I'm watching this because of the video on Stephen Hendry's YT channel!
25 years on - Williams still competing at the top level - pretty awesome.
I remember watching this at 12-13yrs old tucked up in bed with my portable 14" tv not far from my feet. I was allowed to stay up later than usual to watch the final. I remember pleading with my mother to let me watch the final. I am a proud welshman so ofcourse i was pulling for Williams. I hated Hendry at the time because he kept destroying my fav player Jimmy white.
The tension in this final was something else. It was rather special to watch at that age, dare i say inspiring. I started playing snooker shortly after this and still play to this day. Snooker is a fantastic game. It has all the twists and turns, drama, sometimes comedy, happy feelings, sad, despair...it has it all.
Some people thing that snooker is just slamming balls about on a green cloth table but its so much more than that. Its a game of very fine skill, puzzle solving, a true test of patience and temperament. Having the courage to play a positive game which means taking the shots on when their there to take. Safety play which is the tactical side of the game. You have to really engage the brain to play good snooker.
A life long passion.
Okay, off to watch Steven Hendry's latest "cue tips" video. Ive come to like and respect Steven as ive gotten older and more mature.
Laters🎱💥💯
My love for snooker began after watching this great final. Since then I have been constantly playing snooker almost everyday 🙃
So what is your highest break since ? My guess is about 50 to 80 . Right ?
@@mr.robinson7083 mine is 147 , almost on daily basis
Yeah, I ran 80 once… Once!..
I have no recollection of this at all so it was like watching it live. Legends, both of them.
What a final this was. When Stephen fluked the yellow Mark might have thought it's all over. You can even see Mark getting ready to shake Stephen's hand when he goes for the black in the middle. This decider could only be beaten by the Wilson v McGill decider at the 2020 World Championship Semi-Final.
One of the best matches ever!
One of the worst mistakes by steven hendry
Neville Longbottom vs Draco Malfoy
Lol
Funny bastard 😂😂
Those were the days when the front row wore dinner suits to the final.....
But still thought they were at the ally pally
Incredible atmosphere! 😁
Love Mark Williams ...
Mark Williams потрясающий человек и очень хороший игрок, из него получился бы очень крутой комик, ну или актер.
Hendry's final attempt on the black wasn't an easy pot but everyone thought that someone as good as him would pot that. In that respect it is very reminiscent of the Steve Davis missed black in the 1985 world final.
I remember that fix - he didn't just miss it - he missed it by a mile.
He recreated that shot and he easily pot it while william recorded it using hp
I remember watching this, as a hendry fan, I've gotta say it hurt.
as a Williams fab it's great!
@@binkolney196fab!
Was waiting for this upload for a while
Best final ever
Wonderful match! 👌
I was there…it was me that shouted out “Come on Dennis” lol
Quote is "Come on Dennis Taylor". Funny how you forgot the exact words 'you' shouted out, innit...
@@maxington26 I said “Come on Dennis” more than once actually…it was Dennis Taylor that got it wrong lol
@@stanley147 Wrong again. It's clear to hear on the audio in this vid just before Taylor repeats it, the audience member saying "Come on Dennis Taylor". You can hear it, dude. Stop lying, it's weird.
@@stanley147 you're talking out of your ass mate, It's as clear as day 🤦🏼
Btw someone who was there and shouted "cmon Dennis Taylor" wouldnt be using "lol" in the comments cause someone that old wouldn't normally type like that, that gave it away immediately.
Wow so many hateful comments!! Instead, I would rather appreciate these two great players, the shots and the pressure of a re-spotted black
Unbelievable game 👋😁👍
This was amazing nothing will beat the 85 final but this was very close to it still feel the tension fantastic
Massive hendry fan as young lad, Seeing a fellow Scot be so successful was fantastic. I was GUTTED by this one at the time
LOVE FROM PAKISTAN
No.
Mark was playing against the greatest ever at such a young age, imagine what he must have felt after winning.
Ronnie is the greatest ever, no one comes even close.
He might be the all-time best, but saying no-one comes close is ridiculous. He’s still only equal to Hendry in world titles.
@@thatfilmgeekguy NO ONE COMES EVEN CLOSE.
@@raskolnjikov1 Sure pal.
@@raskolnjikov1 What is wrong with you?. Honestly, why are you so triggered and reacting in the way you do?. There's so many people who also act like you do, it's childish. If that's your opinion then that's just fine but my god man, there zero reason to be so emotionally triggered that you put on the Knight outfit ready for battle.

Вот это финал! Спустя много лет по прежнему восхищает!
Młodzi,piękni,pełni nadziei na przyszłe sukcesy...niesamowici obaj
Awesome Game Playing
Uns dos grandes jogos de sinuca.
Remember watching this match with my grandad it went on til almost midnite was just about to head to bed when he shouted Stephen missed the black ball I came straight back! Wales went mad all I can say.
Great final 👏
Hendry's look in this era was just so cool.
I remember watching this match. Good stuff a gripping ending.
Young Mark looks like Neville Longbottom of Harry Potter fame
7:26 me after 8 pints
Lol 😂
Не знаю даже кого подержать они оба на высоте 👍🏻
Henry got reward for his daring 👍
I like Steve but is nice to see someone else win.
Dennis Taylor cannot stop talking about the 85 final XDD
Had to search this out after watching mark Williams on Stephen’s TH-cam show.
Nothing against the masters trophy now and the ally pally, but it ain't as good as the wembley conference centre, that was a proper snooker arena and the trophy back then was awesome
@Kenny CFC still feel the same after almost every snooker player said the crowd in Ally Pally this year was the best they ever played in? Even Mark himself said it multiple times last week.
@@davidb8543 I do atmosphere may be better at ally pally but I feel the arena set up was better at the wembley conference centre I've been to both that's just my opinion
@@davidb8543 Funny how that changed this year (2024). All the players complained that the crowd was annoying!
agreed, the roar in Wembley conf centre was unbelievable, never heard anything like that in any other snooker arena
I took Ronnie 19 years to win 6 worlds but Davis and Hendry did all theres in a 10 years period
That’s true but Ronnie still playing at the top after all these years
Ronnie is the greatest to do this.
How many world's have you got 😜🤣
Yh one of the three can still play to a very high standard.... I'll let you guess who
The standard of players now is much higher and there's too much contension for any one player to dominate now
What a shoot out!!!!!
Hendry was starting to take big wounds on BBC by now
GOOD LUCK YOUR CHANNEL
but kyren vs macgil decider was on another level...
Agree..
Great
End of hendry right there legend
Mark Williams is more shirt than man here
The thumbnail with the trophy, was a total giveway...
Welcome back Welcome
7:16-7:26 is so hillarious!! 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
Great memories gutted for hendo though
Jeffery Archer handing out the trophy.
Yuck
7:28 今はミスタービーンがヘンドリーと同じ世界チャンピオン7回達成したが、これが入ったらヘンドリーは8回世界チャンピオンやったな
Mark Williams
Two amazing greats. The block Hendry missed in the middle was an awful shot with the pace it had to be played at.
Ha tu dia,Mark in his young days...
Pity there’s the photo of Mark holding the trophy in the link, sort of spoils it for those who don’t know who won .
BE AWARE OF ENEMIES
How cool that the audience used to bow-tie up. No wonder Snooker audiences have become so much rowdier with a relaxing of dresscode
This was crowd wasn't short of rowdiness.
Stephen Hendry looks like a villian from a james bond movie here😂
BE AWARE OF ENTRIES
After this performance Mark Williams better put his A$$$ in the Class of 92 and stop being embarrassed:-))
Denis Taylor and he’s 1985…
In every commentary he has to mention 1985 😅😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Alan Chamberlin in the thick of it as usual.
75k for runners up prize in 1998!? They don't even get that nowadays
On hendry
Really dramatic
Hendry recreated that shot and he easily pot it while william recorded it using hp
When folk wore a tuxedo to the snooker finals
The curse of black...Jimmy, Stephen
Mark I can see your jaw line
Jammy git Mark!!!
Did the trophy presenter drop the s from williams? 😂
I thought it was Neville Longbottom from Hogwarts...
Aha
U cud see hendrys arm through the ball wasnt straight. He pooched it jus a hair. Ah well. Shit happens.
the last remnants of when snooker was interesting, it all started to get void of interest, character and entertainment not long after this,
Why the fuck was Jeffrey Archer there?
That absurd miss by Hendry on the black in the middle is a little suspicious.
That was not an easy shot given the circumstances, have you even seen the Davis v Dennis Taylor WC final? The shots they missed in the end they would have probably gotten in their sleep but pressure does that to you.
Needs luck and unluck 😛
Mark williams is unrecognizable now compared to how he looks here.
wrong format!
I now think it's crazy we had tournaments sponsored by cigarette companies.
Hendry won three World titles because Jimmy White was coked out of his mind and choked in every final. once the competition got stiffer, he didn't win anything.
