Is Crucible the only record Hendry owns now? Everything else stripped away?

Yeah, apart from the age-related ones.

Couldn't be less bothered about that.
70s and 80s were a diferent era altogether, and old men in their 40s and even 50s like Rex Williams could reach ranking event Finals.
Strikingly similar to now in a way Andre - players in their 40s reaching ranking finals I mean.

I know, and I feel embarassed by it.
Glad he proved me wrong on that occasion.

I know it seems ridiculous now but at the time it made sense. With winning back to back World titles in 2012 and 2013 I thought nothing was going to stop him over the longer distances.

He will probably fall agonisingly short of at least one record, I suspect he won't get to 7 world titles.
The debate about who is the GOAT needs to continue not left in no doubt.

I think Ronnie has got at least one more World Title in him. I think he wins it this year.
If he does, it's not outside the realms of possibility he gets to seven.

Would need to get to 6 this year or the most the next.
Once he's past 45, I dont think theres a realistic chance of another one.

He can certainly tie Davis' World titles tally, and Hendry's 18 majors record is not beyond reach either.
Fact is, Ronnie can break all of these records. It's all about his desire. If he wants to, he can still be a front-line contender for the next 20 years.
im sorry but if Ronnie is a front line contender for the next 20 years then the Next Generation of players will be rubbish to the extream
Stephen Hendry's 775 centuriesDefinitely. And by averages already.
Stephen Hendry's 11 maximum breaksDefinitely. And by averages already.
In fact, he is already on 12, but it is not included for dodgy reasons.
He will probably exceed Hendry's Major total of 4 (which he shares).
He has a decent chance of exceeding Hendry's WC of 3 (which he shares).
Steve Davis's 28 ranking titlesGood chance
Stephen Hendry's 6 Masters titlesGood chance of equalling.
tie Steve Davis's 6 World titlesGood chance
tie Stephen Hendry's 7 World titles25% imho
Stephen Hendry's 7 World titlesNo. I don't think so. But you never know.
Stephen Hendry's 18 majorsDecent chance.
Stephen Hendry's 36 ranking titlesNo chance.Oldest World Champion in snooker historyI'm gonna say no.
Oops.

Think we should look at doing a poll for which records of Ronnies will Judd Trump break.

He will break centuries and ranking titles I think. Total Triple crown events very unlikely and world championship would be very tricky too.

Patience has been the order of the day for Ronnie O'Sullivan's career
a lot of these records were never ever in sight before 2012 esp when he was on a serious drought for 2-2 and a half years after 2009 but he's been chipping them away since then.

Yeah, by the time he's finished Judd will have put the century record out of reach of everyone. He should take the ranking record too, especially if he continues to mop up these tinpot events, helped predominantly by the sheer number of rankers there are these days as compared to how many there were during Hendry's and the first half of O'Sullivan's career.
Not a chance he'll pass O'Sullivans number of Triple Crowns or Hendry's Worlds.

Ranking title strike rate would be interesting to see. Tournaments entered over tournament wins.

Not counting withdrawals, and this may easily be inaccurate, but I've got:
Judd Trump - 22 wins out of 164 tournaments entered (13.41% strike rate)
Ronnie O'Sullivan - 37 wins out of 220 tournaments entered (16.82% strike rate)
I'll possibly look at Hendry later.
*EDIT* Just looking at Hendry's record, my gut is his strike rate will be higher than O'Sullivan's.

Yes I’d imagine Hendry will have at least the same strike rate, or better.
Who is between Trump and O’Sullivan?
Obviously longevity and, on the back of that, sheer numbers of tournament wins are factors that’d also contribute to a ‘greatness’ debate (which I know this isn’t). But strike rate should be a good indicator of the kind of records Trump might break if he continues winning at this pace.
As for that, Anthony Hamilton (in interview on the Talking Snooker podcast) seems pretty sure that Trump’s form must soon drop off. I wonder what his strike rate has been since that NI Open win in 2018.

A few more:
Stephen Hendry - 36 wins from 219 tournaments entered (16.44% strike rate)
Hendry pre and post 2000 would be interesting to look at, as if you eliminate everything post-2000 his strike rate will sky rocket.
John Higgins - 31 wins from 267 tournaments entered (11.61% strike rate)
Mark Selby - 19 wins from 210 tournaments entered (9.05% strike rate)
Selby would be interesting to look at from the point he won his first ranker onwards, as he went eight seasons as a pro without winning anything.
I'm not going to work it out, but Steve Davis from when he turned pro to when he won his final ranker in 94/95 will have a seriously high strike rate. His overall numbers would be skewed badly by playing for another twenty seasons after that.
