Love how Ken puts his cue down on the table before answering a question just to let you know he’s got a bit of a story to tell 😂

[adamski]

Ken Doherty is the only celeb who has ever replied to me on social media. I tweeted him good luck several years ago and he very politely replied thanking me. I've always liked him and that just made me like him all the more.

[joeajbeaumont]

These two are the best ambassadors any sport could ask for. More Ken!

I was sitting on a bench at Edinbutgh Waverley train station one afternoon about 15 years ago with my cue case waiting on a train back to Fife after a few hours playing snooker with a mate. A guy sits down and asks me how my game is doing. I look round and it's Ken Docherty. Chatted away to me about snooker for 5 mins and got up for his train. He was playing in the Scottish open the next day. A real down-to-earth guy. Always liked him since that day.

I'm a random 40 year old bloke from the states who only recently discovered snooker in the past few years. Absolutely love this channel and the chats, wish they were much longer form. Could watch/listen to these chats for hours.

[corallaroc]

Ken's charisma is infectuous, plus his memory of every single game of the past is astounding. So entertaining to listen to!

Crafty Ken casually knocking out an 85. Two legends of the game

[GiusppK]

Ken is a credit to the Irish. What a lovely chap.

[samwh.]

Ken's a great Irish ambassador for snooker and always good fun

[ShubhamSingh-zzhd]

Ken is possibly the most entertaining guest stepehen has brought on. I play with an old Riley cue that has ken doherty's signature printed on it. Gonna treasure it even more now.

Doherty is money in the bank. Such a personality, always has been.

[Tomlawrence]

Ken just casually hitting an 85 break in the most interrupted and distracted series of shots, class act.

[onniroy]

If you were ever in doubt how good these players were in their prime dismissed by how easily Doherty made an 85 break without even concentrating. Amazing!

[HugoNobrega]

That George Best/Alex Higgins story was a very big, very bittersweet laugh. Another excellent episode, many thanks!

[fensterputzernuernberg]

Ken should get his own Youtube channel going .. I think many snooker fans like him a lot . HE stands out .. I was captivated listening to him TBH

[pyrrhicvictory]

Ken's run in 2003 World Championship is the best run ever what a pity he didn't win that year.

[Alisonjs]

I could listen to you pair talk all day.

[Kyran]

Met Ken once in Manchester City centre, I noticed him in a newsagents and involuntarily burst out oh it’s Ken Doherty and he was the nicest you could imagine and took a picture with me, snooker legend

[johnwishart]

cant remember the venue, , , cant remember the year but i remember these two going at it in a match where it was century after century ... my two favourite players, ,, EVER !

[BlazeyTV]

Casual Ken we'll call him just knocking in pots for fun whilst sharing some legendary stories. Class act, take a bow.
