2. Hendry Makes Snooker History in 1999

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.

1. Hunter Comeback Secures First Masters Title at Wembley

Welcome to the pilot episode of the WPBSA Snooker Podcast as we revisit the 2001 Masters which saw the late Paul Hunter complete a sensational comeback to win the first of his three Wembley titles!
Host Michael McMullan is joined by Ireland's Fergal O'Brien - the player on the receiving end of Hunter's fightback in the final - as well as former world champion Shaun Murphy, who was making his debut at snooker's most prestigious invitational event that year.
As well as the unforgettable final itself - including the famous 'Plan B' - we take a look at other big talking points from the 2000/2001 season, which would end with Ronnie O'Sullivan claiming the first of his seven world titles so far, as he showed that he could turn his prodigious talent into regular silverware.
We also look at the Nations Cup, Shaun Murphy's debut run and a memorable match between O'Sullivan and Jimmy White and much more.
