He was a wonderful potter and shot maker but Higgins' snooker brain and tactical play isnt often spiken about.He read the table so well.I think it was Davis who said Higgins would watch his opponent and see their shots.
It is clear to me that the pockets on this table are way smaller than on the Chinese Star tables used today.Higgins also put more passion into the game than most of the British players lots of body English as well
Or Ronnie vs Selby. Selby or Endon play what I call anti snooker. Time limits should be introduced to get rid of these type of players who slow the game on purpose and kill the flow.
Alex Higgins and the sponsors wish to make a 1970s health statement - Stay in the pink (cough, cough DRAG off cig COUGHHHHHHH-H-H) with ciggys and a drink! I remember in the 80s in clubs you could slice the smoke in the air with a knife into cubes because of how many smoked. Lol!
The great genius Alex Higgins sadly missed by all of his fans 💯💯💯
I’m glad the camera work has improved over the years
Will always be the greatest in my eyes
The Greatest. RIP CHAMP
Alex. Could have won so much more , the only reason he didn't was Alex himself
Yeah 100% should have won the world title in 1980, UK in 1982 and of course the 1987 Masters.
He still won all the triple crown events worlds masters and the uk

Thorburn hated Higgins and refused to give him fuck all
Many hated Higgins and had reason to. Genius on the table, vile off it
They disliked each other. So was Cliff just to bend over for Alex?
If i'm correct, this would very much be like Ronnie O'Sullivan vs Peter Ebdonof today?

Total ballix. You know nothing about snooker, like most Ronnie fan boys.
I the Masters Coughing Championship taking place in the next room over??!! It's unlistenable!
In that time smoking was acceptable.
The irony is the sponsor, the majority of that audience was puffing a pack of Bensons each day based on those smokers coughs
Alex Higgins smoking during the match was almost like free advertising for Benson and Hedges.

Commentary by "Whispering" Ted Lowe.
So no one until this point I’ve got to learn even how to play the game yet so
I bet Higgins ended up in bed with a bottle of champagne and all of those beauties. What a legend.
They should bring back garlands :)
*checks to see if video is sped up, nope
Perhaps the coughing comes from Benson & Hedges smokers .
They banned smoking advertising.
Now every tournament is sponsored by gambling companies
Three thousand pounds for winning the masters , how times have changed.
What could 3,000 pounds have bought then? Probably a decent house
Uu
3 grand was a lot of bunce back in those days.
Не , ну щас получше играют . Зато раньше под сигаретку и вискарик , один кайф !
What kind of jerk plays on with 6 snookers required? That's embarrassing!
Ronnie Own's Alex HigginZ 🎄
Alex Higgins died 10 or more years ago
The amount of bad coughs 😬😬
A lot of heavy smoking in those days.
Ill show you how to properly upload this free of charge if you want. so you dont upload squashed or stretched videos in the future
SPEAK UP REF.😅
Better than ronnie
Too much cigarette coughing !!
Was like watching pool... I love higgins but this was a poor final
Ronnie could beat either of them several times ...
Most overrated player of all time.
100% mate everyone goes on about him like he was amazing! The guys shit
@Wayne Anthony Holmes urm I think 1982 semi final penultimate frame was the best break in snooker history
@Wayne Anthony Holmes Ronnie in 2020 semi final was out of this world ✋
@Wayne Anthony Holmes love that vid of him n virgo
