Alex Higgins scores over 100 points during the final of World Snooker Championship; 1982
Snooker player, Alex Higgins, scores over 100 points by potting ball after ball during the final round of the 1982 World Snooker Championship (officially the 1982 Embassy World Snooker Championship). His score goes from 84 to 101 in the same break, after potting the black ball. Includes shots of Ray Reardon, his opponent, smoking a cigarette as he watches on. The Commentator says, "The 33 year old Irishman, making hay while the sun shines...going out in a complete blaze of glory here... controversial, temperamental, but a terrific talent for the game of snooker." Rounds of applause can be heard after points are scored.
