Terry Griffiths v Mark Williams WC 1997 - Last 32

[@bmcmillian69]

Started to watch snooker during Terry’s 1979 win. He was a modest newcomer at the time someone you could relate too. Sad to see he’s no longer with us. RIP.

Rest in Paradise Terry.

RIP Terry - a real gentleman of snooker.

[@new_amusements]

Thanks for posting this. Griff should have won this 10-8, what a chance he had in that eighteenth frame. My favourite pro, back in the day.

[@colinsdiecast164customs]

Great to see Grifiths's last match, thanks.

[@parksyist]

Griff what a legend last pro season still qualified for the crucible

Great performance from Terry, how did he not win this match. Played so well

[@propjoe1060]

Griffiths was a nice stylish player to watch, if a little slow. Great pro, and thanks for uploading his last match!

[@paulr6881]

I agree.Seems to be playing quick in this match .

[@mikeharper6892]

Even at the end of his illustrious career he was a match for a youngster. RIP Terry

He is one of Wales greatest sportsmen and a winner of the triple crown and the 1979 champion of the world. I am now in the final RRIP Terry Grithiths OBE Mark Williams is Wales’s second best ever snooker player

[@hensmithers9687]

unlucky Terry...nice that he bowed out at the Crucible and served it up to the young brilliance of williams

[@McElhinney65]

That final pink by Mark was some shot.

[@vincentsmyth4970]

Terry was a far better player than he got credit for, I’m sure his fellow professionals would be testament to that, for someone that hardly practised and won the world championship at his first attempt. Rip Terry Griffiths a very good snooker player and a fine gentleman.

Legend has it Terry hosted price is right after this match

[@MrGloryglorymanutd18]

Griffiths was a good player with great safety and won alot of tournaments which shows he could make the breaks aswell.

32:13 possibly the last time a player was seen on tv to smoke?

[@tobyharling719]

Well spotted - I've been wondering when smoking was banned for players and / or spectators here.

[@davecooke914]

R.i.p Terry great player 👍

[@billygow5349]

how close was Griffiths to winning

[@ewanmacfarlane9195]

Terry had a nice cue action and he wasn't as slow as they make out.I think that was more of just a standing joke.

[@christopherdavis4135]

They called him "the grinder" as a nickname, don't know why though he certainly isn't a slow player here.

[@taff6987]

​@@christopherdavis4135he had the tenacity to grind his way through frames. Those mentally tough players that are hard to put away! He had a great understanding of the whole game to be fair! Great safety player which is super important at any level of the game.

[@joshhodkinson9677]

@@christopherdavis4135I thought it was Cliff Thorburn who was known as The Grinder

[@da_great_mogul]

29:35: he was fast in this match specifically, not normally.

[@DennisHughes-h8b]

Very true. I reckon Steve Davies Eddie Charlton the Aussie player were much slower.
