What a genuine guy this fella is. You can imagine him as a kid down the local working mens club taking tenners of all the old boys. Absolutely love his snooker his personality and fun loving attitude to everything. Love to go for a pint with him. Legend.
It was a great tribute! Well deserved winner of this year's WC! Hopefully this victory will motivate him want to play a few more years. Otherwise Snooker would lose an amazing Snooker player with such a gentle as funny character.
Mark is an absolute gent has fun whilst he's playing and produces one of the best snooker plays. Good job he didn't retire look at the form he's in now!
I dont mean to be off topic but does anybody know a way to log back into an Instagram account..? I somehow lost my password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me!
Asking and receiving snacks from the crowd in the final itself. Pure Mark Williams. One of my favourite players ive seen play. My others are Ronnie O'Sullivan, Judd Trump, Jimmy White and Neil Robertson all because they are a joy to watch at full throttle.
I just gonna call you Champ from now on, last season not even close to anything(99.9% would have given up), then comming back like this, only great players like mr. Williams can do this. Thank you for all the wonderfull shots!
Nobody sees the crazy shots that Mark can see, let alone take them on and then make them. A real genius on a snooker table. Maximum entertainment value.
Not only the shot that He makes but the extreme ease at which He is able to set up for the next shot is hard to believe.....Always a pleasure to watch Him play and seeming to just have fun at it...
Thanks for the upload. This epitomises what was so great about this year's championship. I started watching it from the second round and straight away I could see that Williams was in phenomenal form. It was a weird kind of form, because he did miss a hell of a lot of easy/medium shots (especially in the semi-final against Hawkins) which normally would dump a player out of a big competition. These were lapses of concentration I guess. However, Williams never let it affect him, and he just kept knocking in outrageous shots. That's what won him the championship. So entertaining to watch. I want to see a final set up between Williams and that other great player of the class of '92 - O'Sullivan. I hope Williams keeps this form. If he can just address those lapses in concentration he could be unbeatable.
@@AverageAtBestHDTB My guess is that it's just something a bunch of people have come up with to be annoying and make sure "nothing looks perfect", and it just stayed as a habit. I'm pretty sure they don't even care anymore, just do it automatically.
I love Mark Williams, he seems such a great guy with a brilliant sense of humour. People don't seem to talk about him often but I don't know why because he is an amazing snooker player too, actually, he is a secret snooker magician, wow, some of the plants he plays and pots nobody else could do, not even Ronnie could play a lot of the shots you saw. Absolutely awesome!!!
That plant at the right mid pocket was just pure insanity. Only a genius can conceive such an outrageous shot and manage to pull it off. Well played sir. Truly deserved the win this year.
+Snooker Planet Thanks a lot. Your compilation is superb, unmatched and deserve a million views. Judging by these shots alone, anyone can safely say that Mark Williams was at a Zen-state of Mind at the Crucible, and by converting so many almost-impossible shots the (blindly!) way he did just confirms it! You should edit the Title: those were not 'crazy' at all - those were indeed 'Magical' or even 'Sublime' moments. I mean, look at that shot at 8:38 mark (pun!); that was simply un-be-lie-va-ble! If I were told that a snooker player once, on the losing side of a 13-11 match during the World Snooker Championship Semi-finals, was attempting to make a Red ball play the Cue's job and goes poting another Red via a one-cushion bounce to hit the other Red at a reverse angle, just so the Cue stays at the Black to win the frame, I'd think that guy urgently needed to undergo some mental scrutiny, asap - but that was verbatim what Mark Williams did!!! A clear & logical vision, mathematical imagination and sheer creativity presented all at once to perform an unheard & unseen of shot, ever! Let alone the rest of the so many magnificent shots we've seen here: various plants of 2 or even 3 (!!!) Reds, and the swerves, the 'impossible' angles, the decisive long-shots, some of them closing his eyes before the shot, etc., and with it all added up, we would simply conclude that he was touched by some special enchanting Angel, and was walking on clouds to win this year WCS handed to him by Destiny itself, nonetheless. I don't think it was ever a player playing like that, in all WSC History. Words can't describe it, and 'Luck' can't explain it, either. He surely deserved it. Nobody gives Snooker a more pleasant and lighter mood, everytime, than Mark Williams. He always brings Snooker back to that friendly, relaxing at-the-club-with-dear-friends atmosphere it always had, before big money, Media and sponsorship obligations took some of its grace to replace it with a stiff seriousness. My utmost love, respect and cheers to Mark Williams & all his Family, specially to Ms. Joanne Williams, who is such a blessing in his life that he should thank Life and Destiny for, everyday. That was a fabulous Match - and, again, your fabulous compilation surely does justice to it. Maybe it deserves an extended version! Cheers!
When Mark Williams, John Higgins and Ronnie O'Sullivan are no longer playing, that will be a sad day for the sport. They all turned pro in 1992. O'Sullivan needs only 3 more titles to tie Stephen Hendry's record of 36, and 52 more centuries for 1000 in his career, while John Higgins could still surpass Hendry in titles and centuries, he won't catch O'Sullivan. Meanwhile, Mark Williams looks like he's having so much fun when he plays. What great players!
i tried that yesterday ona pool table ,made one simpe shot with eyes closed,the discipline of this guy is astonishing n shows us oldies cn still do stuff
What's amazing about this compilation from Williams is how many pots he made from distance slow rolling the cueball. I don't know what he did with his cue action but it worked!
Officialy the best player in the world. He is such a gentleman and such a funny guy with a young hearth beatting in his chest. God bless you Mr Williams 🙏🏼
I think Mr Mark Williams is one of the nicest......world class player.....ex world champion...ever...he seems a smashing bloke and a great ambassador to world snooker.Hats off to you my friend
When I was a youngster, I liked John Pulman. Brilliant, took the game seriously on the table. But, had a light side. Then, it was Alex Higgins, Jimmy White, Kirk Stevens. But, for pure imagination in shot-making, Mark Williams is the king, closely followed by Mark Selby.
Mark is my hero. He makes the game look so much fun. That shot at 8:33 is unbelievable I just bought a small practice table at the age of 30 and can't wait to join my local clubs.
100% deserved title. Rarely you see someone play so many risky and clutch shots. Add to that showmanship and this man had it all in this world championship. Was a joy to watch.
Ding - snookers Judd trump - cue power Shaun Murphy - long pot John Higgins - defensive Ronnie sullivan - placing Mark Selby - snookers and escape Mark William - unpredictable !!
That plant off the baulk cushion onto the red in the middle pocket may genuinely have been the most incredible shot I've ever seen in snooker, and I've been watching since the mid 80s... :o
This man. He’s given more joy to the sports than anyone I’ve ever seen. Pure love for the sport!
Shame he lost today. Really wanted it for him. He's class.
Mark, entertaining us on and off the table. Thank you for a wonderful season of snooker.
some people think that Williams isn't an entertainer rofl
@@AlonsoRules David Blaine's next stunt is happening this month on the 31st of August!
I'm glad that he decided to continue playing.. He's one of the funniest players out there.
shallowlord
One of the few characters left in the game
And one of the best.
Snooker simply won't be the same within Mark, John and Ronnie.
We've been so lucky growing up watching such amazing talent + entertainment
What a genuine guy this fella is. You can imagine him as a kid down the local working mens club taking tenners of all the old boys. Absolutely love his snooker his personality and fun loving attitude to everything. Love to go for a pint with him. Legend.
I hope Mark can carry on this great form, he gives the game a much needed bit of entertainment 😁👌
Mark isn't the most consistent of players, but when he's on form he's easily one of the best.
3 years later. You're hope came true
Mark Williams has been and will always be my favourite snooker player 🤣🤣
Brilliant. This year, it's as though Mark played all the 'Shots Of The Championship 2018' himself.
He deserved the win, great performance at the crucible.
He is the most exciting player to watch because he is so unpredictable
I never knew what snooker was until 5 videos ago of this. Can't stop watching. Brilliant
Love watching Mark play; he's got an incredible touch.
Mark is my favourite player. Down to earth and a great sense of humour. Not to mention a very talented player. I wish him all the luck.
Mark is such a great character on and off the table. He wears his heart on his sleeve and we love him for it!
Great to see Mark back at the highest level. Taking shots on you' d never expect someone to chose for. Best single ball potter ever. Great job geezer
It was a great tribute!
Well deserved winner of this year's WC!
Hopefully this victory will motivate him want to play a few more years.
Otherwise Snooker would lose an amazing Snooker player with such a gentle as funny character.
08:57 Best pot I've seen for years.
yes and surrounded by other brilliant shots on this video
I did that on a pool table once. Snooker table I’d be there for days
Hmm... good question
Iirc Mark Williams did sth. like this on a WC before, so that one.
Hecatia Lapislazuli
The next pot to the middle was harder
so you fluked a similar shot on a pool table....
Mark is an absolute gent has fun whilst he's playing and produces one of the best snooker plays. Good job he didn't retire look at the form he's in now!
His wife didn't let him retire. She doesn't want him in the house all the time. I am amazed to see what a little push from wife can do in life.
He won with his eyes closed. Literally
Ft
Yup Kuwait
This man is legend !! Pure entertainer and great personality !! hands-down awesome performance!!
One of my favourites by a country mile, pure joy to watch Mark play, one of the greatest champions, of any sport, fantastic.
08:35 Beautiful shot. Absolutely incredible.
The type of shot no one will teach.
Just his own imagination crafted this beauty
It is always a pleasure to watch Mark play. He plays, and makes, some truly daring shots.
Well deserved. Your game was on point. It was great to see someone enjoy himself as well, and entertain the crowd with his mannerisms. Top lad.
He was the most entertaining champion in years. Trick shots and good humour
Mark is the Best.. Big Hug from PORTUGAL
It’s always a pleasure to watch Mark play and his interviews are great too!
I don’t know a single word of this game but it still gave me chills, that how this guys play so professionally. Absolutely Amazing 😉.
Fantastic video sir. What a legend williams is! Can't believe some of these shots he played to win this title
Such a great story, nearly gave up playing a year ago and came back strong to light up the stage. Pure class
He could be the oldest world number one at the start of the season
I dont mean to be off topic but does anybody know a way to log back into an Instagram account..?
I somehow lost my password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me!

He’s got a new generation of fans after this years performance....go on my son!!! 👍
The point here is not only his good shots, but his great mindset to make the shots !! BRILLIANT
Great compilation of Mark Williams at this years World Snooker Championship. Well done!!
Nobody sees the crazy shots that Mark can see, let alone take them on and then make them. A real genius on a snooker table. Maximum entertainment value.
Watching this compilation just proves how good Willo was at the crucible last year. The best player over the 17 days and thoroughly deserved the win
I absolutely love the fact that even the commentators only see the shot he’s trying at 8:38 when it’s already halfway. Absolute genius moment.
Not only the shot that He makes but the extreme ease at which He is able to set up for the next shot is hard to believe.....Always a pleasure to watch Him play and seeming to just have fun at it...
Such a classy and funny guy ! Really glad to see him back on top
Great shots . 👏👏👏

Wonderful player and an effortlessly funny and descent man
His current win inspired me to win my club's pool(though I prefer snooker) tournament today, I dedicate my win to him :)
Damn the 6 people, or anyone who dislikes this video. Cmon, the man worked so hard for this! How you gonna dislike this video!!
The boss Geezer probably didn't like to see him naked 😂

Who only could not love this guy , deserved the win and showed a great performance throughout including a good laugh as well here and there!
Great video clips of a man who is at one with the snooker table!! Enjoying himself and playing at highest level. Great player
That plant at the right mid pocket was just pure insanity. Only a genius can conceive such an outrageous shot and manage to pull it off.
Well played sir. Truly deserved the win this year.
Been my favorite player since the 90's. love his style of play.
Марк - красавчик! Заслуженно стал чемпионом! Просто сумасшедшие матчи провел!
Да, я давно в Крусибле не видел такой фееричной и безбашенной, но в то же время эффективной игры.
8:37 best shot ever
That’s a nineteen and a half foot pot with a double and a cannon.
Madness and genius combined
I'm actually so happy he won, entertaining on and off the table
He really is one of my favourite players to watch. An entertainer through with absolutely fabulous invention. The perfect snooker brain. First class 👍
Superb player & all round nice guy. Never fails to disappoint the masses 😀

@Daniel Burke I thought John got gone for agreeing to cheat not actually doing it
@scribble 36 now they have equal and hendry is back again
@scribble 36 yeah lol.. I don't even like him
@Daniel Burke John was never a cheat, but his manager was. He fixed that. The big issue was not tell the league officials about what happened.
Best snooker channel on TH-cam! Quality content! 👏🏼
Always been my favourite player by far
ЧЕМПИОН ПО ПРАВУ, ЗАСЛУЖИВАЕТ!!! А подборка ударов - шедевр, просто гениальные, ФАНТАСТИКА!!!! Браво Вильямс!!!!
Very well done tribute to a great snooker player and a genuinely nice & witty guy.
I think hes my new favourite player
i agree he's mine too
He was my favourite back in 99 already!
Yep, I like watching trump and ding too...and obviously Ronnie
I haven't watched Snooker since the Hendry days. I just love this guy!
shots as good as Mark Williams'!

From now on he's officially a legend. Three times winner plus the biggest gap between two titles, 15 years.
Congratulations Mark Williams!!! You are an amazing player. I am too left handed and big fan of yours.. You're a great role model.
Mark Williams gives us a most entertaining play, and Victory in all snooker history, since Alex Higgins and Jimmy White. (Also I'm a Ronnie fan)
People don't realise that. Most colourful character in the game
He is actually quite funny! Great video!
