  • You've been asking every single week for Neal Foulds, well today is the day. Neal and Stephen have an in depth chat around the Champion of Champions venue in Bolton. They talk all things snooker including Neal's letter from Stephen mum, playing a young Jimmy White and why Neal can't get away with some of the stuff Stephen does in their respective TV roles. As you'll likely know, Neal doesn't pick up a cue anymore so this is a bit of a different video, we hope you enjoy it!

    I played neal in around 1984 at neasden , ron gross snooker centre .
    I left my chalk on the table , he went to play his shot and swiped my chalk off the able with his cue quickly told me that not snooker etiquette to leave it there .
    He gave me 70 start and beat me 👍.
    Have so many stories from that era , Jimmy used to come down there , especially when Benson and hedges masters was on at Wembley and take loads of money off the owner .
    I think Jimmy gave Ron gross a 14 start .
    Ron gross was amateur champion on the late 50s if i remember.
    Great memories , great times .
    The whole club backed neale to beat Alex Higgins in his first world championship , and neale duly obliged
    He was big odds too as a rookie .
    Too many other stories that i cant tell on here 😂.
    Neale is a great commentator now .
    Like stephen said " The best "

      Ron was world champ I believe in the late 50s. I had great times in his club. So much money changing hands. He had great knowledge of the game and played some amazing snookers/tactical shots. Good times!

    Brilliant Channel. I would love to see a four some with Jimmy, Ronnie, Steve Davis and Steven Hendry. Best of five frames. Now that would be a classic and a good laugh.

    Great interview. I still remember the days when Neal Foulds did commentary on Stephen Hendry's matches, e.g. vs. Ryan Day in 2008 as well as John Higgins and Stephen Maguire in 2012. I note that people who say that Hendry retired too early tend to refer to that superb first session and 147 against Stuart Bingham but to overlook the bad middle session vs. Higgins and the drubbing vs. Maguire. I felt that those performances at 2012 WSC showed that championship winning form was still in there but that the ability to consistently produce it in a match had gone.

    Neil is a top bloke and without trying extremely funny love listening to his commentary and knowledge of the game which is first class, also Stephen with his blunt comments when players miss or play bad shots and when your a seven time world champion you sort of have gained the right to give an honest opinion.

    Fouldsy is a fantastic pundit. No ego whatsoever. Him and McManus are at the top of the tree. Hendry and Davis command instant respect. It’s also good to have the modern players on sometimes as well because they can see the game differently

    Lovely video - many thanks to Stephen. I was sad to hear that someone disliked Neal's commentary because he didn't win as many tournaments as some of the people he's talking about - about from his logical argument that on that basis only Hendry could talk about O'Sullivan, and so on, there's the obvious fact that it's possible to know and express a lot about how something is done without being able to do it. Neal is absolutely my favourite commentator (in a crowded field) - witty, knowledgeable, fair-minded and very tactful. with a wonderfully natural way with words: who can forget his 'both arms available' comment?

    I remember watching a snooker match when neal foulds and this other guy who i really like listening to started talking about a place called pottingham, or puttingham. Totally awesome moment, when two great commentators sidetrack for a little while.
    I like this other guys voice and commentating so much, i decided to never google his face. I think his name is phil, and he is funny and has the best memory ever.
    Neal foulds is great!
