Jimmy White v Steve Davis 1981 World Championship

[@SnookerFan-kl1jj]

Jimmy's cue action was superb here. Very compact and fluid, shame he tampered with it in his later years as it probably cost him some of his timing.

[@matthewphilip1977]

Aye, I was saddened to see him mess with it. And watching him now is just painful.

[@spleeeen4it]

David vine, what a class act.

[@alanchamberlain9902]

That opening is as legendary seeing a young Davis and all the old school players. Game is much more serious nowadays. The days of characters are gone bar Ronnie really and maybe Selby as the modern grinder.

[@unclequack5445]

Steve Davis one of the true legends of the game.

Sits down and has a cig. Good old days.

The nugget loved his Space Invaders etc.

[@wayneholmes6460]

I used to teach him how to play video games in Blackpool in the 80's..

[@gaywest4298]

Jimbo without his wig. Great days.

[@doctorsocrates4413]

In the 80s getting to a final wasn't an issue...beating davis was the major issue...jimmy so very deserved a world title and it was always taken from him by steve...both great players.

[@johnhalley974]

Notice the way it used to be…Straight ties for daytime sessions and Dickie bows for the evening…Whatever happened to that protocol?

Jimmy back then was perhaps the ultimate example of an amazing potter who came unstuck against a granite match player.

Wow unique rare video even the BBC wouldn't have found :D

[@stanleyharrison7031]

Davis plays like a cyberman next to Jimmy, what a genius young player shame Alex Higgins did his head in in 82

[@MrMartinmozz]

great bit of history ty

[@AlonsoRules]

those tables are slow

[@147peter]

Nice video very rare

[@uzzieuzziel4030]

Wow

[@damienspurs147]

Great video 👏 Have you any Tony Knowles matches?

[@mjt_snooker1704]

sadly, no. Got some Griffiths, Alex Higgins, Reardon videos coming shortly.

[@wayneholmes6460]

Just type on Tony Knowles snooker matches in " KZbin "

[@distantthunder12ck55]

Hadn't realised Tony Knowles was a professional as early as 1981.

[@jamesadcock5235]

What a clearance Jimmy was special nobody cues like Jimmy. Just made a few too many mistakes that cost him. I think he was more of an entertainer than a champion but he had a lot of success must be top 5 players ever

[@allthekingshorses7178]

Unfortunately when it came to the world championship final White just didn't have the ruthlessness, bottle and sheer bloody mindedness of Hendry.

[@ianwilliamson2980]

Jimmy should have won this match and the championship he messed up his position play here badly .handed it to Davis on a plate .

[@andyhumphrey9351]

1 of the biggest match fixes in snooker when steve blitzed em all in 1981 comes back in 82 and loses 10-0 1st round to tony knowles yeah right. i wonder what the odds were lol.

[@kevinmunday5782]

nah steve hated losing, true pro. If it had been fixed, it would not have been 10--0 .just one of those bad days all top sports people experience.....

[@andyhumphrey9351]

to lose 10-0 even if steve played left handed he would of won 1 lol.@@kevinmunday5782

[@jamesmcgrath578]

Tony Knowles beat Steve Davies 10-1 not 10-0

[@andyhumphrey9351]

still a match fix.@@jamesmcgrath578

[@dean147uk]

@@andyhumphrey9351 really? Are you going to back up your ridiculous "match-fix" comments with some kind of proof? No, thought not. Now jog on...
