MARK Allen has claimed that he knows the real reason why Stephen Hendry retired from snooker.
Hendry previously revealed that a wrist condition caused him to retire from snooker for a final time last year.
But Allen believes pal Hendry hung up his cue because he hated losing so much.
Opening up on his snooker exit, Hendry said: "Let's be honest, I wasn't pulling up any trees, was I?.
That was the second time Hendry had call it quits, initially retiring in 2012 before returning in 2020.
