@circesprophecy it's because the maximum break in snooker is 147 points. For any snooker fan or player it's the magic number because it means a flawless performance.
I remember this match vividly and Higgins was pretty tetchy the whole match. I think Bob Chaperon went onto win his one and only ranking tournament....correct me if I am wrong anyone!
Alex, you are truly one of the 3 legends to come from that era of snooker, with Davis and White being the other 2, and I feel the rest were just hanger oners, I truly believe White and Higgins brought the razzmatazz into snooker, as until then I would never have even bothered to watch it, just an old mans game. We all wish you well Alex, and your legacy is a lasting and inspired one, even with all of your antics.........

Total genius but total scatterhead too. Tried that with John Williams but Williams told him to get on with it! I used to hate the dramatic jump up from shots like his opening shot here or the way he would twitch up the cue for extra effect on stun or screw shots. Can't help to say he sure made it interesting back then.
Snooker is dying with out characters like Alex, he brought great drama with him, as for the tit who called him a loser, he was a genius , he revolutionised snooker . .

I didn't follow snooker back then, so I do not have a clear picture, but he's certainly doesn't appear to be a nice chap.

They usually made sure John Williams or Len Ganley refereed Higgins' games.

@14721mark I wonder what Michaela Tabb thought of him in the seniors!!
I'm sure she could handle him, and so would Jan Verhaas and Eirian Williams.

@athull08 yeah m8 she said he was her hero, but when Higgins was playing in the seniors against Thornburn he was waving his cue about like maddy.
