Hey Stephen, try doing a few frames with Jimmy you'll easily smash 1 million views with the whirlwind.
Wow that cue story is amazing winning the greatest prize in both the amateur and professional game with it and still have it to this day
I used to play snooker with a highly talented snooker player called Alan Thompson who was Irish and used to play with Ken Doherty.
Thoroughly enjoyed; best episode yet.
What a top bloke Ken seems. Could listen to his stories all day
Agh this is wonderful, charming man is Ken.
£2 for me cue had it me whole career – think I was robbed
😂 classic
Ken is on to something.
Cue Tips live streams on matches, with Stephen and another pro/s from his own studio.
No bland, vanilla, PC commentary – just unfiltered professional opinion.
Fantastic stories from Ken and a great ambassador for snooker.
85 break while chatting
That rest shot hendrys face he couldn't believe how well Ken hit that. Perfect on the blue
Got to meet Ken and play a frame with Jimmy White in Kerry a few months back, top notch guy. Plenty time for everyone 👏
But……is anyone gonna mention the fact that ken pot a brown and then the blue after in the middle of that break 😂😂😂
Can anybody tell what is the Best CUE TIP Type Pro used ?
Classy break from a classy man
Could listen to Ken yarn all day.
Best video so far!! Ken is so likable and great stories. I could listen Ken all day. I was lucky enough to see him play in his prime, shame he didnt win more worlds
Yessssssss
Legend has it Ken unfortunately caused criminal damage to the metal bin when he fell and hurt it. To this day that metal bin is still burning.
Ken is one of the funniest at telling stories! Well done for having him on
Brilliant guy's ✌️🍀
Interesting thumb position of the hand holding the cue at 3:15 🤔
Best episode yet!!
Ken the legend…what a seanchaí,could listen to him all day…..
Love how Hendo is always happy to talk about his defeats. Very humble guy. Love these shows
Fantastic video chaps.
Love two legends chat up and hope more on the way
14:35 The music Ken is thinking of is Black and White Rag by George Botsford; which is the Pot Black Theme.
I like Ken, good bloke and a cracking player. Nice one Steve 👍
I think Stephen nails it towards the end where he says he can't just play "for fun" or "a day out" .. he still thinks he should be beating everyone. It was that mentality that made him arguably the GOAT (and I'd say for sure in the top 2!), but it means he just can do now what Jimmy and Ken do. You could argue that Ronnie's longevity is also because he had spells where he couldn't really be bothered/focused, whereas Stephen /always/ cared. Stephen is built to win, and if he's not winning he can't be happy, and why spoil a legacy? I think it's probably for the best .. it's just not the same when a legend goes on beyond that period when they're winning (consistently) … bow out while the crowd still want more.
Love Ken, he always seems happy
The Alex Higgins stories are gold haha
ken is a natural storyteller
Anyone realise that Ken potted a brown told the story about the police chief then potted blue 😂
copyright music? making the audio weird?
Ken is a irish legend
Two Legends. Mr Doherty is such a wholesome storyteller and a proper lad too.
Seen Ken at an exhibition about 10 years ago, casually rolled in a 147 that night with John Virgo on the mic cracking jokes. I do like Ken, absolute legend and humble guy
Knocking in 85 whilst being interviewed? 😂😂😂
