Answer 2

I do have a preferance for Stephen Hendry, i'd say that the journey between him and White in the 1994 international Championship is a good determination for nice journey because White develop into truly triumphing in the starting up, yet after dropping some in the middle matches, White develop into feeling the rigidity and choking aganist Hendry. Hendry had an iron will and metal nerves. He had not elementary photos close to the black ball section to proceed his run and he preform large lower than pressure, lengthy photos, large position, capturing over a ball some cases. Steve Davis is a good determination too, he develop right into a dominant participant for type of 10 years i imagine, yet Hendry got here alongside and began his dominance for the subsequent 10 years even as Davis develop into placing out to bypass his suitable. Ronnie might want to be very last in this list even even with the actuality that he can run the table very instantly, seems very comfortable and particularly even journey with Hendry in his suitable yet not in any respect attain the fulfillment that Hendry had.

Answer 3

In my opinion....Fred davis was the best...many a time I would watch him whilst munching on a pickled egg and supping me stout down the Pig and Whistle..He could teach the youngsters of today a thing or 2...When I was young we didnt have snooker cues we had to stick matches together and the snooker table was the floor of grandads shed which we painted green..not with real paint mind you..we crushed grass cutting to make a stain...the pockets were actually old snail shells and the snooker balls were rolled up balls of mud which we dried using our hot, hot breath....We had to imagine colour back then as we couldnt afford it...We had to make do with a black and white world....Zzzzzzzzzzz

Answer 4

Joe Davis because he was unbeatable
In the modern era Jimmy White although Ronnie Sullivan(sos about spelling) is a true master, who else can play left and right handed?
Alex Higgins was a breath of fresh air in the 70's - 80's(Hope he's OK) and Ray Reardon, John Spencer and Cliff thorburn also were great.
Don't forget Kirk Stevens though, if it wasn't for nose candy how good would he have been?

Answer 5

Steve Davis. He totally dominated snooker in the 1980s and even now he is still competing at the highest level.

Answer 6

steve interesting davis ,he completly changed the face of snooker in the 80s,and without him snooker would not be in the position its in now, and he is still playing at a very high standard today

Answer 7

In my opinion it has to be Stephen Hendry.

7 World Championship titles speak for themselves.

(Joe Davis may have won more, but there were far fewer top-class players in those days so it doesn't mean as much anymore)

Answer 8

that's a hard question Ronnie is just a pure talented player who takes chances and make the game a whole lot more interesting to watch, while Jimmy White was the best of the best in his prime which lasted for so many years..i can't decide so i cheat and pick the both of them

Answer 9

Answer 10

It has to be Joe Davis, the guy was world champion for about 20 years straight in the first half of the 20th century
