For me Ronnie is the greatest champion in the history of professional sports! At 48 years of age today (April 2024, he’s currently the World No 1, something he first achieved in 2002, a staggering 22 years ago! Name or show me any professional sports person who can say that! Since turning professional in 1992 he’s won more Major titles than anyone (23), more ranking titles than anyone (41). He’s the youngest ever to win a Major title (1995) and currently the oldest to win a Major title, a mind boggling 29 year difference! He’s achieved well over 1200 century breaks, (the only one to surpass 1000), has more maximum breaks (147) in competition than anyone, and plays world beating snooker right or left handed! Love him or hate him, his records are simply unmatched! Let me add that only a very small minority of people dislike him! As you can imagine, I absolutely LOVE the man! UNQUESTIONABLY the GREATEST OF ALL TIME!!!!
I love with how much respect and admiration Ronnie talks about his colleagues of the class of 92 and Stephen Hendry as well. he is the GOAT but he doesn't care, still wants to learn. just an amazing person.
Funny how Ronnie is more and more like his dad with each passing crucible. I do hope the GOAT will stand there in his seventies, cue and all, take a bow
Knowing that Ronnie only shakes certain people's hands (and fist bumps the rest), it's nice to see Rob getting the respect and admiration he deserves. Solid guy, I'd buy him and I a pint any time.
You can't really put Mr Personality Judd Trump in the same category as those three legends of the game. They basically let Judd win the mickey mouse tournaments, Ronnie barely enters them
@Cureboy1 I know what you're saying but Trump has the class as all of them, look at how much he wins, and his consistency, I aint saying he's better than ronnie, but.. he's some play just need more worlds!
@@matthewhill6483 I like Judd he’s got unbelievable talent, cue power, and can pot balls like no other has ever done he’s a really good player and a lot more but seriously think about it, have you watched videos of O’Sullivan in his younger days? Judd could barely ever compete with the class of 92 if they were in their actual prime and other greats that played in their time no way, the class of 92 are almost 50 years of age and still the best players in the world they’re from an era of greatness, Judd should’ve took over back in 2011/12 when Ronnie and the others should’ve supposedly been near the end of their careers but no it wasn’t meant to be and how great things have been since
@@thecraftyguy6358 Someone better always comes along, as we saw with Alex and Jimmy, but I still preferred watching Alex, as his flawed genius meant you never knew what was going to happen next.
Yep every year it's the same if Trump goes out he's got a bye to the final,he could actually win the tournament and not play one decent player..Look at the rankings of the players he's going to meet,it's a joke..plus they're the dummies he always plays,Hawkins,Day,Wilson,Losiwzki all the bottle jobs,he'll beat all of then by 7-8 frames..
I think Ronnie is the most talented player of all time. Hendry is a close second, but Hendry was stronger mentally. It would be awesome to have had them both in their prime at the same time, what a rivalry it would have been.
@@RubenVatle I definitely would've done - I completely agree with the main comment. Boring, lazy effort to asking questions. Get somer new ideas Rob! Cheeseball.
The main thing to realise with Ronnie is he is anxious and if you are anxious you don’t want to think about what’s coming up, just to stay focused on now. It’s why he’s always awkward in interviews.
@@sharpvidtube Hes proved to be on another level to both of those guys, their games declined and new players coming through were better, Ronnie is world number 1 at 48 years of age. He could be world number 1 for another 5 years easily if he wants it. but does he? its doubtful, I cant see his game declining rapidly enough for him not to be the man for the next 5 years.
I noticed something about all ronnies matches they never seem to be in evening unless he makes a final obviously always always whatever the tournament ronnie plays in the afternoon sessions v frustrating for someone who has a day job i wonder why this is ?
The best thing to happen to snooker, if you want the World Championship to remain in the UK, is for O'Sullivan to lose in the first couple pof rounds. If he wins the Championship he will push more and more for the competition to be moved to Saudi Arabia or worse, China. D you really want to watch any matches after 2027 in the middle of the night from Beijing? You'll have to if Ronnie gets his way.
I know that does my head in. The amateur scene is dying in the UK so why doesn't he concentrate on promoting the game here where he comes from. I don't get it to be honest.
@@Adam-o1x2t Why does it do your head in, dude? He tells you in every interview that china and the middle east is where the money is these days. Not a shredd of mystery here, pal.
Let's face it, most snooker matches on TV are so boring, even most of the pros admit they don't watch other matches, Ronnie is always watchable good or bad, there aren't many players I will watch without fast forwarding through, mark Williams, luca Brecel are a couple that spring to mind as worth watching, but it isn't exactly riveting most of the time
One of the only characters left in the game, hence why he is one of the only big magnets left. WST, in my opinion, has destroyed the games characters. Turned the players into obedient slaves on ridiculous contracts and silly wages. Shame really for the future of the game in Britian.
I know Ronnie says a lot of stuff just to make headlines but it’s a real shame he’s come out and backed leaving the Crucible, seems pretty poor form and a lack of self awareness considering how much great support he’s received there down the years.
Ffs here we go wst are at it now. What about the other 31 players in the draw. I get Ronnie is the face of snooker. But stop been such a biased set of money grabbers. And hype the whole tourney up. Not just one guy

I do salut mr o'sullivan for showing what a outstanding player he is.he is by fare the biggest magnet to draw attention to snooker.
watching ronnie interviews more exciting than watching other snooker players play snooker
Except for Peter Ebdon... Lot's of excitement going on when he's playing.....
@@iknownothing495 I stand corrected!
@@Guv-u7f that you, Ebdon?
Couldn’t have said it better!! Love this man!
This was a great interview no silliness or beating around the bush, just completely honest and straight to the point. Thanks Ronnie and good luck
Excellent interview. Want Ronnie to win his eighth just like Masters and UK. 888
Think they begged him to behave x
3 decades! That really is an achievement!
One of the best interviews I’ve ever heard from Ronnie. Love it.
If he wants it. He’ll win it
I love with how much respect and admiration Ronnie talks about his colleagues of the class of 92 and Stephen Hendry as well. he is the GOAT but he doesn't care, still wants to learn. just an amazing person.
maybe that's WHY he's the 🐐
The greatest ever
Ronnie loves a bluff
Glad this is being noticed as some people will take everything he says seriously.
I thought nobody took what he said seriously
2.59…those MnS scones repeating on the rocket 😂🥮
This kid shows promise
Enjoy him whilst we still have him playing that's all I'm saying ❤
He shook Rob's hand 😮
There's no escaping robs hand even ronnie can't get away 🤣
He hated that handshake from Rob 😂😂😂
Ó Sullivan é o campeão mundial
If ronnie retired me stop watch snooker for sure
Who cares?😂
Great, not so many idiots in the crowd and cheaper tickets, I can't wait.
100% the sport viewership will drop by 50 %
I cherish every moment Ronnie is on the table. I’m sad I can’t go to Sheffield to watch him this year.
Pumped early, fingers crossed 🤞
Funny how Ronnie is more and more like his dad with each passing crucible. I do hope the GOAT will stand there in his seventies, cue and all, take a bow
@@rhettsycoplando4064 You mean that Kray thug was a someone? Wow... and he only did 18 years
Ronnie just kills them on a snooker table 😂
Mad to think that this guy could still be winning triple crowns well into his 50s
Genius at work!
🤗🤗🤗
Has a sniff of destiny about it, this one.
Snotty boy
You gotta look for that cue action
Ronnie the GOAT
Knowing that Ronnie only shakes certain people's hands (and fist bumps the rest), it's nice to see Rob getting the respect and admiration he deserves. Solid guy, I'd buy him and I a pint any time.
Surprised he didn't mention Trump too hes been class for years and years, nice to hear it about Higgin and Williams too!

Let’s go Ronnie get that eighth world championship! The Rocket
Let's go Ron! #8 is on the horizon!
Appreciate him while we still have him, never be another, when we will be listening to players that are like robot's wit no opinions on anything
4:40
This guy seems like a talent, he can go far
time will tell
Na, he hasn't got the head for it 😊
He’s a good prospect 😂😂
The old fellas will eat this young bloke alive
Interesting that he actually shook hands at the end. No fist pump.
bump
Come on the GOAT.
How many times do we need to hear the question "don't you think it is amazing how you, Mark, and John are still at the top?"
Ronnie o'sullivan Win 8 time ❤
So down to earth. He's on TV and not bothered with a haircut 😂
Donski of the game 💯👍👊
The day he leaves the snooker circuit, then everyone gonna understand what a magnet to snooker (WST) he was. Im happy he is going on ❤🎱
I thought when A.Higgins hung up his cue and White faded away were big moments but when O'Sullivan retires snooker will struggle to recover.
@@thecraftyguy6358 Even when Ronnie quits, we'll still have Rod Lawler ;)

Lets see Rocket…. Please make deeps run. Centuries break or 147 who knows 😊
Can't wait for the World Championship to be in Saudi Arabia.
Will be great. Can’t wait for a 3,000 seat arena with 50 people in.
D grade trolling. Must try harder.
Yeah with zero atmosphere...just like the boxing👍👍
They will never move it too much at stake I think
I want Ronnie to win the world 🏆
Watching Ronnie play is like watching:
Barry Sanders...
Lionel Messi...
M.J...
❤️
Best ambassador the sport ever had. The numbers & £ he brings to the game cannot be underestimated.
Best player ever but talks a lot of rubbish.
Well, if he gets hos way, he'll be bringing lots of money to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
He is undeniably the GOAT but he is an awful ambassador for the sport.
He’s always bloody moaning
@@Rebecca_Baxter yea, fk that. I thought that was mainly Barry Hearn's bright idea, though?
Sullivan sounds just like Mr.Bean Character it was so funny today same sound voice actors. 😂
Rainman has an easy route to the semi final as per usual

@@stuartaitken6128 Yes, he was like a machine.
@@quench100 just need to go on wiki and see the records. Even Ronnie calls Hendry the GOAT. The man was a winning machine. Nobody could touch him

@@Pa1zan-my4rt and still won 7

you would have asked much better questions. Im sure
