5.0 out of 5 stars The People's Champion, 28 Oct 2003
This is a top quality video, and is definately a real collectors item for all snooker fans. It shows the absolute pinnacle of Alex Higgins career, becoming a two time World Champion in 1982. It goes through all the stages of the 1982 World Championships in great detail. It shows ALex Higgins semi-final against Jimmy White including "that" clearance made by Higgins. Top quality video, I'm very happy to have bought it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for every snooker fan, 28 May 2005
I saw this video a couple of years ago at a friend's friend's house. The 1982 Embassy World Snooker championships were among the best ever and if the Steve Davis-Dennis Taylor battle 3 years later was closer, the thrilling Alex Higgins vs Jimmy White semi-final in 1982 produced some of the most skillful play in snooker history. Yes, the video is more than worth it to watch 'that' clearance by Higgins in the penultimate frame to draw level with White and eventually beat him in the final frame. I believe that the defeat put a psychological block on Jimmy White and stopped him from winning the World Championship himself in the future.
