Alex Higgins potting balls during Snooker Masters Final; 1981
GVs of Alex Higgins, professional Snooker Player from Northern Ireland, playing in the Masters Final match, against Terry Griffiths, from Wales. Higgins is seen taking aim and potting balls. The Commentator can be heard saying, "Well Alex of course has got one of the quickest brains the game has ever seen, he's able to assess a situation in a mere flash...of course the quicker he gets, the more dangerous he is." Cuts to show Terry Griffiths watching on, whilst smoking a cigarette. The score flashes up on screen, 69 points to Terry Griffiths' 33. Alex Higgins takes a shot where his leg is raised up, resting on the snooker table.
