Snooker career

Amateur years (1981-1985)

Hendry started playing snooker in 1981, aged 12. Two years later he won the National U-16 Championship. He also appeared on BBC's Junior version of Pot Black. The following year he won the Scottish Amateur Championship and also became the youngest ever entrant in the World Amateur Championship. In 1985, after retaining the Scottish Amateur Championship, he turned professional. At 16 years and three months old he was youngest ever professional. For other uses, see BBC (disambiguation). ...

Professional career (1986-1988)

In his first season he reached the last 32 in the Mercantile Credit Classic and was the youngest ever Scottish Professional champion. In the next season he retained that title and reached the quarter-finals of both the Grand Prix and World Championship, and the semi-finals of the Mercantile Credit Classic. Hendry and Mike Hallett combined to win that year's World Doubles Championship. In 1987/88 Hendry won his first world ranking titles, the Grand Prix and the British Open. He also claimed three other tournament victories, retaining both the Scottish Professional Championship and the World Doubles Championship (with Hallett), and the Australian Masters.

Glory years (1989-1999)

The 1989/1990 season saw the beginning of Hendry's period of dominance. That year he won the UK Championship, Dubai Classic, Asian Open, Scottish Masters, Wembley Masters and his first World Championship. This saw him rise to the summit of the World Rankings at the age of 21. The following season he set a record of five world ranking titles in a season and recorded a hat-trick of Masters. In 1991/92 Hendry regained the World title, adding to the victories in both the Grand Prix and the Welsh Open. He won the Masters, too, and achieved his first competitive 147 break, in the Matchroom League. A year later he retained both his World Championship title and a fifth consecutive Masters crown.

In 1994/95, after being awarded an MBE, he won three ranking events, including another World crown and the UK Championship, both of which were retained the following year. His run of successes continued in 1995/96 with three titles, including the World Championship, where an 18-12 victory in the final against Peter Ebdon saw him equal the achievement of Ray Reardon and Steve Davis by notching up a sixth World crown. In 1997 he won BBC Scotland Sports Personality of the Year award for a second time and added another three ranking titles to his collection, although Ken Doherty denied him a sixth consecutive World championship by defeating the Scot 18-12 in the final.

Hendry's dominant position in snooker appeared to be on the wane, as the only ranking event he won in the 1997/98 season was the Thailand Masters. He also lost his World no. 1 place for the first time since 1990 and was eliminated in the first round of the World Championship, losing heavily to White (4-10). 1998/99 began with an embarrassing 0-9 first-round loss in the UK Championship to unseeded Marcus Campbell. However, a resurgent Hendry won the last two events in the campaign - the Scottish Open and a record seventh World title. After beating Ronnie O'Sullivan 17-14 in their semi-final, which featured a total of thirteen century breaks, he emerged as a convincing 18-11 winner over future double World Champion Mark J. Williams. This is Hendry's last World Championship title. Since then he has won only five titles but has never dropped out of the Top 16 in the rankings.

Recent years (1999-present)

In 1999/2000 he lifted one ranking title, the British Open, where he made the fifth 147 break of his career and the first maximum in a ranking final. By Hendry's high standards the 2000/2001 season was a disappointment, as he failed to win a ranking event for the first time since 1988 season and reached only one final. Still he won the European Open the next season and came close to an eighth World Championship. Having eliminated defending champion O'Sullivan in the semi-finals (17-13), he lost narrowly to Peter Ebdon in the final (17-18). The Welsh Open in 2002/2003 and British Open in 2003/2004 came his way, with his victory in the Malta Cup of 2005 being his most recent ranking success. However, Hendry regained the world no. 1 position in 2005/2006 due to consistency in reaching the latter stages of tournaments without, by his own admission, reproducing his form of old.[2] He is now ranked World number eight.

Hendry's other career records include: total ranking titles, consecutive wins of a single tournament, total tournament wins in one season, longest consecutive winning streak (in ranking events), most centuries compiled in one match, most centuries compiled in one tournament, most career centuries and total prize money. Until April 2008 he jointly held the record for most 147s compiled in competitive play (8) with O'Sullivan, who equalled him in late 2007 and took the record from him during the 2008 world championships[3]. He currently jointly holds with Davis the record for the longest unbroken streak as a top-16 player (20 seasons). Hendry has won 65 professional titles (not including his three Scottish Professional titles). This puts him second on the all-time list of professional championships won behind Steve Davis' 73.[4] In all, Hendry has won 79 titles (68 professional and 11 amateur).


Playing style

Hendry tends to play at a steady pace. He often uses the now universal tactic of potting the blue with pace and heavy backspin on the white ball to cannon into the pack of reds and develop them for break-building.[citation needed] Aside from his break-building consistency, Hendry's ability at long potting was crucial to his success, as was his knack of potting balls in the middle pocket during a break. Throughout his career he has played very aggressively, more often than not attempting quite difficult pots and trying to break open the reds early in a break rather than waiting until all open reds have been potted. In this way he has compiled more than 700 competitive century breaks.[5] However, as the standard of his break-building and long potting have declined a little, his aggressive instincts have given his opponents more opportunities than used to be the case.


Personal life

Hendry was brought up in Fife, where he attended Inverkeithing High School. He now lives in the small town of Auchterarder with his wife Mandy, whom he married in 1995, and sons Blaine (born 1996) and Carter (born 2004). He lives close to the Gleneagles and has a single-figure golf handicap. He enjoys poker and is one of the few snooker players who has appeared in a televised poker tournament. Hendry is also keenly interested in football and music, supporting Scottish side Hearts. Musically, he likes both U2 and Suede.[clarify] This article is about the area in Scotland. ...

Suede (or The London Suede in the U.S.) were a popular and influential English rock band of the 1990s that helped start the Britpop musical movement of the decade. ...


When returning to Scotland from the Thailand Open in September 2003, Hendry had his cue broken. The cue, which he had owned since he was aged 14 and had cost him £40, had been used when winning his 7 world titles.[6] Since the 11 September 2001 attacks, snooker players have been required to put their cues in the holds of airplanes, where they are susceptible to damage.[7] A cue stick A cue stick or simply cue, is an item of sporting equipment essential to the games of billiards, pool and snooker. ...

Stephen Hendry was also rated as the greatest player of all time in a book by Luke Williams and Paul Gadsby titled "Master of the Baize". He finished above Joe Davis, Steve Davis, Alex Higgins and Ronnie O'Sullivan who were the others in the authors top five.[8]
