Most of these shots are rubbish! Watch Ronnie or Judd's shots of 2011 alone and you will find more amazing shots than you see here! Seriously though, its ironic snooker is so much better nowdays but the least popular it has been in 30 or 40 years but in the era of this video (1980s) snooker was at its peak in terms of popularity (second most watched sport after football) despite the standard being, lets be honest, shit.
television was always on the verge of destroying the game...It wasn't television that made it popular in the 70's and 80's. it was the discovery by many that you could be great at the game yourself. Those that knew of the game, , knew through attending matches and reading, not from watching T.V. Pot Black was an exception, because the British have always revered bad television.
@Justdisco2 Probably because the majority of his great shots were exhibition shots, which were done long after he won the frame. By the lists definintion a great shot has to be made under pressure.
Shot G, Ray Reardon, was pretty impressive. But honestly, it just goes to show how far snooker has come, because in the 2011 alone, we saw more incredible shots in major tournaments than ever before. So much more talent these days.

@sierraoscar1990 it was great. At the world championships this year 2011 John Virgo Steve Davis Neal Foulds Dennis Taylor and Ken Doherty recreated classic shots with Michaela Tabb and they found it difficult. I tried it once on my table and it was tricky.
Weird selections. I can think of many really great shots from that era. What about the Perrie Mans pink, where he drilled it in length if the table and screwed back for the black? That was shot of the century! Fred Davis' daring doubled blue in his '78 semi was pretty good too.
Strange selection of shots, many are entirely ordinary - seen in any average frame of snooker. Some unusual ones and good snookers, but not a good list at all for the most part - especially for "Shot of the Decade"...
