🎱 Snooker legends collide! 🎱
Stephen Hendry spills the beans on his admiration for Welsh snooker icon Mark Williams, dubbing him his “hero” in a chat with darts legend Phil Taylor. Despite their fierce rivalry back in the day, Hendry can’t help but praise Williams for his incredible career and carefree attitude.
Mark Williams, a three-time World Champion from Cwm near Ebbw Vale, still dazzles on the snooker table. Williams came close to becoming the oldest world champ in history this year, just shy of snatching the record from Ronnie O’Sullivan. 🏆
On Hendry’s YouTube channel, he and Taylor shared a game of snooker, swapping stories of their sporting triumphs. Hendry cheekily admitted that Williams is annoyingly good at everything, even darts! 🎯 Taylor chimed in, saying, “He’s had a good couple of years. I’ve enjoyed watching him.”
Hendry, who achieved perfection with seven world titles in the ’90s, isn’t shy to admit Williams’ brilliance. He ranks him closely behind O’Sullivan in all-time greatness. “Honestly, the way he plays without a care is amazing. I couldn’t do it!” Hendry gushes.
The former rivals now share a strong bond, often playing golf together. Williams’ legacy boasts over 600 century breaks and two maximums, making him the first left-handed World Champ—a true snooker marvel. 💥
