The best of the best

There's only one hurricane absolutely fantastic them balls done what he said

The peoples champion, him and Jimmy White gave snooker that crazy magic feel of the 70-80's. Unique Alex Higgins

That may be the best 5 minutes of my life, and I'm a father.

A lot of his shots are like he is not using a cue.. He is throwing the Javelin... then he connects with the white and off it goes.. He plays the way we are advised not to..

Nice man👍 I’m still stuck at 1:11.500😂

turn off the awful music ffs

His surname starts with an H he was not called Alex iggins

Next time your snooker coach tells you keep your head still or dont jump up right after hitting the cue ball, show them this video :D

I know everyone says that Judd Trump has the most cue power in the game of snooker, but I'd argue it's Neil Robertson. The difference is Judd uses his power mainly as exhibition, so we see it more often. Neil on the other hand, only uses his power when he really has to, so it remains a weapon he keeps in the back of his arsenal. Neil also has the better control of the cue ball in regards to the two players, so he is playing fewer recovery shots where his power becomes necessary to use. It is clear in this video just how little effort Neil requires to screw the full length of the table, whilst even in Judd's case when he is using a lot of power, you see him put his whole body into the shot, something which Robertson has no need to do. Another thing is that Robertson is by far the better cueist, famed for the solid, straight nature of his action, whilst Judd is someone famed for not cueing straight. This means that there is no wasted energy in Robertson's action, warranting him more power for less effort.

The first shot, the disappearing blue went like a bullet Awesome cue power... Even Robbo was impressed!!

that was a crazy wheelie at the end 😮

hell yeah

Nice

Awesome time bro!! Wanna race me to 1:09? I got 1:10.110

Nice👍

Our Alex we shall never forget Alex ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Th original people's champion

how good was he ????

Wish I was 20 years younger so I could have witnessed this live. Apart from this: my eyes cannot follow the balls 😂

A great tribute to the hurricane,along with Jimmy White, the best players I grew up watching

Alex Higgins made a huge statement with his life. He did not fit in, but was charismatic and sublimely talented. He's the only one that gives Jesus a real game.

The People's Champion.

Some fantastic potting from the people’s champion,no other player like him,just magnetic to watch him,rip Alex

My mum always told me he changed snooker and made it exciting. We need characters and its sad that alcohol ruined him. Let him be known for his snooker talent tho

Raw, natural talent

GOAT

The red to the middle pocket from a tight angle against White is one of the best pots you'll see

Not only is jimmy the Tony hawk of pool, a pool megalodon if you will, but his gameboy game probably has the best soundtrack in the systems library

higgins always did go in balls deep

He was a Wizard💥💥💥💯💥💥

Thank you, mr. Higgins

Nickname’s HURRICANE WHIRLWIND ROCKET

2:13 Good lord!!

Fireworks.

congrats!

Meanwhile, Peter Ebdon is still chalking his cue.

It's weird but if I had 3 wishes one of them would of been for him to clear up in 94 and get that world title

The worst thing for White was meeting the ‘King of the Crucible’ every time in the WC final. It made him appear to later generations as an average player which he was far from.

They don't make ALEX HIGGINS anymore, he was one of a kind, saw him play many times in the mid seventies live, won 3 Canadian Championships at the immortal CNE, fantastic stuff, RIP my friend, you have earned your fame honestly.

Go the hurricane

My missus’ claim to fame is playing pool with Alex for a random drunken afternoon in Durham in 1991. She thought he looked hungry so she kept buying him ham rolls ❤

My wife’s claim to fame is she played pool with Alex in a random pub in Durham one random weekday afternoon. She bought him a ham roll as he looked hungry. Student life eh? ❤

‘Seeing’ shots quickly is a gift. I think many can do it for the odd shot, but great players do it most of the time.

This video got copyright claimed by a company who definitely don't own any of this content (SuperBam Inc.). As a result of this, unfortunately I had to cut out one of the clips (shots) in this video. Sorry!

I'm pretty sure that even the GOAT couldn't pull off these shots on as much vodka

0:57 That was a poor shot positionally

What a shane alex and ronnie o sullivan were in different age group, and time period , what , a battle they would have had if they had met at the height of their careers.😊

For me the greatest talent in the game...if he had the mental strength of a steve davis he probably wouldn't have lost a match. I saw him at an exhibition when he could barely stand up he was so drunk and he cleared up with an 84 break.....amazing....and alot of snooker players made alot of money out of his talent
