Snooker Star Stephen Hendry in Southport
Captured in Southport today (Friday 7th February 2014) was “The Golden Boy” of snooker, Stephen Hendry.
The seven times World Champion was visiting his old mate Les Dodd for a few frames of snooker.
Hendry became the youngest professional snooker player in 1985 aged 15 and, in 1990, he was the youngest-ever snooker World Champion, at the age of 21.
He has won the World Championship seven times, a record in the modern era, and was snooker’s world number one for eight consecutive years between 1990 and 1998, and again in 2006/2007.
Hendry has the distinction of holding the most world ranking titles (36) and leads the field of snooker players with 775 competitive century breaks.
He also holds the record with Ronnie O’Sullivan for the most competitive maximum breaks, with 11.
In May 2012 he retired from the sport to concentrate on his commercial interests, although he remains a commentator for BBC Snooker.
