[smith077906]

[matthewgwilt]

Fucking brilliant

[MoRcH786]

Lol PAUSE AT 0.35

[Mjolbaggar]

Cocanie a lot?

[paddy519]

Baked a cake has never been so appropriate. Hurricane is baked....baked..... baked-baked!

[ludocrat]

Jimmy White: telling nostril snufffle (0.28) and the paranoid swiveling eyes (always just off the pace) of the committed cokehead

Alex Higgins: always one short away from tears before bedtime and the enforced land of nod.

True nutters.

[colavfc70]

absolutely off his tits alex.

[paddy9i99]

If I knew you were coming "I WOULD HAVE TAKEN SOME COKE"

[wonittwice]

@radabminj PMSL.. Thanks mate, would never have spotted that if you hadn't pointed it out.. LOL

[bigfist255]

higgins could'nt hit a ball until he had at least 4 pints of the black stuff and 40 fags.

[Mrtruthfulspeaks]

if u look carefully jimmy hand is behind Alex chair and Alex hand is next to his crotch.

it just seems like jimmy hand is next to Alex crotch when you first glance at it dont get it twisted 0:36

[MrGloryglorymanutd18]

[KoivuTheHab]

Alex sounds pretty gay... Not the song but what he says the first 20 seconds.

[codeinestation]

What a pair of absolute leg ends!

[RationalThinker1859]

"You really can never tell with Alec can you."

It's Alex, Dickie, Alex...

[booski]

Speeding off their tits :-)

[Archiesquaddy]

This is a great interview... Jimmy and Alex. Jimmy was his true friend until the end

[ribhkum]

now that i think about it alex really did bring snooker from small snooker halls to the world stage !!

[MrIrishrover2010]

why is he putting on an english accent lol

[Doderhultarn89]

Man, take a look at Jimmys eyes. Cocaine

[forcefollow]

Classic stuff. Jimmy coked to the gills and Alex completely slammed. The song at the end is classic.

[locsman]

alex is a fucking legend

[xgs724]

he probably needed toilet because he drinks so much booze

[fuzzdemon]

legends

[simonellson]

Very good. What more could you ask for, great snooker, great chat & entertainment

[StevieJ72]

lovely clip - just the good ole boys, never meanin no harm.......

[snookerjam]

drunk or high, i really dont care i just absolutely love these two players..they are something special and many times i dream i was young in their prime time¨and had a lot of mony could just drink and follow them all the time until my heart stopped and i could die with a smile!!

[smokinallthebud69]

LOL the rollercoaster of cocaine.................

Jimmy looks like a cock suckin freddie mercury wannabe in this haaaaa

[zulu2829]

@smokinallthebud69 you cracked me up mate, thats so funny!!!!

looking at him now you are fucking right!!!!!LOL

[smokinallthebud69]

@zulu2829

LMFAO i bet he has sucked a few black balls in his time aswell

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

[simongood3]

alex and jimmy had proper styleonly ronnie comes close

[kark007]

Alex is a true snooker genius. The World semi-final in '82 against Jimmy was top class.

[weeswan]

I agree snooker is not the same without the characters, one funny thing though look where Jimmy's hand appears to be at 34secs....

[simongood3]

@weeswan ha ha i noticed that too looks like he' s touching alex pink ball!!!

[allister1964]

I remember watching this at the time. Alex was so unpredictable, and inspired me to take up snooker in late 1978.

[BAMBOOLOUNGE]

have u potted any balls since?

[LiamGreenhorn]

Higgins - total legend. Pity he was a complete waster too. Read his autobiography, and the biography. Very interesting and talented guy. Could have won 5/6 world titles if he had the right mentality.

[forcefollow]

Both were slammed, but when has alex ever been sober? How well would both have played if clean? Shameful waste.

[GooseGreen82]

I have that book Mulhollandi.Good read.But here,Alex was roaring drunk( as usual) Totally pissed right out of his head... Jimmy was coked up to the eyeballs,no doubt about it.

[mulhollandni]

I dont know about Jimmy, but higgins was drunk!  He wasnt into drugs! Read his bio, the eye of the hurricane!

[wibeseeker]

classic days...

apart from the rocket, snooker has no real characters these days.

[vr120]

They were drunk or stoned lol. Would be awesome if those two were still around in the big tournies of today.

Alex made snooker big. So dont go calling him an idiot

[ComfortablyNumbed]

Nope.. not drunk or stoned.

Coked to the gills.

[marti32]

shut up u twat, he was pissed. coke werent really about then n u dont slur on coke. CLIENT

[ComfortablyNumbed]

You fucking idiot.

Coke WAS around back then, and they both confessed to being heavy users.

Did you not notice Jimmy White gurning and licking his lips??

Classic characteristics of a coke head.

Clearly you are a naive silly little retarded child who has never touched a drug in his life, otherwise you wouldn't make such stupid remarks.

Don't bother replying, you're a waste of skin.

[5starsnitskymatch]

haha... only in the 80s. incredible.

[vinnothelizard]

dummies , uneducated pricks and to think that people loved them!! what does that say? wankers they are!

[chrisadams1982]

What an idiot! I really hate Alex Higgins. An all round entertainer my arse!! That is unless you enjoy watching some moron punching people and acting like a total prick. And he was a shite snooker player.

[lennyfoot72]

why did u watch

[Voxac100b]

He was the man who brought snooker into its glory days of the 70s & 80s. Have a look at the clip of him with John Virgo potting a very difficult pink and then a black with one hand - amazing.

[schwatzwutz]

what a character! i really like alex higgins!

[0TedMaul0]

f'kinell you could ski down the pile of coke those two have just done.

[PomBare]

Can you imagine a Stephen Hendry or Matthew Stevens getting up infront of Hazel and performing a song and dance like that? Without Ronnie I don't think I could bare to watch snooker these days

[paddythetinker]

true ronnie is the only character these days

[Voxac100b]

Agreed some of the players now have the personality of a stone.

[dhollseed]

great spot, except i don't think it's an illusion...what a pair, ay?

[gab99]

this should have been done in a bar! Jimmy looks like Jimmy Page of Led Zep!

[international2009]

Alex - "Well i think we don't have alot to say to each other apart from what we might be doing afterwards" LOL! ..Legend!

[quietman18]

Alex - an all round entertainer,lol.

[McElhinney65]

If I Knew You Were coming I'd have brought some coke, brought some coke, brought some coke...

[dhollseed]

unmistakeably coked, coked, coked.

[spacecowboy006]

they are tore up!

[funkybassman2020]

Press "Pause" at 0:36

Dickie demonstrating a hand shuffle, Alex grimacing, Jimmy pointing to his own as well as... Class act!

[ComfortablyNumbed]

LOL Jimmy white looks so coked there, look at him gurning and sniffing

[innit27]

hahahah Can you imagine a sportsmen doing that on live telly today?

[GooseGreen82]

That he did.I can quite certainly state that Alex was absolutely steamboats in this clip!

[gushing123]

brilliant goose great memories he liked his drink

[lesduffy]

Haha, funny at 2:35... Alex "Well....." and Jimmy kinda jumps 2 seconds later.  lol.

[Alex0paul]

00:34, whats Jimmy doing with his hand?

[VirgLondon]

ha ha, nice one, maybe jimmy was warming his hand up, might have been a bit cold in the studio but worth pausing on 0.34

[ISBAILEYDEADYET]

I remember watching that live (or almost as it were) as i used to love Higgins, White was a favorite too. I would have been 12 and god only knows what they got up to after that game. It would have involved shit loads of cocaine and booze though i reckon. Its a cunt they both got cancer at different times in their lives. Both beat it though. True fighters.

[VirgLondon]

ha ha, so higgins didn't just have silky skills on the snooker table, nice moves and as mkgp says, both pissed!

[snookasus]

funny :)

[Roflaids]

How do doubles work? They play 1 shot each?

[mkqp]

They both look hammered.

[geekyviking]

It would be very surprising indeed if Alex wasn't.
