  Hi Stephen. Showed this to Ray Reardon today. He chuckled at the him and Bill Werbeniuk morning session story. Also when Dennis said about ray didn’t make a lot of 100 breaks but loads of one frame visit breaks. He said he felt he didn’t want to wear  himself out and that he said he’d have an 80 and his opponent can have the other 20 😂. He remembers the match where Dennis said ray played some of the best snooker he’s seen. Said he only missed like 2 pots the whole tournament. What a character he is. And still playing at 90. Helped me for Q school this year. Wealth of knowledge about the game. So many great story’s

  Hendry shows such a humble and passionate interest in everyone he interviews. Incredible considering he was amongst the greatest players

  Been there every year since 1977 is impressive. One of the best commentators.

  As an American of 35 years, playing 8 ball pool in clubs since I was maybe 5 with my father, only discovering the game of snooker along with these snooker legends possibly 10 years ago? I can easily say this channel is just a pure delight. Can’t believe This is available free of charge on YouTube! Thank you, Steven!

  Not only a true legend but What a rich piece of history!! Stories about playing with Alex in the early days?! Knowing Fred Davis?! 😱 All the barn-storming stories about an almost lost era .. 😮 😢 Times with Reardon!? WOWOWOW these elder-sportsmen should be HONOURED &amp; RESPECTED by the young players for what they pioneered in the sport!! 🫡<br>Thanks again for taking the time to showcase this true gentleman &amp; ambassador 💪👌😊

  I could listen to Dennis talk about snooker history for hours. He’s got so many tales and he’s a great storyteller, I’d like to see him on again, or maybe do a proper podcast.
