Stephen Hendry (born 13 January 1969) is a Scottish former professional snooker player and a current commentator and pundit. One of the most successful players in snooker history, he turned professional in 1985, aged 16, and rose rapidly through the snooker world rankings, reaching number four in the world by the end of his third professional season. He won his first World Snooker Championship in 1990, aged 21 years and 106 days, making him the sport’s youngest world champion, a record he still holds. He won seven world titles between 1990 and 1999, setting a new modern-era record that stood outright until Ronnie O’Sullivan equalled it in 2022. He also won the Masters six times and the UK Championship five times for a career total of 18 Triple Crown tournament wins, a total exceeded only by O’Sullivan’s 23. His total of 36 ranking titles is second only to O’Sullivan’s 41, while his nine seasons as world number one were the most by any player under the annual ranking system used until 2010. On an interesting note the person credited for inventing snooker, the army officer Sir Neville Francis Fitzgerald Chamberlain was also born on the 13th of January 1856.
