He's a class guy - me and my mate were playing pool in a pub in York a couple of years ago, and he randomly came walking out from the toilets, right past the pool table. He must have seen the surprised look on both our faces, 'cos as he came past he said "how's it going, lads" and held up both fists for a bump, and just a quick friendly chat before he headed on his way onto the street. Nice bloke
I never watched Snooker in my entire life up until 6 months ago. Now I can't seem to get enough. I enjoy watching the old matches with a young Mr. Hendry and the newer matches with the up and coming players. Stephen appears to be having more fun doing these videos than he did when he was practically unbeatable. Keep the videos coming, if not just for me!! 🙂
Ken is such a lovely, friendly man and I really enjoy his commentary! And it's true, he doesn't age a day ...would so love to see him make a comeback and win again !
Used to meet Ken regularly in Ranelagh in Dublin where he’s from. Really nice guy, had time for everyone for a chat and said hello to everyone. Even got to knock a few balls around with him in the club, Jason’s, where he learned his trade. That was a great club, pity like most clubs they have closed down. Top man Ken 👍🏻
Love cue tips.... I was named after the snooker club Ken played in as a kid calls Jason's... my dad went there the night before he was married and swore he'd call his first son Jason... called me Jason... true story
I strongly feel that the next officially licensed snooker game should have this either at launch, as it could definitely help newer players with aiming and positional shots.
Ken's such a nice fella, seems like a very cool guy to get a pint with. I was really rooting for him to make at least 50 on the tough table challenge, but alas.
These Tough Table Challenges just show how concentrated the players are during tournaments as they miss some relatively simple shots with no real pressure on them...
Love Ken, wish he'd not beaten Paul Hunter at the Crucible that time being form near Leeds myself but you can't have em all. Good effort on the tough table, great player, grew up watching him, lovely to see him looking well!
Love Ken. During the first lockdown my brother and I watched a lot of old snooker and made up that Ken used to fart on his hand and shake people’s hands so we always refer to him as farty hand Ken and no one else knows where it came from
Ken's laugh has to be the most infectious in all of snooker... Such a great personality and ambassador of the sport.
Yes Ken has always been a class act both him and Jack Lisowski are super friendly and nice
I agree. His sense of humour is brilliant too.
Agreed. Bless him. And what a show this is. Keep it up Stephen & co it has rejuvenated my interest for Snooker and I am sure for many others too
Ken's way of splitting the reds off the black will be the new meta in this challenge
Last plyr did the same (i cant recall who) but they prefer earning breaks then clearing, hence they favor the shot more than the sides red
"You had a tough paper round" Is a great line! Thanks, Ken.
“Is that a Dyson hoover you have there, is it?”
Classic Ken 😂😂
She didnt clock on bless her
🤣🤣🤣
Ken's laugh. He's like a male Barbara Windsor
He could do a Carry On remake with Daniel Craig as Sid James.
No he isn't
"we just have to take your word for that" 😂😂
The more I see Ken the more I like him. Thanks.

Ken has such a great sense of humour. Always makes you laugh
Crafty Ken earning his nickname on the Tough Table. Nice to see the friendship between these two legends 😊
me too I love to see Stephen and Ken together or Stephen and Steve Davis
Love this series. Great content.
This channel is growing quicker than my grandpa's ears!
Let's face it, there was only one person in that video who was likely to clean up. The lady with the vacuum cleaner!
Brilliant 👏👏
Kyren, is that you?
😂😂
“Is that a Dyson Hoover you have there is it?” 😂😂😂
Love how he keeps saying "John!" lmaoo
He's in the comm box with Mr Virgo!
@@stevemawer848 yeah ik that's what he's referring to, it's jokes hahaha
Wonder would JV come on to this channel

Do you play now?
No@@JohnJaySnookerChannel
Ken and Stephen, such a treat
Ken is a great snooker player and one of the greatest snooker commentator for sure.
Stephen always sounds so sincere when commiserating with the latest player to fail to beat his score, lol!
Haha especially since we all know that must have been fake 😅
@@D_B_Cooperperhaps not fake… but how many attempts did he have? 😉
Great video and had me laughing. Very relaxed style, which makes these so watchable.
Love that idea of splitting the reds
Dunno how much Stephen paid that cleaner but it was worth even penny
Two absolute legends of the sport, love you both, so fortunate to have you in the commentary box
i never realised until he said, but yeah, ken doesnt age.
Could listen to these guys bantering all day. Love this channel!
6:43
…“You had a tough paper round”…
😂
Ken is such a lovely, friendly man and I really enjoy his commentary! And it's true, he doesn't age a day ...would so love to see him make a comeback and win again !
Always great to see Ken and I really liked how he went at the table for this one.
Ken Doherty, Great snooker player, Great personality and all round top bloke.😃
Well said
All with a £2.00 cue!
I love how funny he thought his line of “in the sock drawer” was. 😂😂
Brilliant post, who couldn’t like these two great ambassadors for snooker
his own commentary is hilarious! I love this channel so much! Watching from Western Australia! Thank you Stephen Hendry!
It’s a great channel
Notice how when they do their own commentary, they all speak to John Virgo
He won't be happy with that, John!
Clever Ken. Another super video by SH. 👏
Used to meet Ken regularly in Ranelagh in Dublin where he’s from. Really nice guy, had time for everyone for a chat and said hello to everyone. Even got to knock a few balls around with him in the club, Jason’s, where he learned his trade. That was a great club, pity like most clubs they have closed down. Top man Ken 👍🏻
I guarantee that Stephen is loving still being at the top of the leaderboard. Winners always want to win.
Tough table challenge is my favourite video you put out get excited every time u post one 🤣
'rolled off'... 🤣🤣
Love wee Keno
Having a bit of patter with the woman hoovering 😆 Brilliant
Gotta love this channel.. very entertaining, some fun snooker, better than the o es that only show boring long frames of snooker!!
love Ken's laugh :D
Love cue tips.... I was named after the snooker club Ken played in as a kid calls Jason's... my dad went there the night before he was married and swore he'd call his first son Jason... called me Jason... true story
That’s a mad story man! I used to play in Jason’s a lot. Never thought of calling my son that though 😂 where in Dublin do you play now?
Need to add extra cut chat to these videos to disguise the length. Being only 7 minutes tells us that the break was nothing big...
Ken should have on the board in brackets (Hoover Distraction)
We've got the girl hoovering in the background 😅😅😅 so funny man
Great vid lads.. always loved Ken .. keep up the good work Stephen .. ur my hero and this channel is superb
Brilliant... These two are great craick
Great lads Ken & Stephen
As always enjoyed it Cheers
love a dyson hoover. like a audi bmw or a casio rolex
lolololololool good point
ahh c'mon, give him a break, everyone knows "hoove" is a verb now :)
Watching this now.. willing him on!!
Love Ken so down to earth
I strongly feel that the next officially licensed snooker game should have this either at launch, as it could definitely help newer players with aiming and positional shots.
Ken is such a fun dude. I’ll be having a Guinness in that bar on Union street
Ken's such a nice fella, seems like a very cool guy to get a pint with. I was really rooting for him to make at least 50 on the tough table challenge, but alas.
It'd be great if you can get Wattana to do this I love you both
Gas man Ken, great crack, love the laugh.
Excellent video
Should of asked the cleaner to clean a few up for ya Ken 😂
Love your videos sir... ❤️
Despicable. What chance did Ken have of clearing the table with a vacuum humming in the background.
Legends
Knew it wouldn't be a big break when its a 7min video
Brilliant
what a great bloke
literally how does he never age
He's obviously mates with Professor Brian Cox!
I love KD, and his attitude keeps him young.
I like the way the cleaning lady persisted.
Brilliant channel Stephen keep up the great work,Ken is a gent
Honest answers only...how many tries did you get, Stephen?
What a genuine top bloke Ken is. Bet he’d make a great practice partner.
Mmmm... Cheese and Onion. My respect for Ken has increased 100 fold
4:07 "Is that a Dyson Hoover you have there?" Erm... probably not, mate... 🤣
Ken's a Vampire that's why he never ages
ma two favourite players when the game was still interesting !!!
Funny and entertaining 🤭
These Tough Table Challenges just show how concentrated the players are during tournaments as they miss some relatively simple shots with no real pressure on them...
yeah ken is the don my fav player, nice and funny great guy
Love them
Again nice video stephen can't wait tough table challenge of Ronnie O'Sullivan ❤❤❤
I think Ronnie is in focus mode for World Championship right now.
@@reav3rtm ya ya i love Ronnie though i also play snooker my dream to play on world snooker as well as with ronnie
Love Ken, wish he'd not beaten Paul Hunter at the Crucible that time being form near Leeds myself but you can't have em all. Good effort on the tough table, great player, grew up watching him, lovely to see him looking well!
LOVE THIS!
5:11 mark, is where i most rewound this video. Ken, when asked "Higgins or White?" responds with such emotion and appreciation for his hero
Love Ken. During the first lockdown my brother and I watched a lot of old snooker and made up that Ken used to fart on his hand and shake people’s hands so we always refer to him as farty hand Ken and no one else knows where it came from
Stephen Henry is my favorite snooker player,absolute legend
Question:do you think you will ever do a video with Ronnie O'Sullivan
He was in a video with Ronnie at the start of this channel if I'm not mistaken?
@@paulkelly1169 I mean play a frame or two
@@charf9562 ah yes that will have to happen down the line
"Hendry"
@@adrianwright8685 spelling mistake
Oh yes - good fun!
Life always has ways of keeping egos in check.
Say goodnight, JV... 😉
Speed challenge?
Love Ken Doherty's laugh 😁
John Virgo has a catchphrase nobody of a certain age will forget
We’res that cueball going? Lol I think everyone says it when playing and the white looks like it’s rolling in off 😂
Ken’s stun throughs are lovely
Ken won the World title in 1997 and in 1998 nearly won again beating the cruicible curse
Ken never ages just seen a video of him Stephen and mark William's from the 90s and he looked 50 then 😂
One of my favourites is Ken.
Ken needed a Dyson to help him clear up!
I don't know how Dyson and/or Hoover will feel about that 🤣
How many takes were needed to set your own (hi)score?
Ken's so fun hahahahaahah
