Is he supporting Boris now?
Loved watching him as a kid, whilst slightly more ‘sparky’ than Davis he had a similar tenacious, low risk, and methodical style. I imagine his career overlapped with Rocket Ronnie’s and the latter must’ve absolutely loathed playing Hendry.
He certainly was one of the best , but never one of my faves as his personality was zero.
Yes, you could often spot people dozing off, in the audience.
Generous to the last
The Stone Roses could’ve recorded an album in less time.He should have took his time with that shot
The best part is he then misses the shot
I didn't post that but they are quotes from Hendry's autobiography.
They played a famous grudge match in the semi final of the 2002 World Championship. Ronnie had mouthed off about Hendry and insulted him in a press interview before the match. Hendry let his cue do the talking and gave him a sound drubbing. The eyeballing from Hendry when they shook hands at the end said it all.
I’m happy to be proved wrong. Perhaps his rants about tax on his many millions simply evidence that he’s a tight c***?
I’d recently see a documentary about SH leaving his wife .
I think they seem to be pretty good buddies now. I think Ronnie is the GOAT outside of the Worlds which of course is Hendry’s domain.
Apparently he blew a large chunk of his wealth on bad investmentsI’d recently see a documentary about SH leaving his wife .
He’s never been a controversial figure but he must of had a mid life crisis ...
My mid life crisis was changing from carlsberg to coors
Good move, Carlsberg is probably the worst lager in the world (alongside that Carling swill).I’d recently see a documentary about SH leaving his wife .

Yes they are. Ronnie has grown up a lot and Hendry is too classy an act to hold a grudge with a fellow legend of the game. They are good mates now - did an excellent insta Q&A together during lockdown.
Interviewed afterwards Ronnie says the match changed his life because as the pressure grew "Stephen Hendry got more aggressive" and that he realised he needed to play the same way in future.
I saw that same lockdown video and loved it. Imagine spending a couple of hours with those two regaling you with stories from the tour. Be amazing. Hendry undoubtedly was a massive influence on Ronnie. I actually think the breakdown and walk off against him was a real change two. I’m sure he was very embarrassed afterwards and he seemed to come back from that with more resolve,Yes they are.

That 2002 match I mentioned - there's a two-hour edited highights of it (part of the BBC's Crucible Classics series) - its on youtube if you're ever bored
