Seven-time world champion Stephen Hendry is honoured at the Crucible following his announcement to retire from snooker after his quarter-final defeat by Stephen Maguire on Tuesday. Hendry is joined by fellow snooker legends Steve Davis, Terry Griffiths and Dennis Taylor, who applaud the Scotsman for his contribution to the game. Seven-time world champion Stephen Hendry explains his decision to retire from the sport, telling BBC Sport he was not enjoying competing and wants to spend more time with his family. The 43-year-old, who lost 13-2 to Stephen Maguire in the quarter-finals at the Crucible, says he made the decision three months ago and describes it as an “easy decision“ to make.
