Steve Davis gave a great interview
Jimmy always was and always will be my favourite snooker player. I always looked forward to him playing!
I’ve always liked Steve he is a good fella
Good to see Cliff and Terry praising Jimmy. Two true gents appreciating another.
This was really nice thank you for uploading.
Those were the days in the eighties, these were the players to watch. Great upload, thanks.
“There’s more than one way to skin a snooker table.” GENIUS!
You are a legit legend, Liam. I've seen many of your videos now. You get right in there with your camera and film people in a way I've never quite seen before. It's like you catch or reveal the true side of people. You have a remarkable ability to approach famous and interesting people from nowhere and get them to talk to you as if you're all just friends having a nice chat about things I want to hear. Case in point, this video. Famous snooker players happily speaking about Jimmy White. Terry Griffiths in his car about to drive away? Cliff Thorburn on the off chance? That fantastic close up of Steve Davis? This is a beautiful video.
I appreciate that - It isn't about me...it's about the people I interview - I'm just trying to get the story...thanks for your kind comments
Met Jimmy in early 2000 walked into a clothes shop I worked at in Bradford so humble and honest man never forget him
These snooker players are all such lovely people.
I think Jimmy, and Alex, were genius on the green baize, and Mugs at the bar.
Alex Higgins, Jimmy White and Ronnie O Sullivan kept snooker alive.
Legend jimmy & the late alex
Jimmy lifted the game out of boring mode just as Alex did before him, young people who may not have cared for the game would pick up a cue because they watched Jimmy smash a pot in with ease and saw him do things with that cue that other players could simply never accomplish.
Class from Davis.. zzzz listening to the other two
What a class act- Steve Davis
Jimmy is a legend
Jimmy White one word…. Legend…
Cliff the "grinder" thorburn was my favourite player growing up, the Canadian players had a great sense of humour, 🇨🇦
Jimmy is the best personality snooker ever had
what about the jester from leicester???
@@beniteztheconman No, Ronnie and Alex are the only two near Jimmy. Parrot, Paul Hunter, Kirk Stevens were all popular too.
@@Deadeye1967 i was being sarcastic honey. Selby is the only true cure for insomnia. Personality of a snail.
@@beniteztheconman He's not that bad.
Excellent upload Liam,Jimmy was special but Alex nicked it for me!!
INTERESTING
Thorburn looks exactly the same as he did in the 80’s
It's always been a joke in my family: Cliff Thorburn has looked 50 his entire life.
class act i find him intresting
Jimmy was super popular but Alex was the people's Champion by a mile, sorry Steve but i lived through Alex as a teenager and we all shouted 'I'm Alex' when we played pool and copied his mannerisms too! Jimmy we love you too but Alex rightly or wrongly was loved more!
Yeah but alex was a twat sometimes, he was sometimes pretty arrogant and some people actually hated him , nobody hated Jimmy White he was loved by everyone and for a longer. People still queue up to watch him qualify for tournaments.
I've got to ask every true snooker fan to follow the family tree,what I mean by that is grandad snooker was Alex the hurricane higgins,then came dad Jimmy whirlwind white,now it's the son Ronnie the rocket O'Sullivan I would not of watched snooker if it weren't for these 3 great players.if it weren't for the god father snooker wouldn't be where it is now LEGENDS ❤️
P.S I miss Alex so much
I have to disagree with Mr Thorburn on that part on calling foul on your self, i really have !! Its not unusual at all that the players do call foul on their own shot , which is a good thing !! I think snooker is one of the most honest sports we have. The competition is sometimes not the toughest to be fair ! If you look at all the theatre on a foot-ball pitch, Giro de Doping, Tonya Harding, or something with the Russian flag on, and so on !! Those other sports behavior dont take away the fact that snooker is a gentlemans-game , and that is fun to see when it happens !! Cheers…..
So why has Steve Davis not been knighted yet.
Alex "Hurricane" Higgins, was the one and only " People,s Champion" by a country mile, Jimmy is still a great guy . Alex made snooker watchable while he was on planet earth, it's back to as dull as dishwater, put u to sleep stuff .
People call fouls on themselves all the time.
Agreed.
I think Ronnie O. does so frequently.
What Steve says here about football vs snooker I have been saying for years. Football is a shit sport. Sorry. It just is. This game, if you don't want to call it a sport, is a game of integrity.
Dave Tonetti,get in the real world,although i like snooker,football is the sport of the people.Snooker is a sport you watch if jimmy was playing along with higgins and osullivan.Two entirely different sports.Whats most popular?
They were brilliant players but some of the most boring to watch ,Jimmy white was the most exciting player to watch of his time ,everyone was cheering for jimmy,tho Ronnie o sullivan is the best player there's ever been
That depends on what you like. I for one, disagree with you.
I think it would've been a close thing if he'd have actually dedicated himself to snooker and cut out the drink/drugs he could have been the greatest of all time. Most of the greatest talents have personal demons unfortunately whether it he Jimmy, Ronnie or Alex Higgins
no sorry Steve, Alex WAS the peoples champion
3:22 Minge-eyed ginger, "Interesting" Davis manages to bore himself to sleep
Steve Davis has always been jealous of Alex Higgins as a player and his popularity and will talk Alex down whenever he can with the odd decent comment for good measure.
That is highly untrue.
You idi0t. Alex Higgins’ great achievement was to make snooker popular
Tracey i dont think so...when you see how much steve won compared to alex...i hardly think steve would be jealous....
What utter nonsense!
Alex Higgins was his own worst enemy. And EVERYBODY knows it.
He was unpredictable, both in his playing and in his personal behaviour.
Steve Davis was, and is, the consumate professional. He never says a bad word about anybody.
He gave an honest observation of Higgins.
And frankly, if Higgins had emulated Steve Davis, he would have been a better player for it.
3 very boring players, no charisma. Jimmy and Alex were the best.
