I have a college degree in snooker with two minors - in billiards and pool.
In my youth, Stephen Hendry was the greatest player alive.
Not the most exciting, but certainly, the greatest.
I quote a sportswriter, out of context, to capture Hendry, The Great: “With a pallor that suggested his skin had not seen sunlight for years, he potted the balls… again and again, for hours on end… no, days on end.”
And I add, “Till he won”.
Hendry retired last week.
Hendry, in his prime, versus Ronnie O’Sullivan (in his prime).
That would have been a master-class.
