I love how the coughing from the audience increases when Hendry's clearing up 😂😂😂😂
Yeah a bit of snooker interrupting " the world coughing championship.
Every time I watch it I still think Jimmy is gonna clear up.
Wasn’t stolen….Jimmy bottled it, BIG DIFFERENCE!
Again.....
sad to say but jimmy just couldn’t handle the pressure. He himself said “I flinched that shot.”
He threw it
He threw it as he needed to raise some funds for his wigs. Looking at him here, the whirlwig must have realised he was only a couple of years away from resembling a cross between Willie Thorne and Bobby Charlton.
That missed black and the final he lost to Hendry 18-14 when he was 14-8 ahead still haunts me to this day. Painful beyond belief.
Jimmy was someone who desperately needed a sports psychologist.
Jimmy had this one in the bag that year. Lost his composure at the WORST time.
Tell me about it. My dad and I were absolutely distraught that Jimmy blew those golden chances, especially this one. It will forever haunt me, can’t imagine how it made Jimmy feel.
To this day even I still think Hendry was the best middle pocket potter.
One of the most painful moments in snooker history. This and Willie Thorne’s missed blue in the 1985 UK championship final.
The only difference being was that Willie Thorne's missed blue didn't cost him the match. He still had to lose another 7 frames before that happened!
I thought Thorne's missed blue was hilarious
@@tobyharling719 Willie later said it was that missed blue that changed the momentum towards Steve Davis.
He's not only the best player who hasn't won a World Championship but also better than many players who have.
@@samca4472 No player had the amount of bottle that Alex Higgins did. True legend
Damn straight
Dennis Taylor, Terry Griffiths, Joe Johnson, Stuart Bingham, Peter Eldon and Graham Dott to name a few were nowhere near as good as Jimmy. It absolutely sucks that all those guys are world champions, but the great Jimmy White is not.
@@krisorgan Difference is all those guys took their chance when it came along. Jimmy had multiple chances to win it but didn't.

True
If you want to know just how ruthless Hendry was, this is the frame. Amazing Player and the greatest winner of all time
No offence to Jimmy, but I absolutely loved watching Hendry win all those titles, especially when it was from the jaws of defeat.
I cried like a baby after this. Was 16yrs old. Jimmy was and still is my hero
I was damn close to tears myself. Absolutely devastated.
Ur a useless fellow
Stop telling lies lad
Don't think I've ever seen any player with as much bottle as Stephen Hendry!
Graeme for sure Hendry best pressure player ever.
Hendry had bottle by the bucketload
Hendry back then looked like a Shakespearean Hamlet character, he has that romantic gesture in his style of play that infatuate everyone!! Stephen Hendry was not just a snooker champion, he was a true gentleman as well, never sulking or moaning!!
Zana your wrong the rare time Hendry lost he would,away from the audience sulk like a spoilt child.
You obviously don't know much of his personal life if you think he is a "gentleman"
Still waiting for Hendry to miss that red into the middle pocket 😕
As a kid, this broke my heart
For all he's done for snooker Jimmy deserved to win it at least one time.
Stephen looked so young like he was 15.
You only deserve it if you win it.
The way Hendry was knocking in those reds in the middle with this kind of pressure was unbelievable.
Nice to see Jimmy doing it in another final against Hendry today, 30 years later.
"Here, take the keys to my car, it's all yours!!" "Officer - that man's just stolen my car!!!"
Beleza de partida. Dois excelentes jogadores.
Hard to watch that missed black by Jimmy 🤦♂️ that was his chance 😬
He also missed the position on the previous red because of stiff stroke. Played perfect to the blue, decided to go for the easy single red, got in slight trouble and was unable to recover.
There’s no way Jimmy should ever have been that high on the black, plays the previous red better it could have been different. Can’t take it away from Hendry though just a born winner.
He wasn't all that high on it though, really. Maybe not absolutely smack bang where he wanted to be, but still not a shot he should have missed (and by a lot - didn't even get it in the jaws).
@@chriswilliamson7694 spot on.
I remember watching this live and I have to admit that seeing it now, the black was easier than I thought. I knew he was high on the black but I thought he was nearer the cushion too, making it quite missable.
Whereas in reality, he was just a bit high but it was still very straightforward. Hand on the table and didn't even need side for the next red.
It was equivalent to a 4 footer in golf.
I feel so sorry for Jimmy , he deserved to be a World Champion being such a phenomenal player at least once.
Incorrect . He never had the correct attitude to be World Champion
@@empty-ed
Nonsense Jimmy totally deserved to of been world champion. He just couldn’t quite hold it together at the vital moment.
Well - he was lacking in that department . He was partying all the time and on drugs . Hendry was in his house practicing whilst drinking tea
In Snooker, good quality amateurs can predict which ball Pro's will go for next, watching Hendry, he constantly picked a shot which you could not predict, he was a true genius and deserved everything he won, great bloke as well.
You knew the second he missed that black there was no second chance coming
Wtf, why is it called stolen! U don't missed a simple shot when playing with hendry in his prime.
And the Greg Norman Trophy goes to : Jimmy White for the sixth time in his career
Jimmy had a choice of two reds before the missed black and I never understand why he didn't play the one to his right not to his left.
The position from the blue ball was what cost him. He left the cue ball way short of what he intended
As "The Undertones" said - Jimmy, Jimmy wouldn't let go
Football is my first love regarding sport but, my first favourite sportsman was Jimmy White. I remember saying to my dad I’d be happy for Tottenham to lose the cup final to Forest in 91 if Jimmy would win the world title. That’s how much I love Jimmy white and how desperately I wanted him to win the big one.
I simply cannot watch this video, it’s too painful even
30 yrs later.
I think there is a part inside all of us fans that feels pain for Jimmy here. Everyone knows how naturally talented Jim is and what a quality bloke he is. If he had played in his prime through any other decade he could have certainly wrapped up a world championship or more without having a Hendry in his prime.
Hey life isn’t fair Jim but the excitement and memories you have contributed to the game will live on forever, and often winning hearts are equally as important as winning titles ❤
Jimmy missed! Hendry didn't!
Nothing was "stolen"
It’s amazing how his hair grew back ❤
Amazing what glue and a dead cat can achieve.
I wouldn't say stolen - Jimmy rushed his shot and missed - you don't do that against King Hendry the greatest
Remembering bad experiences and the loss of self belief that follows helps to accumulate more bad experiences.
I agree - all those lost finals seemed to catch up with Jimmy there. If this had been his first ever final he would probably have potted that black and gone on to win.
The tournament now really should employ better branding for the tournament and incorporate that with the sponsors cause it really could use work for marketing of the sport to make it feel even grander. It’s just generic sports branding now compared to what we see here in the 90’s. You look at tournaments in other sports. You got each of the Grand Slams in tennis with their own logos and iconography, same with the UEFA Champion League in football. They could do better.
Agree
The biggest scandal in snooker history is that Jimmy White never managed to win one world snooker championship. He is probably the best, if not, the second best snooker player in the world.
Indeed. Not a ‘scandal’ but a big disappointment, to be sure.
And all credit to Hendry, finished the job under the same pressure that White was facing.
hes a number two alright
You clearly know very little about snooker!
Most popular at the time yes. But he didn't have what it took to be a world champion. He was in no way disciplined enough. He was a party animal and junkie
In the timeline where Jimmy potted the black, there is world peace and no hunger.
This final and '92 were the ones Jimmy White really should have won. Surprising to see how many of the final reds/colours Hendry took to the middle pockets. Some were not that easy and he was really punching them in.
He had them in the bag. Should've been 2 time World Champion at least.
Biggest ever anti-climax & disappointment in the history of sport, worldwide.
Young Arnold
Jimmy could only blame for himself
The possibility of losing all 6 finals is 1/64.......
The possibility of tossing a coin is that - it doesn’t factor in your opponent in a World Snooker final - A mental deficiency in getting over the finishing line and years of substance abuse
Jimmy white and buffalo bills in the 1990's always made it to the big dance but could not get the job done
What else can I say Jimmy apart from Happy Birthday lol
'Es beginnin' to annoy me!
I prefer Jimmy as a player/person but youd want Hendry as your coach. Textbook, Ruthless, Clinical
I'm watching this in 2023, willing Jimmy on.
Nothing against Jimmy. People say he is a great player, but I disagree. Great players don't bottle it when it really matters.
I've watched it back 3 times just now, and no matter how much I hope for that black to go in, it never does.
I'll watch it again 1 last time today. I'll let you all know if he pots it this time.
This frame must haunt jimmy, such a miss
He must of pocketed such balls probably hundreds of thousands of times, over and over.
Thought it was because of all the donuts coughing, would put anyone off
The sporting world had just gone through the loss of Ayrton Senna 24 hours before and needed a feel good moment. It was cruelly not to be.
jimmy should have just not rush, done a ebdon and take 30 seconds more on each shot and whould have won
If he’d done that he would have ended up over-thinking his shots and missed even more. He wasn’t psychologically suited to slow play.
3:47
Painful to watch this again, can only imagine how Jimmy felt... was probably not helped by the number of times he'd finished runner up by this time, bound to prey on your mind, and weight of expectation. Hendry had already won the title a few times so prob didn't feel the same pressure, nonetheless was cool as a cucumber in clearing the table
That shot at 9.06 was outstanding and should have been a Frame,Match, Championship Winner.I was a Jimmy fan and there's not one snooker player in the history of the sport that hasn't twiched on an important shot and we all know that.
Too bad Mr Whirlwig, probably fixed though, i bet he was into it deep with the bookies at the time.
Eh?
Jimmys arse went
Hendry out of goodness of his heart awarded him the previous frame. So it's a bit of a stretch to say he stole this Worlds from Jimmy White.
It wasn't stolen! he missed the black. Hendry made him pay for it.
99 times out of 100 he pots that black.
Unfortunately the 1 time was the most important.
Given not stolen
Only Jimmy white can pot amazing shots and then miss a easy pot! He bottles that one wasn't stolen lol
Stolen is a bit strong
Jimmy is the most unluckiest World Championship finalist, ever
@loue .Not unlucky at all,he should have Beaton Parrot and Hendry at least once ,a lifestyle of booze ,drugs ,gambling and late nights cost him .I used to feel bad about Jimmy not taking a World title ,then I read his books and realised he got what he deserved .
Unlucky to be a bottler. No more to it than that.
Stolen? White had his chance and he failed to take it. Hendry got his chance and he took it.
Jimmy a woundful player just a bit unlucky 🤨
You don’t lose 6 world finals because of “bad luck”.
@@paulofarrell6498 It's unlucky for everyone when a player like Hendry was dominating and beating everyone, not just Jimmy 😉
He was certainly unlucky to be around when Davis was dominating the game in the '80s and then just as Davis was going downhill along came Hendry!
What a terrible headline to this video. One the greatest snooker finals in history. The headline suggests that English players win matches while Sots players can only steal matches. It’s the same rhetoric you get from patriotic sports commentators. The frame, the match, the tournament was won fair and square by Stephen Hendry who even passed off a free-ball earlier in the match to let Jimmy back in. An example of his impeccable integrity. As I say, nothing was stolen.
Jimmy doesn't have the balls to win and it wasn't stolen
Wtf it's not stolen . it's well gained under pressure😂
Jimmy doesn't deserve to win after missing that timatur.
Jimmy should have potted that black as Hendry had a elbow fracture and could no play 100 percent
@Wayne Anthony Holmes it's always sad to see comments like this. I can understand Hendry is hard to be loved player, but not recognising his huge contributions to snooker is sad. Beside the fact he dominated the game for more than 10 years, he really changed the game. And this is well rocognised by all the players, even Roonie said that for few times.
hystory is not there to be like or not, to agree or disagree. is there to learn from it
@Wayne Anthony Holmes i can just guess you are very young, I will spend my time to tell you some facts:
- Stephen Hendry was borring because he was winning everything within those years. The were only few events and he was constantly winning. If today we'll have any player winning everything the snooker will be borring as well.
- Stephen was all out on attack. This was a revolution on snooker at that time. Before having Hendry on his prime, the snooker used to be lots more deffensive. That's why I said he was chaning the game at that time.
- comparing players from 20 years ago with players from current days is always toxic and irelevant. In any sport, snooker included. It's like comparing yourself with your grand father.
@Wayne Anthony Holmes Hendry lived and played in what I call the tamatar era (era of 🍅 ) where there were only a handful of half decent players. However, he introduced the attacking style of play, and there were not as many ranking events in those days, so by comparison, he's still up there by account of how many he's won.
He faded out not because of the competition (if you can pot, you can pot, no matter whos sitting on the other chair) but because he developed the yips and it disabled him. Once that anxiety kicks in, it never really goes away.
@Wayne Anthony Holmes FUD
Bottle jobs exist in every sport. It’s an unfortunate trait to have.
@lucieakagypsy I’m talking about this own, Jimmy bottled it on a simple black. Simple as that.
Hendry looked cool as a cucumber...until Jimmy went ahead. You see him just before Jimmy pots the last red and he looked beaten.
And then Jimmy twitched. Every night he thinks about that black.
Having a bald head didn't help

To be a champion you need BOTTLE something Jimmy will never have. Hence why he’s not a world champion. Embarrassing failure of a career.
I bet he was on the bottle after this
