2. Hendry Makes Snooker History in 1999
Episode description
The WPBSA Snooker Podcast returns for the first of a six-episode opening season and we begin with a big one as we look back at the 1999 World Championship which saw Stephen Hendry claim a magnificent seventh Crucible title!
Host Michael McMullan is joined by leading snooker broadcaster and journalist David Hendon - who was the WPBSA Press Officer at the event - alongside two-time ranking event winner Joe Perry, who secured a memorable victory of his own at the tournament against the legendary Steve Davis.
The trio plot their way through the key moments from the tournament as Hendry rebounded from an infamous 9-0 defeat to Marcus Campbell at the UK Championship just months earlier to make history in Sheffield.
We also reflect more generally upon a landmark season in the sport which saw a significant rise in standard as a new generation made their indelible mark on the World Snooker Tour.
