A famous snooker club in Romford has been visited by a legend of the sport.
Romford Snooker Club hosted seven-time world champion Stephen Hendry earlier this month.
Stephen visited the club to film for his YouTube channel Stephen Hendry’s Cue Tips and was joined by the club’s former owner Barry Hearn.
The club has been in Romford town centre since the 1930s and has hosted elite players including Steve Davis, a six-time world champion who was spotted by Hearn in 1975.
Hendry “was a nice guy and had time for everyone there,” said Richard Willis, the current club owner.

Richard said he bought Romford Snooker Club from Hearn in 1989.
During a frame, Hearn said it was an honour to play with Hendry.
It was the first time in their years of friendship they had played together, he said.
Hendry said he was delighted to have been in Romford Snooker Club, which Richard said was “probably the most famous snooker club in the world.”
