Ronnie O'Sullivan wins World Snooker Championship 2001

[theodorehui]

ronnie, please, back to this form again... i love your old pace

[Sandheaver]

4:40 - this was always the moment I remembered most about this match - Higgins reaction says it all as he knew, despite being 45 ahead, that Ronnie was going to easily clear up from there to win the tournament. That's the kind of form Ronnie was in throughout the tournament - no mistakes and a deserving winner.

I also remember being open-mouthed three years later when Ronnie was in unbelievably better form when he won the 2004 Championship! And I'm not even a Ronnie fan!

[TheTwelfthApostle]

very fitting that theirs 147k plus hit!

[themathsking]

9:29 Ronnie couldn't believe he became the champion

[8Fininho]

09:03 YOU'RE THE GOD OF SNOOKER, YOU'RE RONNIE O'SULLIVAN !!!

[ArsenalTomas]

Prozac made Ronnie win the world championship. Without it, he would have lost in the first round.

[Gafanha97]

LOL Optical Illusion on 07:46

a white ball appears, and when the guy goes ahead, it disappears

sorry by tha bad english of google translator...

[themathsking]

@Gafanha97 It is not an illusion, the second white ball was marked on the screen by the commentator saying that's where the desirable position for the cue ball should be

[21380]

Higgins is an excellent player too. Has nasty reputation for sure, but it doesn´t make him a bad player. Not good idol for anyone but very good player. Second best. after The Rocket!

[MariamMani]

Higgins will always be second best and gay.

[fabiodegani]

I wonder those guys in their youth, trying to explain to their parents that instead of studying to get into university they were playing snooker. I bet now they earn lot more money than I do.

[JLBluewonder]

2 best players make the best finals

[marcusandguitar]

What was the ghastly error? Did something happen in the earlier frames ???

[Busher50]

I always wanted Ronnie to win this match, but It's so much more exciting when it comes down to like the last frame..

[peych4444]

higgins is a match fixer, haha

[mstobberup]

@peych4444 Then this i a terrible fix;-)



[TheJunaid611]

bust ronie,,,,,,,,,,

[Devilfish6666]

[MrWalidcristiano]

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw

[ashman102]

I'm watching ronnie right now against Mark Selby. But Ronnie is playing like dogshit right now. Come on Ronnie activate godmode.

[timur2390]

What a match that was!!!!!!!

I watched it LIVE!!!!!

RONNIE O'SULLIVAN IS THE BEST!!!!!

[japp111]

250.000 pounds?! holy shiat

[andos8888]

both look so young here,gotta love "the rocket"

[bry4n3]

The God.

[freaky1house]

music for my ears... RONNIE IS THE BEST PLAYER EVER...

[ArsenalTomas]

I remember this game, Higgins played fantastically in the 1st day, but after that the Rocket was..... AMAZING!!!

[bonzie88]

Youve no idea what your talking about.

[sparkyinbath]

if ronnie met you, he'd think you were an arsehole.

[kkichuttee]

A misterious white ball appears in the table in 7:48, and dissapear when Ronnie passes in front of it, did you see that?!!

[tejbirsingh]

man that is just nuts ........its not a mysterious ball its just the commentators showin where the que ball shud b after the pink ,,,,,,,,,,,they just marked it on the screen ........

[nietzsche71]

i just love the sound

[nietzsche71]

The Rocket

[lennhart]

INCROYABLE !!

[flynnspiece]

A great thing about watching the greats is how the momentum shifts so quickly. An amateur would shit themselves if their opponent made a 45. For Ron to fully punish John's mistake is true composure.

[SnookerPlanetPT]

This match was marvelous. The last 3 frames were absolutely hearthbreaking: it looked certain that Higgins were closing the match to 14-16, but Ronnie cleared the table with a superb break to be 17-13 in front; after that Ronnie missed an easy match ball and Higgins did a remarkable break to stay in the match. And there's the last frame...

[ChrisvonLuckner]

I really hope John gets the crown a third time.

[Turboginge]

I must say " Thanks " to all you guys who post up these games which otherwise i wouldnt get to see as the Snooker coverage here amounts to the Premier league Snooker and no more.

So Thanks

[Al3639]

motor mouth dennis continues to state the obvious ... him and Virgo ... ffs

[Jonathan130785]

taylor is ok, virgo however is a miserable git.

[789321564abc]

Ronnie `the Rocket` O`Sullivan,nice clearence in the final frame.

[LoafOfPint]

I still get goosebumps watching this. The memories come flooding back.

[NasirAAAA]

No Ronnie has not broken the record he is about 200 behind,Stephen has about 720 odd and Ronnie has about 520 odd tournament century breaks,I think you mean 147's Ronnie has 15 and Stephen has 8,but Hendry was the first master of the 147's before Ronnie and well he set the standards on that front.

[Montana0000]

what a bullshit !!

both player have 8 "147´s"

[NasirAAAA]

Yes sorry my mistake I was actually thinking of the combined total of the 2 before he got one against M Selby and counted 15 between them but if you watched the semi final of the Welsh open Ronnie was on a 147 and got an amazing 143 which in my opinion was as good as a 147.

[dragonballz88]

Ronnie made 9 147s

[Montana0000]

Yes, Now.

[NMtB4ev4]

And so has Hendry.

[NasirAAAA]

Both these players are true snooker legends.I mean my highest break on a full size table is 144,and with Ronnie and the great nugget still playing my love fro snooker still burns but Stephen Hendry was a great canny player and I personally would have loved to have played him you can only learn watching Stephen play but Ronnie he is what i see as a 1 off genius and I hope 1 day he breaks Hendrys record of most century breaks.

[Koman17]

Has he not already broken it?

[goodolt70s]

some of you really do talk drivvel!.ronnie is a tremendous player,but he,s not the greatest.stephen hendrys the greatest ever,7 world titles not mention many many many more!!!!.

[stitcha123]

titles dont neccessarily indicate the greatest player. what is more important is to lok at their highest levels of play. at ronnie's highest level he's untouchable.

[DLPBurke]

exactly

[adrob25]

ronnie osullivan is quite simply the greatest snooker player the world has ever seen, i cant believe he has only won 2 world championships, its criminal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!

[nodyze]

The only thing im able to say: Wow.

[adx1rulez]

Wow incredible. We used to live just around the corner from him and he had a big banner up saying "Well Done Ronnie!" just after he won that world championship.

[valentinTM]

[schwatzwutz]
