JAMES MADDISON’S incredible games room features snooker and pool tables, a darts board and a mountain of iconic football shirts.

The Tottenham and England playmaker, 27, opened up his home to feature on Stephen Hendry’s Cue Tips YouTube channel.

And during his two frames of snooker against the seven-time world champion, fans got a glimpse of Maddison’s epic pad.

The Spurs star revealed he only got the full-size snooker table “recently” after catching the “snooker bug” again while watching the Masters.

It is thought to be a Rasson Magnum II 12-foot table which retails at approximately £10,000.

And the green baize unsurprisingly takes centre stage in the middle of the plush carpet, with his customised JM10 pool table pushed to the back of the room.

The Ally Pally regular’s darts board is also set on a stand meaning it can easily be moved around to the footballer’s liking.

But it was not an easy task getting the snooker table installed at the top of Maddison’s house – thought to be a new home since moving from Leicester to Tottenham last summer.

He told Hendry: “At the minute I’m up here playing a lot.

“I only recently got the table and the Masters was on – I’ve got the snooker bug at the minute.

“I don’t know if you’ll see on the video how to get up here but there is a video of the six lads bringing the slates up.”

Then around the perimeter of the room is a stunning collection of framed tops – including a few from Spurs’ rivals.

As well as his own shirts playing for Coventry, Norwich, Leicester and England, there are a host of Premier League legends propped up against the white walls.

Current heroes Marcus Rashford, Raheem Sterling, Kevin De Bruyne, Ederson, Jorginho and Kyle Walker have all swapped shirts with Maddison over the years.

Former Prem stars Sergio Aguero, Jack Wilshere, Mesut Ozil, Cesc Fabregas, David Silva and Paul Pogba did the same.

And though it is not on display in the YouTube video, he even managed to get Cristiano Ronaldo’s – thanks to tapping up a former team-mate.

Maddison revealed: “I supported Manchester United growing up so in the early stages my hero was David Beckham and I loved Wayne Rooney as well.

“I loved Cristiano growing up, I used to watch him on YouTube every day at school.

“His attitude to being the best is admirable.

‘I DON’T GET JEALOUS BUT…’

“I played against him last year when he came back to United.

“As you can see I love collecting shirts and I texted Harry Maguire – it is the first time I’ve ever texted someone before a game.

“I said, ‘Listen, keep Cristiano’s shirt aside for me today please.’ And I managed to get it thankfully.”

Hendry, 55, did jokingly criticise Maddison for his poor brushing technique on the table which will slow down the balls.

But Maddison’s ultimate games room, understandably, caught the attention of viewers watching him test his snooker skills against one the all-time greats.

One said: “That game room is just a dream. Beautiful. Lucky guy.”

Another wrote: “I would love a room like that.”

A third added: “When you’re on £150k a week it’s a given you’re going to have a belter of a games room.”

A fourth typed: “Love these tables what a room that is.”

A fifth replied: “Lovely room and the table looks awesome. Kudos to the guys who got the slates up.”

And a final user commented: “I don’t get jealous very often, but that room is an absolute dream! That’s how you treat yourself.”
