The chalk and also the snooker cues and the balls and the clothe of the snooker table were not the same as this days,snooker was even more difficult to play
I remember watching this and being hugely disappointed that Jimmy didn’t win. A feeling that was to become all too common in the years ahead, sadly.
6:04 The very definition of throwing your arm at one.
well done Steve Davis.
Hated him at the time but he was pure class. Love him now and Jimmy is still a legend even if he never won the big one.
Steve and Ray Reardon were the 2 greatest ambassadors of snooker.
@@antoniosilvestro9045 can’t argue with that 👍
My biggest memory of this match was the state of the cloth! The semi final was the same between Jimmy and kirk Stevens although in that match I'm not so sure the white marks was chalk.
😂😂👍🏻
Probably the old Colombian marching powder so they say
Bad sport where junkies got away with it. Any other sport they would have been banned
Were the misses due to the state of the cloth? Looks a bit rough.
The Nugget...😎
So many bad shots despite the pressure. Jimmy really missed a trick with that snooker in behind the blue. He left an easy escape, could have been a defining moment
Such a shame Jimmy lost this one and the others, pure genious on table but his habbits of the table kept him of winning the world title. Its sad because if you look pure snooker he is shoulder to shoulder one of the best to pick up the cue.
Habits off the table is an overused excuse for his failure to win at least one World title. Even in this frame he had a chance but some of his shot choices were awful here. And drinking had nothing to do with his missed black v Hendry at 17-17 and that was unforgiveable.
@@dublinsfaircity i disagre with you, when you play 34-35 frames oh boy it has with habits of the table, when im hangover i can barely play pool, specialy when you must win and all that stuff, he used to take drugs and alcohol and his mind was in wrong place, thats why he took awful shots sometimes. Sorry for bad English
@@radoslavmirnic1315 your English is good brother 👍
@@dublinsfaircity thanks bro 😁
@Wayne Anthony Holmes i dont use it as a excuse, i say as a pure talent he is if not the best then one of the best when you look at pure playing snooker. I dont defend him.
Jimmy the best player to not win the world championship. He was the most exciting player back then.
Referee keeps asking for "quiet please" but I wish he'd give it a rest. That miss from Jimmy White at 6:05...what a shocking shot from a terrific player. That's pressure for you.
The stsrt of the jimmy rollercoaster ride
Jimmy’s highest break in this final came in frame 17 to go from 12-4 down to 12-5 down a clearance of 119 after a short break to get his extension which started his (in vain) recovery. Steve made an 84 break in this final which was his highest.
07:58 I thought that was Davis giving his victory talk
£44,000 in 1984 was equivalent to about £250,000 today.
So many people coughing
Dave Steveis
the level today is higher i think
You think? In this final Steve Davies won with a high break of 84. People are losing in the qualifiers with multiple centuries these days. No doubt the level of the game has risen far above what we see here.
No, the pockets are much wider after 1990. In the old days, the middle pocket is nearly impossible to pot for narrow angle shots
I think Jimmy had a bet on Steve.
In a parallel universe Jimmy beats Alex in the 82 semi-final and wins final easily. He goes on to win another 2 or 3 with that under his belt. Just never meant to be.
I think he would have lost to Ray Reardon his tactical game would have been too much for Jimmy don't forget he ran Alex Higgins close and he beat Jimmy in the Semis.
Why only 9 minutes ? 😔
Because Jimmy played so poorly that it's all Davis needed
Very sad for Jimmy.
Jimmy giving it away as used 😂
Jimmy White has got to be the unluckiest snooker player in history, he reached SIX snooker world championship finals and didn't even win ONE. 😱😥😤
น่าเห็นใจพระรอง6สมัย.......
Jimmy white so weak, missed many easy chances
4:20 😅😅😅
6:03 🤣🤣🤣
That was me lol on the piss 😀😊😊
Jimmy had a problem with drink and drugs like Kirk Stevens. It ruined their careers.
In a parallel universe jimmy white won 7 world titles😢
Davies misses long red white pots yellow up rail we might of had a different winner
Jimmy should have taken the yellow on his 1st shot instead of the simple snooker/escape.
Like watching 2 guys down the club. Terrible standard
