When Steve Davis Faced A 17-Year-Old Ronnie O'Sullivan...

If ROS had been where he is now mentally, easy 4 more WC'S wins,but every young guy deserves some crazy part of live .

Len Ganley was quicker round the snooker table than he ever was to keep up with Ronnie.
RIP 🪦 Len Ganley (mr snooker himself)

We will never be seen player like Ronnie again is history 😢

จำนวนปีชัดเจนหรือไม่

Steve must have been thinking, wtf ?

3years before this match, in 1990 when Ronnie had 14yo, told the presentator of a show that steve was his idole, what a proud for himself , brilliant player !! 🇩🇿

I can’t imagine he’ll amount to much

He was a genius from the start...
Incredible...

❤

Ronnie everyday « 😮 »

Would he not have got a century If he had potted The black ?

My two favourite snooker players. Great game.

Man seriously this kid moves so slow they should call him La Tortuga.. The Turtle.. i hope he picks up speed some where down the line 😴😴💤💤💤💤

why was the black ball not hit at the end?

At this time he was already quickly

Well done Owen, it's amazing how difficult it is, even when you have the truth on your side. The other guy looked like a right loser

Also, aye, a couple of wee errors, but the positioning of the cue ball at 17 ye auld was just remarkable and an absolute portent of what was to come. An awesome talent.

That red to middle at the start was outstanding.

Spoiler alert Ronnie won this tournament in 1993 aged 17 beating Stephen Hendry in the final

It was only when Ronnie was on the colours that I noticed there was no commentary. Still, I guess his snooker speaks for itself anyway.

Steve Davis the greatest player in history until Ronnnie came along.

I think that Ronnie bloke could go on to be World Champion !!!!

Len ganley think that’s how you spell it? Noticed he said nice game Ronnie at the end great referee len is.

free palestine

Before the advent of the Ronnie fanboys yelling out.... Cant stand em

He is the youngest world champion. and is the oldest world champion at this time In another 30 years it will be difficult to find someone who can make a record like this.

I remembered when Davis beat him at the masters

That the GOAT didn’t get the nickname “The Tongue” is amazing . . .

This kid was supposed to continue playing Snooker, I'm sure if he did he will be in top of this game...

The O.G. Luke Littler

I like how the ref says bad luck Steve, luck had nothing to do with it.

In Steves defence this is the timeline (early 90s) he started putting unintentional right hand side on every shot and was fighting/working against it.

I feel like steve david knew damn well he had no chance agains this kid

Steve Davis not sitting down before Ronnie took on the long red 😂

Why didn't he pot the black?

i can see that disappointment when Ronnie missed that shot

Little chubster playing with his mouth open.. bless

ลูกที่รอนนี แทงดำพลาด ทำไมไม่วางตัวกินแดง

Len Ganley... still the greatest...

Две легенды снукера

So eerie without commentary!

Steve Davis World Champion in 1981..1983..1984.. 1987..1988..1989 ...
Without a SHADOW OF A DOUBT the best snooker player of the 1980s...However, By 1993 he was starting to lose his "Edge" and a new generation of snooker players was taking over.

yup, it is clear to me that guys like to play with sticks and balls

8 8 7 ... Unreal triple crown stats

Amazing

That had Len Ganley trotting round the table.

ดูเหมือนมาตรฐานสมัยก่อนต่ำกว่าสมัยนี้ .. Ronnie อายุ17ปี สามารถสูสีกับStieve ที่เป็นมือ1ของโลก ถ้าStieveตอนยุคTop form มาเจอ Ronnie ตอนยุคTop form ... ตอบได้เลยว่า Ronnie ชนะขาดลอย
