If the greatest comedian ever was still alive he would remember Jimmy! In this clip he is referring to Hendry and White (the same 2 guys)!

Can Robertson overtake Higgins without a second World Title?

No.
The list should exclusively mirror world titles won.

The GOAT argument will never end.
Nevermind break, if he ties Hendry's 7 people will say that. For me its even more impressive if he won a further 2 in his 40s.

No, that would be something a special-needs person would do, God love ‘em.

After The World Championships I will draft up a 'Vodkadiet's top 10 players of all time list' and it will be more accurate.

Ah, so you admit that Hendry should in fact be 4th.
Very magnanimous of you.

I've seen that.
Apparently Bill was controlled opposition according to some, like Alex Jones is now.

If only Hicks was still alive today to oversee Trump's reign. That would have been something to behold!

I wore my Bill Hicks t-shirt yesterday, in honour of your post.

I enjoy listening to Hicks as well. He got a lot of his ideas from Terence McKenna. I think Lenny Bruce was also a big influence.

I got it when I attended the 25th anniversary celebrations. It's this one, as worn here by Matt Harlock who organised the event and Steve Hicks, Bill's brother, who I met and exchange occasional messages with.
Sorry Pinkie. Well off-topic at this point. This thread will run and run though!

It's not just 3 opinions, 90% of the snooker pundits and players think ROS is the GOAT now, probably even Hendry himself, although he won't admit that publicly. But u can see the way he has changed his attitude in recent years. A few years ago, when asked who'd win between him and ROS, both at his best, he used to say himself without any hesitation. Now, he says it's too hard to call. Given Hendry's personality, that's basically an admittance that ROS is superior, although his ego prevents him from admitting it out loud.
Had Hendry started his career at the same time as the class of 92, he wouldn't have won 7 WC.
