Alex Higgins The greatest ever followed by Jimmy White I feel that Alex Higgins was mostly surrounded with wrong People who cheated him and took undue advantage of kindness of Alex Higgins the most brilliant billiards player ever 🎱🙏 🙌 ❤️ Jimmy white was Alex Higgins true friend
I was a young boy when this particular championship was on television I vaguely remember it Alex Higgins was an amazing snooker player Alex Higgins was the reason I started watching snooker I wish I could have met him so sad he's not here anymore god bless Alex Higgins what a legend
He didn't want the cheque, he didn't want the trophy, he wanted his baby girl... The man was an arse at times but he treasured family and kin. God bless you Alex, rest in peace.
I saw an interview with the late Great Oliver Reed who was very good friends with Alex Higgins and spoke very honestly about his times they got drunk together he also described Higgins as having a lot of faults in him as well as the good
Naturally God gifted person only technically sound people are always average be it any sport the main thing is focus practice and Passion for the sport Alex Higgins is the greatest billiards player till date ❤️🙌🙏
he was so full of liquor during the final session with Reardon, it gave him a massive advantage. should never have been allowed, he used a form of performance enhancing drugs...
Awe, fair-play & gutted for Ray Reardon or Dracula whatever.. At least a bit of respect went the Welsh man's way though. Not as if he didn't earn it either!! Absolute LEGEND. Bless..
I'm 64 and I remember this like if it was yesterday. Amazing Alex Higgins, what a character he was . RIP ...
Yes.. What an entertainer! 😎

Same except 48 to 8 year old!
What a world we live in, where classics like this can live on. Thanks for uploading!
So many classic matches in the ‘82 Championships. Higgins/Mountjoy was tremendous - Higgins’ match ball green was an unbelievable shot!
Chris Bland true and even in the first frame v mountjoy a shot on the blue that was amazing
@@duncanbirss4333exactly , the speed he hit it and the side he had on it to move the pink , brilliant shot
Unbelievable beautiful Clip, thank you.

I met him once but not impressed we his attitude.
He didn't want the cheque, he didn't want the trophy, he wanted his baby girl... The man was an arse at times but he treasured family and kin. God bless you Alex, rest in peace.

Higgins shot v mountjoy on the blue when he moved the pink out was incredible at that speed
Best championship ever
i was a 17 yr old boy watching this with my dad no doubt on a sunday night back in the day!!
Another great upload . Thanks
keep these classics coming
The year everyone wanted to be Alex Higgins
At the end his deeply emotions had been counted . He was a great player . RIP ❤️
Fagan should not have got away with that.
Very petulant.
But we miss the old snooker hall players like him now
@@Anthony-Testicali yes sure do
.if Ronnie was not in it it would be rather boaring .not many characters these days.be worse if the chinks take over
Reardon looks like a gangster and pretty dam cool when he sparks up.
Dracula
Colour TV and Higgins both made snooker great but Jimmy White will always be my champion.
higgins potting those pots against mountjoy was freak stuff
18 March Happy Birthday to the legend Alex Higgins
Rip alex . U was one of the mind blowing player on ur time and will be later forever .
What a tribute in the End loved it
And love alex Higgins for is professionalism
One of the greatest finals ever. Reardon should have won it. His game wasn't quite as tight as it was in his prime.
Higgins should have won a lot more than Reardon did.
@@johnmc3862 = Reardon hardly fluked his way to winning!
Yes Alex Higgins Was and still greatest Entertainer of snooker Rip yes Mr interesting S Davis
Great upload thanks
Higgins/White was the best match that year. Would have been a great final.
Lovley to see classic
Was a genius as he had a terrible technique. Moved around on shots lifted his head, yet they still went in

31:33 Fucking hell. That kids jumper is savage.
he was so full of liquor during the final session with Reardon, it gave him a massive advantage. should never have been allowed, he used a form of performance enhancing drugs...
Utter nonsense
A great year that was .
Best worlds ever
Best world championships ever
Not with Davis out early.
@@johnmc3862that's what made it , he was winning everything
RIP Masters!!!
Fan-bloody-tastic!
Old Willie Thorne his hairs all gone

32:10 Why is Alex Higgins dressed up as Rod Hull?
KING ALEXANDER HURRICANE HIGGINS.POWER POWER POWER, ABSOULUTE PEOPLES CHAMPION, INTO OUR JESUS LOVING ARMS.RIP GENUISE AMEN
Wouldn't answer the phone for 25k.
The only way snooker will make a big come back is if there is another player like Alex Higgins.
Luca brecel
2:28:08 Silvio Francisco's earnings from match-fixing 🤣
Alex should have never got past Jimmy White .
@SavageArfad You think Jimmy has Stephen Hendry flashbacks?
@SavageArfad To bad Jimmy didn't know when to leave off the hard stuff...........
P.S. Subbed and liked !!
Naw man Jimmy ALWAYS choked an easy shot when I really needed him to score I'd have lost more than a few quid over the years betting on him.
@SavageArfad Hendry owned him for 4 finals I still like Jimmy better.......
@SavageArfad Yeah I'm happy to see Jimmy still playing and winning.
Expect for his 10 ranking titles and 30 titles overall!
@@johnmc3862 I still like Jimmy.
Davis was robbed
