My prediction:
This young lad might end up with the most ranking and major titles in snooker history
34 years years ago i was 26 , Ronnie was 14. My wasted life but he become the most successful player in snooker history 👍
At that time , Judd Trump didn't exist 💀
You can see how far video format has come since then.
Congratulations to Ronnie Snr for nurturing Ronnie's talent no matter what it cost. As a kid, his dad decided to move house to a place where he could build a proper snooker room, with a full size table. He paid a man £200 per week plus a car to look after Ronnie and take him all over the country playing amateur tournements. He loved his son and knew he had a major talent.
7 Times a champion of the world but that doesn't even matter. What matters is that he is still playing and when he does, nothing else matters. He loves to put on a show and we enjoy every single moment of it.
I wonder if anyone guessed back then they were seeing the makings of a god.
Same voice as now!
34 later… the goat is still here and doing great
Not sure he would play for 2500 / 5000 £ though
Amazing, the focus and the speed already there…
I wonder what happened to him, he faded away
You can see the ADHD in him
Paolo Dybala??))
I bet on him he will become one of the best ever in the game for sure
11:16 am i not getting something ?
What a dad. Chip off the ol' block.
How amazing!
and now snooker is recognized by this 14 years old guy ❤ all around the world 🌎
GOAT
Excelente video. O'Sullivan sólo ha cambiado para mejorar cada vez más y sus triunfos son muy merecidos. Gracias por el video.
Knocks in a cheeky 75 🤪
Wow
6:37 the commentator John said "well this is the first time I've every seen this young man Steve and already I'm totally impressed" then at 7:44 John says "and tremendous cue power this young lad has got" definitely an understatement then at 9:45 "obviously a name for the future" says Steve Davis! Another understatement! Then 14 year old Ronnie finishes a 75 break against a 24 year old opponent Steve Ventham. Also this started with 2000 snooker players from 125 clubs ending in 8 players left to play. A great achievement to get to the last 8. 👏 Ronnie was playing quick even at 14. I wonder what age Ronnie was when he started playing left handed too. Great to watch back 34 years later! 👍
He looked cocky and arrogant back then.. not changed at all since 😂
Happy Birthday!!! Hope you have a Rockin great Day!!!🫶💜💜💜💜💜💜✌️🤘😉🌹
so handsome he was
14 and 6 weeks, that's 13 and a bit, Stunning.
Now, where have I seen him before??
That O'Sullivan lad appears to be going places! I predict a mighty career ahead for him. Might even become World Champion someday!
