A wayward genius as good as any snooker player on his his day. He lacked discipline and that was why Steve Davis was to good for him. Davis himself said the 1 true genius of snooker. At times unplayable and a genius and at other times shit. Loved watching him play. RIP Alex ❤
Even then,,, Ronnies mind set, the way just fell into the Zone, and those last 4 pots, even today i reckon he has not potted 4 consecutive pots like that ever, that was awesome to the tune, you have to laugh...
Love the contrast between Steve's deliberate methodical approach and Stephen's raw attacks, best players this century, along with the greatest Mr. Ronnie O'Sullivan and one of my favourites Paul Hunter.
Roonie Osuvlivian is built to play snooker, no question about that, as Pele for football, Mohammad Ali for boxing, Tiger Wood for Golf. Whata a living legend.
Never seen this. I think i remember around 88 or 87 they played a series of exhibition matches, that were best of 11 i think. I think it was 6 matches and I think Davis won all of them.
Haha its funny Jimmy playing Santa. It's not the only time he handed out presents to Stephen. Two big ones coming in the world finals of 1992 and 1994 🤣🤣
Probably, Davis most likely done it at the 2hour 1 min mark also to leave no pot, is possible he was going for edge.Was a lot of it in them days, good job the miss rule came out or they'd still be doing it.
What a shitty hatchet job on a dead man. This video is disgraceful. Alex Higgins made the sport worth watching. Why don't you make a video on Cliff Thorburn's greatest moments? Because everyone would fall asleep?
And we never heard of Declan again... Looked like a kid playing a pro, bad luck to be in the generation... or now it seems bad luck to be in the same centuary!
I never warmed to him I must say. I'm not sure I'd describe him as 'revolting' - just not a particularly nice person. He forged his own path and refused to listen to others who cared about him. A lesson for us all really.
No he wasn’t lol. He won a couple of world titles and got a bit giddy around the table. A good player with natural ability and a tremendous amount of luck but not even close to the snooker greats.
@@greatdelusion7654 dunno what you're talking about, a genius is a genius in any era, watch 'The impossible Break' a 69 clearance against Jimmy at his 'talent' peak.
@@dav147 No doubt he had a brilliant snooker brain which he fully relied on. He could have been one of the greats but he sadly chose the booze over discipline.
