I played with Alex once in Queens speakeasy snooker Hall Belfast. Never forget pure gentleman:))). God rest him

What is that knife thing your using called

That last red with the rest was ridiculous. Shame we don’t have a higher quality recording of this genius break.

It’s unbelievable how quickly he turned it into an opportunity for a 147. Truly astonishing.

The Referee in the Parrott match was quite cute!

7:56 - cringe

How wonderful to see Kirk playing once more !

Terrible audio breaking up.

Honest down to earth humble guy whose come back from serious issues,well done kirk

The Sandyman!

I was at this match, AH discharged himself from hospital to play the game. I got to meet him afterwards and had some stuff signed / photos. A shadow of his former self but what a life he led and one of the last true entertainers. RIP.

People must be glad smoking indoors is banned.

'On the white'.

yes I live in Leicester so met willie many times he used to go in the bookies were I used to go a true gent

well done on picking nose just before the answer.

ແມ້ນແທ້ວະ

This is the 4th maximum I’ve seen Ronnie do on KZbin in the last few days, all in some local club somewhere. There must be hundreds of these videos of Robbie casually racking up 147s. The man is an absolute genius.

Virgo....SHUT THE F..LIP UP...Black ball match and you're following Kirk rabbiting in his mug of beer!@

JV...ok mate give it a rest you're spoiling it now. "My commentators eye has gone " shame it wasn't your gob!!

Met them both (Kirk and Cliff) at some strip mall basement in north Toronto, at the Canadian championship. Both great guys.

what’s the prize. a free pint.

Thoroughly enjoyed that. Haven’t seen Kirk play for donkeys

Great player and entertainer. Great looking guy too.

Love watching these. Just wish that jimmy white could find a shirt that fit him in the sleeves. And takes himself way too seriously. He's the only one that never spoke throughout, not like the others joking around. As a player, he had some merit. The best player to never win the world title and all that. The thing with jimmy is, he's a petulant child at times. Seen it before in matches. Chucks his toys out of the pram if things don't go his way and has a tantrum. He never smiles. Always looks like he's on the verge of chucking his cue and storming off. Saw an interview with him once on here, can't stand the bloke. Very immature and very selfish. That's one of the reasons he never won the title. He's always given the impression that the title was his anyway, and 'why haven't I won it yet, surely it's my turn now'...he rushes at the last hurdle and screws it up every time and behaves like a kid. Great player (most of the time). But as a person, don't like the bloke. Never grown up.

All that Alex did on and off snooker he was the best r.i.p Alex ❤

Met Kirk at the CNE snooker tournament in Toronto, we attended a party with The Tony's and John Pullman, Steve Davis Willie. I recall that Kirk wore a tee shirt that said, if this boat is a rockin don't bother nockin. That was august 1978, One month before Steve turned pro

In my humble opinion and it is only an opinion 😊Kirk's 147 was the best of the 147's😊 It may have not been the fastest 147 but it was the best 147 😊

On his day Tony could destroy anyone and he'd do it faster than you could believe. His speed of thought is phenomenal.

Mikeila tabb what a babe

Last time they played 😂. They had 20 professional matches against each other after that final!

Alex Higgins was a drunk and a violent one at that.

Loved this....this is why snooker has not been the same since the 80s & 90s....we dont have these amazing characters and entertainers anymore sadly. Snooker years ago was like somebody grabbed the game, dragged it to the crucible and slapped a tv camera on it. It was new, fresh, exciting and popular. Today there is to much PC culture which has made sport in general so drab & same old same old. What a shame. Better times gone by. At least i got to experience the golden years of snooker.

I'd forgotten how jerky Kirk's cue action was. He still pots OK though.

@41:27 look at higgins, oh dear....why was this even organised!?!?!

@37:37 look at higgins, oh dear

Bloody fan bloody dozy!🎱

This is why snooker went mental in the 70s and especially the 80s.....it was because we had genuine characters. There was someone for everybody to love and support. My man was Jimmy White, its him who inspired me to learn the game & a great game it is too. Such fond memories tucking into my small single bed in the boxroom with my 14" portable tv at the end of the bed at my feet. I remember my mother letting me stay up really late to watch the final between Hendry & Williams when Hendry bottled it over the middle bag. Being a welshman i was bouncing for Williams to win it. Those were the days. Hetty weinthrope investigates followed by the snooker. Nostalgic as heck. Loved it🥰

I seem to remember every ball of that 147, especially the green. Watched it in a guesthouse in Donegal, Ireland, and the landlady was yelling at the TV, Go On KIrk! Go on Boy! I think we were all yelling and on the edge of our seats!

they just dont make them like this anymore . Alex Higgins what a player missed and never forgotten .

Saw these two and John Spencer at the city commercial club in Manchester. Alex was electric His cue bent when he hit the white so hard.will never forget it.also used to see him around town sometimes in the loos taking a pee.he was a ....buy still loved him.

Sad.Unfortunately he was his own worst enemy.

Discharging yourself from hospital when you're near the end, in order to play snooker is the most Alex Higgins thing you can possibly do. There's only one Alex, only ever will be.

I was so happy to see all snooker stars paying respect to Alex and the way his funarel was organised thanks to all involved Alex deserved best of oner 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Why jack the volume of the coughing up here? Alex and Cliff played a great 1980 World Final together. Better than the 2024 final!

Rip Alex thanks for the memories growing up in the 80s 😎🙏🎱

How come everywhere online I find people bashing Elkmaster pro tips as being way too soft etc, yet most of the best snooker players in the world use them...?

Loves his mom.

R.I.P Alex, you was loved by so many x

I feel so bad for him that his cue broke :-(
