Snooker legend Stephen Hendry has dominated the sport in the nineties, winning a total of seven Embassy World titles.
Hendry has also inspired a generation of Scottish players and has set new standards for the sport.
He reached the Crucible in his first season as a 17-year-old in 1986 and was the event's youngest ever champion just four years later.
Hendry beat Jimmy White 18-12 in that 1990 final and was to deal out considerable heartache to the 'Whirlwind' over the course of the next five years.
In 1992, Hendry fought back from 14-8 down to beat White
18-14. Considering the importance of the match and the
pressure of the Crucible, the comeback ranks as one of the greatest ever.
Hendry also beat White 18-5 in 1993 and held his nerve to
win an exciting deciding frame in the 1994 final, beating
White 18-17.
Further Embassy World Championship victories in 1995 and 1996 saw Hendry equal Steve Davis and Ray Reardon's modern day record but he failed to set a new record of seven wins when his 29 match unbeaten run ended 18-12 against Ken Doherty in the 1997 final.
A prolific tournament winner, 69 in total, Hendry won just one ranking title - the Thailand Masters - last season but returned to form by reaching the final of the Regal Welsh in Cardiff this year and then winning the Regal Scottish in Aberdeen.
He held his nerve at Goffs last month to win the Irish Masters title for a third time, beating Stephen Lee 9-8 from 5-0 and 8-4 behind.
He then had a brilliant Embassy World Championship, getting better all the time and beating Mark Williams 18-11 to win a record 7th World Title in 1999.
