Were you always a Hendry fan when he started dominating the game at the beggining of the 90s? I ask this because sometimes fans of legends of the game were not always fans of them because I know for instance a lot weren't fans of Steve Davis when he was dominating the game, there is sometimes that feeling that if a player starts dominating the sport like Davis or Hendry did in some fans "view" it becomes dull and boring and they want to see more variety. Only when their past their peak do some fans realise the greatness of the things they achieve, so having said all this were you always a Hendry fan or a bit later in his career?
i know that question wasent for me but in early 90s i was a Jimmy White fan and wanted him to win the 1990 and 1992 final against Hendry but the way Hendry came back in 1992 to beat Jimmy that's when i became a Stephen Hendry fan.
he was a awesome player.

Scott Donaldson v Ding Junhui
Judd Trump v John Higgins
Wow,3 Scots still in it.I used to quite like Ding but since he,s got a chance to equal Hendrys record of winnin 5 titles in a season,i obviously want the shrimp to lose.
Would be crackin if auld John could beat Trump today,it,s high time that he pulled out some wizardy again.
Walker has had a brilliant run by his standards but i,m sure Maguire will end it.

That's a record that will be broken soon enough anyway with all the tourneys in a season.

I think all players prefer playing Ronnie over a short format

Doesn't really take any risks and relies on safety to get in more often. Just has better positional play so breaks down less.

It's just you. Ronnie plays nothing like Selby.

Just saying, when he's faced with a tough pot or a safety he goes for the safety more often than not these days.
