2002 was a great tournament I agree

Hendry beat Doherty 13-12 after taking a really risky black

Ronnie and Lee had a great match

Ronnie and Hendry semi was overshadowed by Ronnie's comments before the match

Final was really tense, Ebdon deserved to sneak it, was expecting the biggest "C'mon" of all time and was a bit disappointed when he just stayed quiet after he won

The first I remember was 86 & Joe Johnson, 1990 was a classis with the top 4 playing in the semi's, remember as a 15 year old squeeling in delight that Jimmy finally beay Davis... Only to Co go yo against his second nemesis.. Loads of others, but 2004 where the long haired Ronnie was unplayable, that semi against Hendry..

Yes the 1990 final was weird, Hendry played like a veteran and he was only 21.

Ronnie with the long hair in 2004 vs Hendry. I remember the end of the 2nd session and it was 13-3 I think. It was amazing.

Yes, in the final Ronnie was 5-0 down, even then it was never in doubt..

Still have to wait a while for Ding v Trump. Can already envisage the winner of this playing Robertson in the final..............
Just hope it is Ding

1994- I was only 5 and a Stephen Hendry fan, I only really remember the last few frames, I thought Hendry was going to lose, Jimmy missed that black and Hendry makes a good clearence, I was delighted, probably one of the greatest Crucible finals.

1999- Hendry had been in poor form last few seasons, it looked like it was the end of the great Stephen Hendry but he came back and played unbelievable snooker and looked back to his best to clinch his 7th world title.

2003- I always remember this Champonship as Ken Doherty being the comeback king, the semi final was the most dramatic, 15-9 down to Paul Hunter and ends up winning 17-16. I really did feel so bad for Hunter as I wanted him to win it as soon as Hendry went out. Ken then did well in the final, he was 10-2 down, then it got to 16-16 but Mark Wiliams did well to get over the line, he had a great season as he won the triple crown in the same season.

2008- Crazy championship where there were 2 maximums breaks. One by Ronnie and then the other from Ali Carter, both would meet in the final. Hendry did well to get to the semis but was hammered by Ronnie, similar to 2004.

2018- Great final between 2 players in there 40's no one could have imagined Mark Williams getting back to his best, John Higgins fought so hard to get the match back to 15-15, Mark then looked like he had match won but somehow missed a frame ball pink, He then held his nerve to win 18-16.


2019- Record breaking centuries, Judd Trump making 7 in the final and in devastating form. Okay this is mainly for Judd Trump fans though!

You can tell, no mention of Ronnie with his 5 min 147, or any of his 5 World titles, hardly surprising though 😂🌍
