Jimmy White & Alex Higgins vs John Ditoro & Lou Butera | 1995 Mosconi Cup 

Enjoyable & very entertaining to watch. Great sportsmanship from all players. Nothing wrong with having a beer & a smoke between matches.👍🍻

I remember seeing Machine Gun Lou when I was a kid in the videos that came along with 1995's virtual pool for the PC. Still remember the Canoga Park Curve, blew my mind when I saw him do that the first time. Great to see him in actual match.

love to see snooker legends having fun on pool, thanks for the videos.

They look so friendly and a lot of sportsmanship 👍

OMGGGG THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! More please :) From 1994, and rest of 95.96.97.98.99....... :DDDD Awesome!!!

these are great matches. really grateful to be able to watch them!

i love Alex and jimmy they are just nice I have been watching this match for the past 2 days just by looking at them they are such a nice souls :X:X cheers to them god bless Alex

RIP Lou Butera. 1937-2015 RIP Alex Higgins. 1949-2010

This is absolute entertainment. Alex & Jimmy, such characters 👍

Dude this guys give a full show, the crowd was different from today, this is amazing!

Muy diferente a lo que se ve hoy en día, los jugadores con buen rollo y cervezas… disfruto ambos tiempos pero sin duda se mira más fresco!

They shared an 8th of coke in the dressing room. They're legends right there .

All of them played like a real machine , look how fun they were , really pressure but also the crowd and players enjoyed it.

Outstanding match, great entertainment. ❤️🎱

Mike Massey is such a team player. You can just see the respect between them.

Cigarettes and beer as it should be ha ha. Players having fun in a much friendlier atmosphere than today's game. I enjoy both though.

Thank you for uploading these matches - this was the very first Mosconi Cup that I watched on TV. Would love to see more of the 1995 tournament, and even the 1994 if you have them as I’ve never seen any footage of the very first Mosconi.

Wow, never saw this one! Great upload 👍

Lou Butera is a beast! Omg 😱

what a start!!!

Matchroom have you ever considered a seniors mosconi? Strickland, Archer, Davis, white and others? I think that would be awesome. Thanks for these older videos though

6 commercials in the first 15 minutes is crazy though

Subbed for vintage matches hope you don't disappoint...

Mike Massey lending his cue ( again ) to Alex @9:34 . Awesome sporting gesture, nice guy !

The hurricane should've joined the pool circuit after retirement from snooker

Listen at 18:07 for Sid Waddel saying, off mike, “You are working your f-cking ticket pal”. LOL.

Storm was impeccable in the second match. Truly the best performance in this video, he played immaculate pool with zero errors. Came for Alex and Jimmy, came back for the Storm at the end.😎

to the uploader, how did you know which songs you needed to mute before uploading?

Whirlwind taking a foul on purpose after someone sharked Lou at 21:00 = top bloke

Idc what you think, Lou is the quickest player to hit a table. Man single strokes 8 out of 10 pockets and will split the wicket with the best of em.

Back when Mosconi Cup is Friendly Match Cup

Lou Butera is 58 here, he looks like he's about 90.

3:05 - alex higgens comes out of nowhere

Beer for Jimmy, Bailey's for Higgins, hundreds of cigarettes. Gotta love it!

Europe won in the end, 16 to 15 talk about cutting it close, on the wire as Sid Waddell would say.

Brings back memories enjoying joe

Alex is hammered

👏 16:11 That shot was so diffficult, even the camera got a little nervous and shaky. 😅

Back when snooker players would try their hand at pool.

Got anymore of the 95 Mosconi?

First match was over, and was certain that it woudln't be over that quick when Ditoro was shooting the last ball because the video was so much longer

american Mafia versus European gangsters..what 90's fun!

Lou butera's very entertaining to watch, I wish he would have used his skill in snooker instead

18:07 - Sid at his best lol

I must admit I know very little about pool. Great stuff tho .

Hey, Matchroom. Lou's last name is "Butera". Might want to fix it in the title and description. Thanks.

where's Alex solo match??

The first break is at 4:53 if you want to skip the professional wrestling style intro.

Awesome how they put it on mute whenever they introduce the players

Who’s the geordie commentator? Is it the same guy who does la liga?

Definitely wasn't enough smoke for Jimmy and Alex's entrance.

4:40 If any of player on these days doing that 🚬, that could be the end of his career. 😂😂😂

Back when beer before water

I didn't know baileys was called milkshake

Watching this in 2022 and I was taken aback seeing someone smoke indoors lol. How times have changed.

Como se llama la canción de Alex y Jimmy???

Lou Butera is mustard int he?

To many Ads, what ever happened to 5 sec only Ads?!!

How have I not seen Butera before?! My god, she shoots faster than Strickland. Just watch from 11:25!

Biggest question I have is why did it take Matchroom zo long to post these video's on RU-vid :)

I swear I saw John Dorito

This is how it should be, instead of watching Darren Appleton jumping up and down on the pool table like a football hooligan chav. The standard and enjoyment left pool and especially the Mosconi cup years ago

What was Alex Higgins drinking?

They forgot to mute the home team

So funny how they smoke and drink

did the americans forget to send a team over that year and have to pick out a couple of duffers out the crowd?

8:35 "Alex's hairdresser takes Sunday off!" Jees weird commentary.

Lou « Machine Gun » Butera, not Batera...

2:44 qué hacía ahí el bicho

not even a ball hit, and alex has a snout lit #poolpoetry

Best of 3 sets?

“Prišel je v Derbo in od tam v Listro. Tam je živel učenec z imenom Timótej, sin Judinje, ki je sprejela vero, njegov oče pa je bil Grk. Bratje v Listri in v Ikóniju so imeli o njem zelo dobro mnenje. Pavel ga je hotel vzeti s sabo, zato ga je dal obrezati. To je storil zaradi Judov, ki so živeli v tistih krajih; vsi so namreč vedeli, da je bil njegov oče Grk.” ‭‭Apostolska dela‬ ‭16:1-3‬ ‭SSP‬‬

Who won the Misconi Cup then? This video doesn't show the finish, how rude. 😮

Buckets lol jk

Jimmy and Alex played horrible! But the good vibes made it enjoyable.

Its like watching a game show with all of the shouting and shit. Sounds so forced......because it is.

Always remember to repent of your sins (sin is transgression of YAHUAH’S LAW: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, & Deuteronomy) And Have Belief On YAHUSHA HAMASHYACH. HE Died and Rose three days later so that you can be forgiven of your sins! HE Loves you! Come to HIM!🙂🙂🙂🙂

Those 2 are rinsed, coke must have been rampant back then

Higgins acting like a nice guy when all he really was was a bad drunk
