John Higgins - the Wizard of Wishaw (fanvideo)

some clips and pics about John Higgins
It's my first video, so don't be so hard to me ;) ^^

about him:
John Higgins (born 18 May 1975, Wishaw, North Lanarkshire) is a Scottish professional snooker player.
He turned professional in 1992, compiling 399competitive centuries to date, including five 147 breaks. In his career thus far, Higgins has won a total of 19 ranking tournaments.

His first tournament victory came in 1994 when he beat Dave Harold 9-6 in the final of the Grand Prix. He followed his victory in the Grand Prix by claiming the British and International Opens in 1995, making him the first teenager to win three ranking events in a single season.

Higgins career highlight to date has been winning the World Championship on two occasions in 1998 and 2007; both times, this feat ensured that he finished the season with World number one status.

In the 1998/99 season, he clinched the UK Championship with a 10-6 win over Matthew Stevens, and the Masters, again beating Doherty.
Higgins was to remain at the top of the rankings for three years a 9-8 victory over Williams in the Grand Prix final in 1999, served to consolidate this position. Although he claimed the UK Championship in 2000 for a second time, defeating Williams by a margin of 10-4 in the final, the end of the 2000/01 campaign saw him displaced as World number one by the Welshman.

At the beginning of the 2001/02 season, Higgins became the first player to win the opening three tournaments of a season: the Champions Cup and Scottish Masters (both invitational events), and the British Open.

In the 2005 Grand Prix final, Higgins beat Ronnie O'Sullivan by a margin of 9-2, and in doing so, became the first player to record four consecutive centuries in a match in a ranking tournament with breaks of 103, 104, 138 and 128 in frames 7 to 10, and scored 494 points without reply which was the greatest number in any professional snooker tournament.

Higgins reached a further two finals in the 2005/06 season, narrowly being beaten by Ken Doherty and Mark J. Williams in the Malta Cup and China Open, respectively. A shock loss to Mark Selby in the first round of the World Championship did not prevent him from regaining a top four ranking position at the end of the season.

In October 2008 he had a successful run at the 2008 Grand Prix, eventually going to the final where he played Ryan Day. Higgins was comfortable in the afternoon session, and was leading 7-2 until an amazing come-back from Ryan Day took the score to 8-7 to Higgins. Higgins, just, held his nerve and won the final 9-7.

Well done, a good video. At first I thought it was a bad choice of music, but then I realised it was Scottish music like him (okay he's not music but you know what I mean), and now I think the music really suits it!
