Stephen Hendry

I Have been a fan of the game of snooker for over 10 of my 22 years. And in that time Stephen Hendry has been my favourite player throughout. I've seen him play an Exhibition match with Ronnie O'Sullivan in my hometown of Taunton.

If Steve Davis was the man of the 80’s, Stephan Hendry was certainly the man of the 90’s. When Stephen rose to fame, it seemed like the beginning of a new era in snooker players.

A new breed of snooker players has risen up, all able to compete with ...  Read the complete review
