R O Sullivan vs McManus, D Taylor & Parrott Crucible 93 & 94

[trains]

Does anyone know where there's any footage of these matches ? I didn't see anything on YouTube and the BBC to my knowledge has never shown anything.
The earliest O Sullivan Crucible footage i can see on YouTube is his 1995 quarter final 8 - 13 defeat to Stephen Hendry.

I well remember Parrott beating him 13-3 in 1994. I don’t have footage though.

Quote not working.

OT But i remember the same matchup 5 years later at the Crucible, there was one frame O 'S needed two or three snookers to win a frame, he got them with aplomb, pure class, it's still possibly the best exhibition of pursuing snookers that i've ever seen.

As a big McManus fan back in the day, I remember that 93 match quite well, unfortunately, technology hasn't developed enough to upload those memories onto TSF just yet . I do remember the commentator saying it was 'the match of the tournament so far'!

maybe Mr Snooker can help, if I recall correctly they had a collection of old World Championship matches.

I can’t say for sure that I don’t have any footage but I gave around 100 old VHS tapes to Roger Lee years ago. I still have around fifty tapes boxed up but no idea what’s on them… Mainly 90’s televsion snooker.

I wonder if there's a chance Patsy Houlihan is on one of those Cyril? 🤔

[Cyril]

No chance of that I’m afraid. The only hope of ever seeing Houlihan footage is if anyone has an old tape from his 1978 match v Thorburn at the Crucible.

Bit of a difference compared to Hendry's debut, a decent losing effort to Willie Thorne in 1986 which was more noted and is still on youtube.

No footage unfortunately but I was there in 93 to watch that match
