in Burry Port we had a heavily subsidised club with 5 tables paid for in perpetuity by a fund from the coal miners 100+ years ago
From watching Ben to coming across this channel, one of the all time greats in snooker, childhood memories growing up watching you. Good luck with the channel, new subscriber in me and looking forward to the content.
Great video. Stephen is still so good, you can just tell when he is gonna miss, and not only that, when he misses, he always leaves decent situation for ben. Was a joy to watch.
Ikr! Thanks to this channel, I'm getting to really appreciate Stephen and see that he's not as cold and arrogant as I thought (at least not anymore). Great to see!
@@neilsmith3293 I don't believe you are actually a football fan with that attitude. Sometimes a team chooses you and you have no choice. That means you cannot change your team. It's in your blood till you die. That has ZERO to do with a post code! What do you do if you're born equidistant between Blues and Villa? Your comment is that of someone who doesn't get football rivalry and passion son!!!!
This is my new favourite RUclips channel. Amazing content. Love all the tips. I love snooker but don't play it at the moment but this has just given me the urge to get back on the table. I love the way you break things down, step by step, and explain it all in ways that everyone can understand. Keep the videos coming, well done! 🏴🎱
Love it. Watched a lot of Ben’s vids in lockdown and was interesting to hear the behind the scenes stuff. This was like that and better. The stories are what makes it.
This is such a good idea playing with well known people that aren't billiards pros, but can still play at some level (like the rest of us). Love all the discussion and it's brilliant when you start guiding him to teach the rest of us too. I know it's not in your makeup, but it's nice when you just go for trick shots and let them stay in it. It's not like we don't know that you can beat them every time, if you were being serious about it. It's also nice seeing you clean up with good form at the end though too.
I love this , its brillianr, I am a massive snooker and football fan also a support worker for people with learning difficulties, big thank you to Stephen hendry and Ben Foster
It's great to see Stephen coaching Ben and talking him through the shot choice and why. Would love to see more of this type of video - doesn't even need to be a former international footballer next time 😂
What's great about these Stephen Hendry videos is they are exactly like Snooker in a nutshell, entertaining, with an edge to it and with a world champion playing full of genius! All the top players, the ones who are true champions are genuine geniuses, but what makes them watchable is when they click into genius mode, some players play good for a week and win titles but when you do it for 10 years solid that's another level? few ever reach that level and its beyond most peoples comprehension that an individual can be that good! Finally the most interesting thing about this video was Stephen talking about his career not based on the wins but the losses?
I haven’t played snooker in years and because of you and this channel I’m headed down the local snooker club this week. Found my old cue in the loft and apart from the dust on the case it looks as good as new 😂
This is a great concept for videos. Really interesting, both seemed at ease with each other and really entertaining to watch. Love it! Keep it up man, great channel.
Only recently found your channel Stephen, great content, loved it. Well done keep em coming. You will have a million subscribers in no time. Liked and subscribed. John
It's that thing of we've all seen professionals in a sport on TV or maybe live in the stadium or the arena, but when you're opposite them and seeing what it's really about, the difference between them and even a relatively good amateur is honestly mind blowing.
Thanks for having me! Win or lose, just to see what the level is like up close and personal!!! WOW!! 🔥🔥👏👏
Yes foza u beast
Ben, great video. Never knew you had a RUclips channel but have subscribed now.
Did he give you those cue tips in the end?! Was looking forward to seeing them but they didn't happen
@@fergaltierney8672prob another video to follow👍🏼
@thecyclinggk you look about the same standard as me, always bottle it after 3 reds and blacks🤣 who better to get tips from than SH!!
Hopefully you return the favour and get him on the podcast mate
This is exactly what we want. Different sports stars having banter and chat while potting some balls. Class content Stephen!
Up the boro
Loved this! One of my all time sporting heroes! And Ben Foster
mark goldbridge on next?👀
Who else read this in Mark goldbridge's voice 😅
So nice to see a guy like Ben on this video... I was lucky enough to know him for a few years growing up, he never let fame/money change him.

leam lad?
@@jageiosjgaeiojg Warwick, but born in Leamington as Warwick hospital didn't have a maternity ward when I was born 😆
Hendry played better in that practice than he has played in two years 😄
I used to live a mile from Lillington when he was at West Brom. Supported the Baggies all my life and had no idea he was so close.
Love seeing this 👌
One of the best series on RUclips, and it is a huge opportunity to make snooker accessible to a wider audience.
The personalities are fantastic and Stephen gets the best out of them.
Ive never heard of Ben Foster before but he seems to be as big of a snooker fan as me so this is great to watch from a fans perspective. I love his enthusiasm
a part of english heritage
You don't know who Ben Foster is?

I had no idea who he was
Ben has always been an outsatnding goalkeeper but what this video shows is how much of a top bloke he is too. Superb as always Steven!
What a lovely guy Ben Foster is. My favourite video yet
Loving this channel.... Stephen is a natural at putting his guests at ease and doing a great job on the interviews. Awesome stuff.
is this Andy Kennedy Snooker table fitter???? if it is you should be putting a channel together to show how a proper table fitter goes about his job!
These videos just keep getting better. Mr Hendry is a natural in front of the camera, and a great teacher!! I can feel myself getting better at snooker just by watching!
This was amazing... Love Ben.. He's a premier league footballer but he's also just one of the lads.. Just a genuine guy..
I love how he seems so close to his dad. We need to appreciate and cherish the moments we have with parents. Didn't know much about Ben but he seems like a gem of a guy...

Been watching Stephen since the beginning. Great to see his personality come out in these amazing videos. Could watch em all day. Keep it up, Legend!
This channel is amazing. Snooker has needed this for years.

Stephens one of the most naturally talented interviewers I’ve seen, he’s got it absolutely brilliant at it
Love the videos mate
Stephen was always my favourite snooker player growing up. A true gentleman of the game!
Love to see him as a person and man.
This is truly what RUclips is for , pure entertainment , Great work Stephen !

Probably sees himself as more of a Brit than a Celt to be fair
This is 1 of my favourite Que tips eps Ben is so genuine and u could really see how much he appreciated how much of a legend Hendry is 👍
I love this! Bens so nervous haha clearly in awe of Hendry and how good is Steven Hendry as a host
He really enjoyed that game with Stephen. You could see it in every inch of the smile on his face! 😍
Stephen is brilliant on this channel puts everyone at ease ❤
Hands down best episode yet, behind Davis then Murphy. Great progress on this channel
The crossover I never knew I needed, this was incredible
Stephen Hendry is natural talent, to start play snooker very late at 13 and then dominating snooker shows why he was the best
A heated table! I thought my pool table always seemed to play a bit slower in the winter. Another pearl of wisdom from this channel. 👍
What a brilliant episode - nothing but joy from start to finish
Great content Stephen. Kinda genius to have some chats with some sports personalities while having a casual game. I hope for more of these :)
From watching Ben to coming across this channel, one of the all time greats in snooker, childhood memories growing up watching you. Good luck with the channel, new subscriber in me and looking forward to the content.
Great video. Stephen is still so good, you can just tell when he is gonna miss, and not only that, when he misses, he always leaves decent situation for ben. Was a joy to watch.
It,s crazy seeing Stephen hendry now joking and having a laugh after growing up watching him play in the 90,s very straight faced and serious.
Ikr! Thanks to this channel, I'm getting to really appreciate Stephen and see that he's not as cold and arrogant as I thought (at least not anymore). Great to see!
Absolutely loved how Stephen allows Ben the chance by missing the green without him realising
this channel just gets better and better great advertisement for snooker to.
just wonderful, please invite more snooker enthusiasts from other professions !
Yep. New favourite channel here! More of this please!
First ive seen anything like this, nice to watch 2 professionals having a chilled game of snooker whilst talking about life.
Love these interviews. Something different - class work Stephen
As a snooker fan, Man Utd supporter and Leamington lad, this video has everything!
What a great presenter Stephen is, and Ben is such a top bloke 👌
So your a glory hunter not a proper football fan … support your local otherwise your fake fan
@@neilsmith3293 And you are so naive that you think that football is all about a post code NOT passion? 🤣🤣🤣

Your videos are great Stephen... and your interview skills are bang on , a perfect blend of listening and speaking 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Never thought, watching Stephen in his young years, he would develop in such an aimable & entertaining man. I like these sessions a lot 👍
Yea it pleasantly surprised me too but I’m loving it🎉😂❤🎉😂❤Hendry is a legend
This should be made into a tv programme very good work Stephen hendry I have seen a lots of these and I enjoyed all of them thanks you
That was great,Fozzy is a brilliant personality

You will make it up to a million subs and more Stephen if you keep coming with the content you are producing. Love this channel 👍
Another amazing video, these are so fun to watch!
This is the best episode so far. Loving this man, congrats on getting the Channel up and running. Great idea.
I love this , its brillianr, I am a massive snooker and football fan also a support worker for people with learning difficulties, big thank you to Stephen hendry and Ben Foster

this is my fav episode so far. Ben Foster is an absolute gent. and not bad at snooker either
Great video! Heaters definitely make a difference in speed and consistency and are being added to more clubs worldwide.
Lovely video with interesting talk stuff!❤

2 of my favourite RUclipsrs doing a collaboration, fantastic to watch
Really enjoying these interviews with the non-snooker sportspeople. Ben seems like one of the nicest blokes.

Good stuff lads, I never thought Ben Foster would be the person who introduced me to Stephen Hendry’s RUclips channel.
Was never a fan of Ben Foster, but I am now after watching this! Seems like a genuine good decent bloke. Thanks for this video
There's something very watchable about two decent blokes having a chat over a frame of snooker.
His enthusiasm is infectious!
This channel is properly good. Stephen IS a natural. Great idea to get non snooker players on too. Think of the possibilities for guests.
That was very entertaining. I love watching this channel.
Love these episodes! Great chat and cracking game. I didnt know snooker tables were heated!
Can't wait when you invite "break from life" guy
This channel is absolutely brilliant, thank you Mr Hendry. Now subscribing.
Love it Ben calls everyone mate . Top man
Love this channel, keep the videos coming 👍
This is a great concept for videos. Really interesting, both seemed at ease with each other and really entertaining to watch. Love it! Keep it up man, great channel.
Lovely to see Stephen at it again, I followed his career religiously back in the day.

Lovely guy Ben Foster. Really enjoyed this episode.
This was brill loved all the banter as well.
Loved that, thanks! Two absolute top blokes
Stephens videos are a must watch .
Ben is such a down to earth guy. Great video.
Absolute top video, 2 top blokes having a laugh and a frame of snooker!
Love Ben's reaction to Stephen's first red, hilarious. It's like 'okay, I get it, this is how a pro plays'
It's that thing of we've all seen professionals in a sport on TV or maybe live in the stadium or the arena, but when you're opposite them and seeing what it's really about, the difference between them and even a relatively good amateur is honestly mind blowing.
@@SamHeaton264 100% in sports, especially ones with individual competitors, the quality of pros versus amateurs is stark
That was so much fun to watch, really great to watch
You mentioned Ash cues catch a beard - would love a video about differences in cues, who plays with what and why.
Loved that, Ben and Stephen real people 👏
Obviously has to be a winner 😉
Brilliant thanks
This man made me love snooker as a kid. Played for Leeds and NI. Thanks Stevie for being a good role model.
Very enjoyable, Ben seems like a lovely bloke🙂
Being a goalkeeper from Bathgate. These two guys are my absolute heros. My mum used to serve Stephen in the big break in Bathgate.
