Snooker legend Stephen Hendry says certain players were able to get under his skin in his pomp, with Peter Ebdon the prime example.
Stephen Hendry remembers one especially annoying opponent The seven-time world champion dominated the sport in the 1990s, becoming a household name for his brilliance on the baize. He wasn’t unbeatable, though, and a young Ebdon got the better of the Scot in a number of their early meetings. Notable wins for Ebdon came in the 1995 Masters and the final of the Irish Masters in the same year, with Hendry admitting that the flash newcomer was getting on his nerves.
We had a mini rivalry, we seemed to play a lot for a few years, had a little rivalry. He beat me two or three times. That annoyed me.’ Hendry was musing on players that annoyed him as he talked up the rivalry between Judd Trump and Kyren Wilson after their final of the Northern Ireland Open last weekend.
