Thanks mjt. Loved Jimmy's shot in the closing seconds. His second and third sessions against Eddie in 1984 were probably the most inspired " whirlwind" snooker he ever produced. From frame 10 onwards, he went for practically everything. In an interview after the match, Eddie said "... he's (Jimmy) never played like that against me before. I just couldn't keep him safe. He was ramming them in from all angles"
Haahaaa, am pml. Honestly that cheered me up there. It was so funny when alex was potting a ball and all you could see was the top of wee simons head walking around the table. Then pushing his stand around for his shot. And when he chalked his cue and asked for the cue ball to be cleanend it had me in stitches laughing. It was so funny and comical. Alex did loads of stuff like this all the time, but we rarely heard about it and never even saw it. A mean its taking at least 20 years for just utube to show it, never mind the bbc. It reminds me of all the great stuff george best did with kids going back to the early 1960s. But never shown by the bbc or rarely even spoke about. And yawntube showed a bit of coaching that george did in 1970 with boys age 10 to 12. And george did it for at least an hour a day for at least a week. And the amount of comments people left saying "this is gold dust, after 48 years why are we just seeing this just now? Why hasent this even been shown on the bbc and why just now is yawntube showing this. In 2022 when i first seen it. A few people said "i remember seeing this way back in 1970, it says its from 1968 but it was 1970 its clear to see just by looking at george, his hair is much longer. It was great to watch the worlds greatest player at that time teaching young boys just about everything about the game skill wise for a week or two. George was teaching them how to control the ball by trapping it and by using your chest and your phys and head. And he showed them how to swerve the ball, and how to use both feet and how to dribble and go past a player by drawing him into the tackle. And he showed them how to head the ball into the goals and how to tackle and how to pass the ball and how to hold onto it when you have to by sheilding it. He said the most important thing is running off the ball when you havent got it to create space so your team mates can pass to you as you have to make it easier for them to see you in plenty of space, if you dont do that then you will not get the ball as much, or at all. As its about running off the ball as much as running with the ball" george said if you watch goals on tv you will clearly notice the player that scored ran into a greater position in a way to get a pass to score. So always remember that boys! And george coached boys all over the world, all over europe and the middle and far east long after he retired at age 37. He made the game look great and fun to play, and he smiled when he or a player made a mistake. As if he was playing on a street, i thought? Thats right its meant to be fun. Plus he was the first player that made me laugh in sheer admiration at what he did and i was football mad. It was 1981 and i was age 8 and he was a guest on grandstands football focus and i didnt know who he was. But at the start of the show it showed a cross being swung over and high into the box from 40 yards out, so a man utd player went up to head it and it went strait up into the air again and at 9 yards out big pat jeninngs went out to punsh it away but was challengend with two players and only got half a punsh on it, and it fell to george best who was standing to his left side a bit, and at least 14 yards out. George then let the ball bounce onto his chest then let it drop onto his right foot then lobbed it over big pat and 3 spurs players, 2 of them standing on the goal line, as the ball cleared the crossbar by 5 or 6 inches. Exhibiting sublime execution gauged to the very inch. I said out loud "AWE NO WAY...WHAT A GOAL...HOW DID HE DO THAT...WHO IS THAT" I then calmend down a bit, as i laughed. And said "dad who was that there...that was some goal, brilliant, just sheer brilliant so it was dad" my dad said "george best" and looked a bit sad as he rubbed his face slowly, but i could see him moving around a bit on his chair. It was a move my dad did when he watched something that he knew was special and different and would never see again. "Yes george best", my dad said again. "Do you know that guy had all the skill in the world son". My dad said to me. And i was to find out that the genius i saw was from 1971. And it was 1981. But i had never seen any player score a goal like that before. Yes i had seen hundreds of lobs and chips over a goal keeper. But never in the way that best did in what i just seen. First it was a heavy wet ball on a muddy goal mouth park, there was at least 4 spurs players infront of george and man utd players plus big pat, to then let the ball bounce onto his chest and let it drop onto his right foot then lobbing it over every one and into the top corner is something else. Its the best george best goal i have seen. No one else would have thought about doing it never mind being able to do it.
@Tullymurry Toff probably true but although Cuetracker is a good website, it's littered with errors on frame scores and breaks. The website says it welcomes comments etc but try telling them about the errors and Ron blocks you on twitter. Strange but true!
@@digeme69 Spoke to Ron a few times. Always seems a nice bloke. I too have noticed errors on frame scores etc. He supplies the stats for the BBC these days along with Hendon

holy crap did anyone read all this
Ah, 0:26 The original UK Championship trophy. I believe Steve Davis has that one permanently now.
Simon had a bit of talent already at 2 and a half! Wonder if he's still playing these days...
Hes certainly never played a tournament according to Cuetracker
@Tullymurry Toff probably true but although Cuetracker is a good website, it's littered with errors on frame scores and breaks. The website says it welcomes comments etc but try telling them about the errors and Ron blocks you on twitter. Strange but true!
