    Thanks for that, I'm pretty sure it's the 1st time I've ever seen that one. Nice to see old Dracula in his prime and the Hurricane as reckless as ever. Lol
    I liked Ted Lowe's "sip of sasparilla" line, that was good and it was very interesting to see the players in the crowd; I've never seen a table shared by the finalists, and they were so close to the crowd it was unreal.
    Snooker in "the good ol' days", eh?

      If you look carefully you might even see Clive Everton sitting in the front row.
      I'm almost certain it's him..

        Great video! Thanks spike. Before this I've only seen him miss that pink and conceding the frame and match.

                      Funny to see how they attacks the balls totally different from today due to the slow cloths. And they take some shots on, that we hardly never see anyone go for today.

                          Is it me, or does the white ball jump over the reds, during his first shot of the 2:55 break:

                          This would then be a foul, if it was true.

                              Then the century break doesn't count then. Because he fouled jumping over the red from shot 1, the break would then start from potting the next red. So the break he made would be a break of 98.
