🎱 **Snooker Legends Spill the Beans! 🎱**
Who knew snooker legends could be so chatty? Stephen Hendry recently spilled the tea on his private chats with fellow snooker icon Steve Davis. Once fierce rivals, the duo now share gossip and giggles as BBC pundits.
Back in the day, Davis was the undisputed king of snooker, dominating the 80s with six World Championship titles. Fast forward to the 90s, and Hendry swooped in, taking snooker by storm and nabbing one more world title than his idol. The rivalry wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows, as Davis once admitted resentment after a tough 1990 UK Championship loss to Hendry.
But time changes everything! The two have bonded over their careers, transforming from competitors to colleagues and friends. “We’d sometimes spend time slagging off other players,” Hendry shared, adding that it was all in good humour, showcasing Davis’s dry wit.
Hendry once marvelled at Davis’s aura and discipline, saying, “Steve didn’t speak to anyone. I remember thinking, I’d really like to be talked about like that one day.”
Now, Davis acknowledges Hendry’s unique journey. “One minute I had all the sweets… the next minute they were spilled on the floor, and Stephen had them all,” Davis joked. He even credited Hendry for handling the rise of new talents like Ronnie O’Sullivan and John Higgins better than he did during his transition.
From silent nods in the corridor to sharing laughs over snooker gossip, this iconic duo shows that even the fiercest rivals can end up on the same side. 😄❤️
