It's the upside-down lady's glasses for me.

Awesome. Can't wait for part three to come out..

I recently started watching snooker after remembering that I enjoyed watching it as a young boy. I became curious about its history so did a search and this video came up. It's wonderful.

Taylor would have been there, errm, all night if the miss rule was about, especially on that yellow he was snookered on. That brown to pink was phenomenal. The safety was decent, whereas the rest of the frame while in with a chance was very poor quality.

If only Alex had of conducted himself a little better he'd have definitely won at least 2 more world championships but winning 2 is still a great feat rip the peoples champ you was 100% entertaining ❤

All hail the tobacco merchants! Truly, as stated, a “force for good” in the world.

Got to admire Steve for doing this.

2:39 Wow, they said Stephen Hendry invented shots, that's very good 🙂

Cool, badass, awesome intros for both Stephen Hendry and Ronnie 🙂

Before his cue broke, when Hendry was in his prime.

I’m here after just struggling through watching Wilson v Jones final in 2024. That hardly feels like progress after dipping into this …

Well into the eighties the cameras had this weird purple flanging halo effect.

37:14 weird perspective??It looks like there’s a red ball on the top of the bunch of reds 👀😮

I had this very thing happen to me playing a game of eight ball. My ball fell long after I shot and just before my opponent was just about to strike the cue ball !

Very talented man. R.I.P Paul Hunter. We will always remeber and miss you😢

The Davis & taylor final is up there as the greatest final ever tbh. Imagine being there!

This was the reason why I became a really big Snooker Fan, back in 1985

terrible from green 2 brown seemed like it was on a wet cloth'

I had a 15 pink ball game here I was dead to the rail with a DEAD on yellow on its spot 1 OF THE BesT efforts of My amatuer CAREER' I NEVER hit a ball better in my life then on that effort'

The masters was never the same after B&H were forced to end their sponsorship. Hearn and his Allypally make you sick to the stomach.

God bless u the master Paul Hunter.

Saudações do Brasil! Paul Hunter viverá sempre e brilhará entre nós admiradoes, seus amigos e seus familiares, etc.

This is the best final that i saw on T.V. Also i stayed up all night to see this live !!! The suspense, the climax, and two great players who played with there soul !!! L.M.

Sending him home too his sad little life in Essex

the one @2:00 massive target and tried to glance it!

How many other sports had the 1948 World Champion played the 2022 World Champion in a competitive match?

Miss, failure to contact an object ball with the cue ball. Result, successful snooker and ball in hand to other player. ONE chance ONE fail One ball in hand. Would stop the intentional miss.

Snooker has come a long way, been playing since the mid sixties, still playing, love it immensely, known all the characters since Joe Davis, the 70's were the starting post for this DERBY, thank you Alex, Cliff, Steve, Stephen, Kirk, Ronnie and the rest.

What is with all the coughing? Sounds like a bloody leper colony in there

Ultimately, _IN EVERY SPORT,_ there's going to be a time at some point where it comes down to the interpretation of the rules by the ref. And that's when they get bribed / you check bank balances

Hendry was having a shocker by his standards in 1999 until he got to the crucible when he entered GOD mode.

I never thought we 1:02:40 would see someone better than the great Steve davis. But along comes hendry then osullivan who took it to another level.

I'd forgotten about that near 147 - totally gutted watching that, the pink was tricky but not that hard for O'Sullivan.

This well done, can't believe I only found it now.

What a great looking trophy better than the new one😊

Why is it Hendry vs Ronnie and not Hendry vs O`Sullivan?

o’sullivan is my favorite but he never reached a peak like hendry did when he won worlds 6/7

shame they don't have that at the Crucible any more

I think you'll see Ronnie back in the final this year, John, unfortunately does not stand a chance

Amazing to see winner and loser together in studio at the end , wont get that anymore

SOS GRANDE KIMURA

The story of this final was John Higgin's brilliant safety play, getting in, breaking down before snookers required and Ronnie clearing up.

Shame Jimmy White never won a World Championship, he looked likely to clear up on the last frame against Hendry. Going for a straight forward black, the moment he is cueing someone in the audience @10:12 coughs . . . did that put him off?? To cough or make any noise at that precise moment in time seems to me intentional. Anyone else have thoughts on this? ?

Snooker was so different back then very British and still popular. John Parrot looking very young and also Ronnie/Higgins.

Steve Davis's closing line should have been "yeah it was in black and white." This statement would have tied the beginning of the first video with the second as snooker was first filmed in black and white!

Is that the fastest 146????

I forgot how bad colour TV used to be, even in the 90s. 😂 Everything looks like either reds or whites 😅

A black ball win by Williams is hardly a great win that's luck. Just like Taylor's win against Davis in the worlds.

Roni, it s magic
