Alex Higgins & White Mosconi Cup - Final Set.

[SimpVeggie]

That guy jim wych is commentating in every single pool match ever played in the history of the sport broadcast in English speaking countries. Who is he, Doctor Who?

[movement26]

5.58 Alex takes a well earned slurp of the black stuff.

[75freeman]

I have been watching the musconi cup this year & seen these 2 legends together in a short clip from the past & had to look it up. WHAT A TEAM. thanks for posting it was amazing stuff.

[MrConnolly25]

@75freeman Have you seen the American's swearing at team Europe?

[75freeman]

@MrConnolly25 Yes it was shocking, i couldn't believe what i was hearing. They are supposed to be Pro's but acting like that shows lack of respect, but funny anyway.

[bigcherry99]

so undignified to seeing Alex Higgins the greatest snooker player of all-time playing a low-class game like pool

[TheLwebber69]

[tibojones]

@JakDa88 exactly so it just goes to show that fundamentals dont mean shit

[JakDa88]

Snooker players have excellent fundamentals but in the '05 World Pool Masters 9-ball Championships snooker players Steve Davis, Tony Drago and Ronnie O' Sullivan all got beat by a 17 year old.

[8down10]

@JakDa88 yes but if he was to play them in snooker, he would get more than beat

[ireallyhatenoobs]

@8down10 you cannot tell. not because they are a snooker players and they fight against a pool player in a snooker match it doesn't mean they will automatically win. you dumbass.

[8down10]

@ireallyhatenoobs well you cant say for certain, but the odds of a pool player beating a snooker player in snooker, while possible, is about a couple of thousand to one

[kinkokonko]

White & Higgins

[MatthewDavidParr]

It would have been awesome to have been there. I prefer snooker as a game but you don't get an atmosphere like this.

[sayhileh]

A sweep by the snooker players, nuff' said

[BlockedParty]

snooker players wipe the floor with 9 ball pool players, its soo easy for them. Snooker takes skill, in 9 ball you can hit a shot, it will hit the cusion 6 inches from the pocket and still go in!

[pistolpeeroy]

@BlockedParty MASSIVE AINT THEY SON.

[ireallyhatenoobs]

@BlockedParty you retard it's not always a runout. snooker player's even can't keep up with safety battles against pool players -___-

[BlockedParty]

@ireallyhatenoobs

put a 9 ball pool player on a snooker table and see how well he would do you stupid cunt

[FunnySkatersPuga]

massey is UGLY

[StFidjnr]

jimmy white is in a hurry to get to dinner

[nerdmurderer]

That's what happens when snooker players play pool.

[n900able]

Great upload, cheers



[OnePastMidnight]

If 1980s Alex and 2000s-2010s Ronnie could team up...

[iamthemusicman123]

Great to see two snooker legends having fun, R.I.P Hurricane.

[Nothinglastz]

7:43 the two boys saw themselves on the tv XD

[lucabbbbb]

they were definitely play for fun. 3 racks in 9 minutes, not bad!

[ommadawn54]

Absolute brilliant stuff,two LEGENDS of snooker doing the job,great to see them having a good time,EPIC!!

[ommadawn54]

Hey Monteh20,your an idiot!

[maidenscreams]

R.I.P Hurricane

[LEGIONARIVS18]

I play pool better after a couple of beers....

[MrSmartComment]

what is that word? oh yeah ... OWNAGE

[pistolpeeroy]

ID LOVE TO SEE THIS MATCH ON A SNOOKER TABLE..

WONDER WHO WOULD WIN?!

[Montyh20]

@pistolpeeroy pool players can't pot a ball unless the pocket is half the size of the table

[pistolpeeroy]

@Montyh20 HA I KNOW SON, YANKS CANT QUITE GET THE HEAD ROUND SNOOKER POOR BUGGERS...

[alexacru]

@Montyh20 the fk is wrong with u snooker trolls...how come only TOP snooker players play 9 ball ( wich is the most aproachable of pool games) and they need luck to win even in a short race...pool it's a different discipline and it requires a different set of knowledge. And just how retarded are u , it's obvious they would win on a snooker table.Pool is about medium to long races case in wich no top snker player stands a chance against a top pool player and they all admit it. All but u fktards

[MrPlaystation95]

@alexacru ye orite m8 any decent snooker player will trash the BEST pool player. FACT!

[TheStrokeofGenious]

@MrPlaystation95 You are really really ignorant. 9ballpool.co.uk click on daryl peach's interview and look at question 7. You snooker snobs are so freaking annoying. Not players. I'm a snooker player myself but honestly, the ignorance from youtube commentors talking about how trash pool is really gets on my nerves. They're completely different games.

[MrPlaystation95]

@TheStrokeofGenious ino they are different games but pool players think they are better than snooker players so you brought this on yourself.

[TheStrokeofGenious]

@MrPlaystation95 It goes both ways. I respect both games but just look at the youtube comments. Every other vid there's some kid going "snooker is so much better than pool just because it has smaller pockets and the table is bigger". I love both games which is why I'm watching the hurricane play some 9 ball.

Your comment is reversed. I believe far more snooker player believe they're better. What makes you think so many pool players believe they're better than snooker players?

[MrPlaystation95]

@TheStrokeofGenious because they do. i am watching this vid for a different reason to you, TO WATCH THE HURRICANE KICK SOME POOL PLAYERS' ASS!!!!!!

[TheStrokeofGenious]

@MrPlaystation95 "Because they do" great argumentative skills and logic. Every time I see Alex Higgins in a youtube video title, I know I'm in for something special. I was hoping to see him do something spectacular as well, though I'd like to think my attitude and respect for his opponents was a little.... more mature than your approach?

[MrPlaystation95]

@TheStrokeofGenious nice one

[Montyh20]

@alexacru calm down, i was joking. however in my view snooker is a very well balanced game requires an all round billiards game to play it. i don't mean that 9 ball is not a great game of billiards just saying at a purist level it not as well rounded as snooker, from my experience watching and playing.

[psychedelicard]

9:24

[rajdme]

Legends... True Hustlers!

[damob08mcfc]

[181088]

[bilkomax]

I'd love to see the interview with Jeff Stelling afterwards again

[RyanWatchesNaruto]

[DaXBLscumbag94]

[J4YM5]

[RobertoWatchin]

at 8:03 now thats a picture i wanna remember

[Alceste1977]

Jimmy White's reaction, on about 6 minutes, is a picture, it's like "stop taking the piss, Alex".

[dazvinci]

micky mouse yanks. jimmy and alex,just shown you how easy it is to win a simple game.you hi break off at 9 ball and leaave pool? how can you yanks think that a sport? so i break off at 9 ball ,i leave a 1 9 combi.you pot. end of sport.

[vafangulu3x]

its like watching a bar match, horrible

[themufc1999]

I remember watchin this live when i was 13 or 14. Great to see it here. Class. Nice one jjddww12345.

[cavemanproduction100]

Great entertainment, feel like your playing with them ! If only the Americans potted that double in the 1st rack ! jimmys face when alex snookers himself just for fun, then trebled the 9B just 2 show how it's done lmao o the drink, fags, trophies, where did it all go wrong lol shows how much they enjoyed playing doubles together, like their snooker days. Complete legends !! Bet they enjoyed the brief hangover !

[116clearance]

god bless jimmy 4 tht, pool aint shit and they shitted all ova yo game, past it and WAY past it= win... wtf?

[kark007]

Great entertainment, from two greats

[abhinav333]

It's so awesome to hear the crowd cheer for Jimmy!

[liquidplastic62]

Doesn't seem that long ago. How i envy those guys. The laughs they've had together - and success.

Wine, women, wonga etc. Sob!

[McElhinney65]

I would suggest that Sid Waddell knows more about nuclear fusion than he knows about cue sports. His nickname should be "thrush".

[RulerRyze]

Higgins is well tipsy!

[DrLanceAngry]

like that dance Alex did when White did the combo.

I might start doing that. :)

[kamikazeVX]

So much fun...u can smoke n drink back in those days..only made the game even more fun..damm!

[zenitius]

@kamikazeVX

and then die from it.

[kamikazeVX]

@zenitius  well,yeah.LOL

[plasticbudgie]

lol what a pair of legends seriously snooker needs more characters like these but i never knew Higgins play pool

[michaelvkelly1]

maybe it was a series of matches also involving non UK players?

[plasticbudgie]

Well should have said UK because Alex is from Northern Ireland i could understand if he was from Ireland, and Jimmy is from England so it should say UK .

[michaelvkelly1]

yeh i get your point there, im just saying, maybe there were a good few players in it all playing different doubles matches but all representing europe. and it just happens to be these two UK players together in this match, just a theory.

[plasticbudgie]

hehe fair enough pal! :P

but its America for goodness sakes :P they'll always have there name in brightly lightened colours :P Take it easy pal :P

[ROCKETRICH72]

didnt even realise alex played pool amazing

[FOXSTOTT]

They don't make em like Jimmy and Alex anymore...

[kamikazeVX]

Amen to that..brother...amen.

[tedlpool]

beating yanks at their own game---legends

[phixxwutwut]

@tedlpool sloppy run out, complete luck. legends.

[Taurus2May]

@tedlpool

What can be better than that?

[TheStrokeofGenious]

@tedlpool 9ballpool.co.uk. Interview w/Daryl peach. Question 7.

[ravingeddie]

sounds like geordi darts commentator to

[thegoodnamesrallgone]

pity they dont have more doubles matches in snooker

[tosleeptodreamtowake]

First thing Alex does after his cross-double victory is run to finish his beer, not allow Jimmy to congratulate him. Higgins as we know him.

[tosleeptodreamtowake]

At 5:48, by the way

[ugluspegill]

You're right on it.

[Noah97]

White loved that double on the 9 in his pool days. Cant count the number of times he won that way. legends.

[forcefollow]

The double bank is the showmanship cue sports needs. Thanks for posting.

[cuemaxx]

That was a fluke.
