Davis pays tribute to 'winning machine' Hendry

Steve Davis has hailed Stephen Hendry as "the best winning machine we ever had" after snooker's most successful player took his final bow at the Crucible.

A day on from announcing his retirement, Hendry was yesterday back in the arena where he was met by a guard of honour provided by five fellow former world champions in Davis, Dennis Taylor, Ken Doherty, John Parrott and Terry Griffiths.
