If I tried that I would've most likely hit my nuts in the back swing and regret not using the rest, lol.

I always feel pity for Jimmy. He deserves one championship :( I just feel that he tended to rush the important shots too much sometimes

Is John Spencer one of the commentators, here?

Perhaps the only video where u will hear Jimmy White being addressed as a young man.. LOL

@GlennGould77 - I went to the crucible in the mid 80's and Embassy were the sponsors. Just about everything to do with the tournament was smoking related ie sponsor freebies etc. I imagine Higgins was probably paid to smoke on TV by Embassy lol. Tobacco sponsorship of sport now seems to be banned in the main.

Two of them won a tag team pool championship before. It's great when greats are great.

First time I see material from Alex Higgins, I was actually searching for a match of the young Jimmy White. Totally amazed to see Higgins smoking during a WC-Semifinal. I didn't even know they were allowed to, then.
