World champion

[Nina]

I can only assume that Ginger_Freak was referring to this part of today's wsa article:

But Higgins has now fulfilled his biggest ambition in snooker - to join to small group of players to have won the sport's most prestigious title more than once. In the modern era - since 1969 - only John Spencer, Ray Reardon, Alex Higgins, Steve Davis, Stephen Hendry, Mark Williams and Ronnie O'Sullivan have achieved that feat.

So who apart from Davis and Hendry have won more than twice at the Crucible ?

Just what I was wondering. I wonder if Ginger_Freak perhaps meant that he hopes that Higgins goes on to be only the 5th player to win more than two World titles, including at least one of those titles being won at the Crucible, which has a beautifully clumsy ring to it.

No i'm not that elaborate mate! I meant what I said, i just forgot that Spencer and Reardon only won 1 each at the crucible! (For some reason I thought it was 3 each!)

What the...? Who decided the modern Era started in 1969??

Yes, that is very definitely what I meant! Ho hum..... (wipes forehead)

Congrats to Higgins, comiserations to Selby - great comeback.

Congrats to Higgins, a very worthy champion. He's a class act. and how befitting that he's joined the ranks of O'Sullivan and Williams on 2 WCs each. Snooker's fantastic trio?

Deserving of at least two World championships so justice has been done it would have been a travesty had he not joined Ronnie and Mark.
Not a great final but a great result.
