  • 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 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 .

    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 had to look up what happened with Neal's dad, saw he refused to give up being chairman and director of the WPBSA, after a vote of no conference, led by 5 players, including Stephen Hendry😂 Nice to see it looks like that's all water under the bridge now, I hope Geoff still enjoys watching the snooker.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Must admit, never had much time for him as a commentator, but now I have the utmost respect.

    WOW !!! - That 20 minutes just flew by !!!! - Love neal and his Dad was a very good player in his day, along with Patsy Houlihan, Ray Reardon and John Spencer (before they turned pro) - Back in his Dad's day the amateur game was better than the pros

    Would love to see a regular couple of frames but with the older players who have faded from the public eye, like Neal or Kirk Stevens, Tony Meo, Tony Knowles, the big names from yesteryear, hear their story and see if they still have it

    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.

    Neal Foulds was a great player in his day. Slipped down in 90s but good player to watch and had plenty of very good victories. His punditry is second to none. Good to have him on ITV events or the 900.

    • @sharpvidtube
      @sharpvidtube Před 7 měsíci

      Neal was one of several players that took beta-blockers. Nothing wrong with that, as they weren't banned, but when a ban came in, a lot of players slipped down the rankings. Shame it doesn't get talked about now, I'd love to hear the full story, but I guess people are too judgmental, so maybe its best swept under the carpet? I'd love to know what other players took beta-blockers, I have a hunch that some that were far more successful than Neal used them, but nobody would talk about that.
