These three all revolutionised the sport in a some way, no other players can really be said to have done that.

Well, obviously Joe Davis in his time. In terms of playing strength I think Steve Davis was quite some distance behind many who have followed him, but he raised the standard more than they did.


Ultimately we can only judge players within their own time period. It's not really fair to compare different generations.

Ronnie O’Sullivan. Personally I think he overtook Hendry after winning his fifth World Championship in 2013, but he’s definitely cemented his place in recent years.
