Hendry has won the World Snooker Championships seven times, a record for the modern era, and is thus regarded by many as the greatest player of all time. Hendry started his career early. He was Scottish Amateur Champion at the age of 15, and turned professional aged just 16, the youngest professional ever. Hendry first won the World Professional Snooker Championship in 1990, at the age of 21, and went on to dominate the game in the 1990s. His most recent win in 1999 was his seventh, eclipsing rival Steve Davis's six modern era victories. Hendry holds several snooker records: He has earned more prize money than any other player; he has scored the most 147s (eight times), and is the only player to have scored a 147 in a major final, a feat he has achieved three times. He has compiled the most century breaks and he holds the most ranking event titles (34). Hendry was awarded an MBE in 1994. He was married to Mandy in 1995, and has two sons - Blaine (1996) and Carter (2004). Hendry, Stephen Hendry, Stephen Hendry, Stephen
