Season 2, Episode 3: Stephen Hendry, World Snooker Champion
Description
This week's guest will need little introduction to millions of fans around the world. He burst onto the hugely popular snooker scene in the late 80's; a rail-thin, gawky Scottish kid who took on all comers and had no fear. Within a few short years, he stood above them all, a formidable opponent with an iron will. He went on to win no less than seven World Championship titles and held the world number one spot for a record nine years. He joins Nick inbetween commentary sessions on the latest lockdown tournament in Milton Keynes to describe this tumultuous early time in his life; how the red tops tried to trick him; how he was happy to shy away from being pally pally with other players; how he slipped seamlessly from renowned player to a pool ambassador, criss-crossing China; and of how he likes to relax with a good cigar at the end of the day. Happy Friday, folks.
