That black he potted in the final scene there would be the one to complete the 145 break he made in the semi-finals against Ray Reardon. It set a new record at the time for the highest break at the World Championship. The late Willie Thorne made a 143 against Hurruicane Higgins in the quarter-finals in the 1982 World Championship and then of course Cliff Thorburn made the first maximum 147 against Terry Griffiths in the 1983 World Championship. RIP Doug and Willie - two of the game's master breakbuilders.
Brings it back...Higgins ran it then...can see his charisma on these clips,Griff and Cliff boring as ever,had characters then as men were real,not clones
