I think Hendry has done the right thing in Bowing out. In fact he probably should have done so a few years back. Great career but no point flogging a dead horse. Not that I watch snooker nowadays anyway. Boring as ****. Reached its peak in the 1985 Final when speccy four eyes made a remarkable recovery.
Seeing as Jimmy White was one of my idols as a boy, I can't say I ever liked Hendry much, so glad to see the back of him
He's only retiring from tournament snooker, but he'll remain in the game. His face will be used to sand new cues.
Any sport which can be played whilst drinking pints of lager and smpoking has a fair bit going for it.
