![Stephen Hendry's Maiden Crucible 147 | 1995 World Championship [vs Jimmy White]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Cm4m2-rJgyE/mqdefault.jpg)
tony drago is a great person...i love the fact that he went for a hug instead of a simple hand shake
Drago loved every minute of it. See him grinning half way through the break
Making 147 points is harder than being a champion. All great players have champion titles but not every champion has managed to score 147 points
I agree what a total gent
Same, love Tony. I love his style of playing too although it's risky but it's very entertaining
@@planetaflu No, it's not.
brilliantly crafted beautiful play from jimmy, the greatest player to watch in the early 90's
Tony total class act, Jimmy still one of my favorite players ever.
Tony hugging Jimmy at the end was the most heart warming moment.
Every time his face is on camera he's smiling too..even he was happy for him
Well it would have depended on how well they knew each other at the time. Two players who didn't know each other very well wouldn't have hugged.
@@ajs41 Very true. But as a spectator of sport, I feel I wouldn't bother to know their relationship status for the gesture. In Hindu culture, embracing another human being out of sheer humanity and good feelings is a good thing. Creates harmony, well being, good vibes, positivity, better interaction and a good future relationship. Cheers. :)
When Jimmy White was in a sweet spot, his cueing was so smooth, so intuitive, such a joy to watch. This 147 is legendary and I clearly remember as if it were yesterday seeing it live on BBC television at the time. John Virgo as the commentator...what happened to all these legends? And the hug of Drago... God, I miss those days.
Virgo is still commentating:)
@@dustinl2405 Really? That's great. I think I'll take a look again. Thanks!
8:43 .. (Woman Spectator) Come on jimm.. (Referee) SHUT UP!! 😂
Jimmy is an incredible player as we all know ... What I like about him is, he has an edginess and unpredictablity in his playing that is so great to watch. It can also lead him to triumph and downfall. Looking at the big picture, he’s just a great guy to watch and a master of the game of snooker. Long live Jimmy White 🤟
Legend. Always remember watching him as a kid growing up in the eighties 👍
Go on Jimmy
all in 10 mins. one of the best players to watch ever.
Not taking anything away from jimmy but I think Ronnie did a maximum in 5 minutes and 8 seconds
@@chucklesdarwinwaswrongevol9264 Yep, he did, and also every other max Ronnie makes is around 6 minutes.
i didnt know about that 147 before today (thanks youtube :p ) and i actually was surprise of the speed and then u realise that its not even close to the record 147 of ronnie ... making it even more crazy... all that said not going to make any compareason or denying tthe fact that jimmy is not as good as ronnie , in that level of play we just have too amazing champion that we all can be happy to be able to watch play and master the game .
@@guetali Yes Jimmy is probably as quick in amongst the balls but just pauses slightly now and then working stuff out.Surely this is one of the fastest made though?
Jimmy was great to watch, I was gutted when he lost those finals to Henry, especially the one when he missed the black off the spot.
I still remember that exact moment very well... such a shame...
in an alternative universe Jimmy White would have been 8 times world champion
Look on the bright side.. He got over £160000 for this break.. Thatd anstonishing compared to what the pay is these days. Plus he beat Hendry twice at the world championships so he had a little revenge
I’m still not able to watch that shot on replays. I turn the tv off or blank my eyes. I was so upset as a 15 year old jimmy worshiper.
Who is Henry?
love how Drago celebrates with him ,great bloke
They used to be practice partners so know each other really well
So happy he got a 147 at the world’s. deserved to be part of the crucible history. Still hurts to remember he never won a world championship.
Bloody marvellous, I hadnt seen this before. Well done Jimmy
Jimmy was just great and earned a hug from us all...
Jimmy is alive and well.
One of the happiest Times in my Life watching this as Jimmy's one of the most genuine and nicest Guys and one of the greatest ever Players!
One of the greatest pieces of snooker ever. I never tire of watching this.
Its easy to forget, with all the often deserved hype around Ronnie, that Jimmy was another "most gifted player to ever pickup a cue", we used to marvel at his technique is accurate positional play and potting. I dont think there is another player who hits the white so low on nearly all his shots, if i did that i would mis-cue every time lol. Never foget and its no disrespect to Hendry or Ronnie, that if Hendry had not been around, Jimmy would have won a few world titles and a lot more too.
And if Steve Davis.had not been around.
Losing 6 world finals is just cruel. He just didn't have the composure of the likes of Hendry.
Making 147 points is harder than being a champion. All great players have champion titles but not every champion has managed to score 147 points
richard cunningham Agreed Jimmy had more flair and in a lot of ways was more gifted but have to concede Ronnie is tops.
He doesn't hit the ball low all the time, it's just how he feathers up
One of the greats. Some aren't made to be champions but to still compete amongst the best and be a close second... No bad thing.
Without doubt the best ever player not to have won a world championship. He just couldn’t quite pull it off, Steve Davis, Stephen Hendry and Ronnie O’Sullivan were the main reasons why. Any other era and Jimmy would surely have bagged a few championships at the Crucible. That was an amazing clearance, a lot of tricky shots played beautifully and quickly.
As for Tony Drago, an incredible show of sportsmanship and class. You don’t see this shown in any other sport, excepting possibly in golf, Tony is a top bloke!!!
Jimmy or ding junhui the greatest to never win a world title definetly ding still got a shot but seems to be declining now if he works hard at his game he's still got a shot I suppose
To much cocaine 😢😢😢, Google tony drago punching himself 😅😅😅😅
Read an article he blew 35k on crack cocaine 😢
Said he done 10 grams of cocaine and drunk 4 bottles of jack Daniels...then lost 10 frames in a row to hendry...absolute madness
@@jakehope6811ding chocked in the uks was it last year...6-1 up and allen beat him😮
Tony Drago is one of the loveliest and most sporting snooker players. Classy guy.
Jimmy is a grand human being.
I like this guys tempo and style the most,The whirl wind!
A wonderful show of good sportsMANship. Congratulations Jimmy.
The way he addresses the ball, and his style of stroke and shot. Pure Jimmy at his best. Those balls thud into the pockets like darts in the treble twenty. Perfect.
True legend of snooker Jimmy white
Never been a fan of Jimmy White, but watching that again - I'm pleased for him. Great job.
Sportsmanship of drago 😍😍
Fabulous!!
Great to see this again after so long, Jimmy is a legend!
one of the best 147
Jimmy was an unbelievable player and natural potter of the white ball, but unfortunately, he never had the bottle when he needed it in major competitions and finals. Hendry, Higgins, Davis and Sullivan, they all had the nerve to win. You can't teach that. It's the way you were made. Jimmy will always be my favourite. The people's champion.
Potter of the white ball? isn't this a foul?
@Craig Johnson He should have taken Hendry out drinking then beat his ass proper,for a bit of intimidation.
Loved watching Jimmy White
Tony Drago hugging Jimmy at the end, quite quite magnificent.
Jimmy!!!!!!
Glorious!!!!
Jimmy white
A fantastic player and so good to watch, love Jimmy ❤️
It looks unreal how he plays with that beastly left hand, so close to the cue ball too...
Lovely to watch...Jimmy made it look so easy...
My favourite player👍🇦🇺
£100000, not everyone gets it for 147. Still one of the best recorded ever
6:18 this shot is amazing! The way he controlled the cue ball's position after the shot-at a such difficult pot- is incredibile! Almost certain he is 1 of the top 5 players in history in top of the cue ball's positioning after the shot!
Agree. With just enough drag side to stop the cue ball, exceptional control.
Jimmy's 147 has to be at the very top of a high class list of Maximum breaks. Some of the shots he had to make as well as controlling the cue ball to keep his break going are incredible. What a truly gifted talent and entertainer Mr Jimmy White the 'Whirlwind' ❤
jimmy white reminds me so much of edward scissorhands
Twat.
Great Jimmy !!!!!
Dragos Cristian
Nice to see the grimace on Tony's face when Jimmy runs out of ideal position on a break of 80. Great sportsmanship from him to want his opponent to make the 147 once the frame was lost
I remember after the match, Jimmy saying what a lovely person Tony Drago was. He said that there were some players on the circuit who would of been willing him to miss, but that Tony and a few others would be happy for him. I loved watching Jimmy White playing when he was at his peak. A great talent.
Jimmy snooker legend 🔥
Even though Jimmy never won a world title he's still in the top 20 players in history easily and there's been millions of players.
Top 10
Partner of Alex Higgins. 😍😍
Love frm pak
So many difficult shots in this magical 147.great
7:27 Tony is just having a great time
Jimmy's cue action is among the best ever. Only topped by perhaps The Rocket himself.
Don't forget Stephen Lee
Jimmy has the best looking cue action - it looks cooler then anything I have seen to date.
Que placer ver esto !!!
What a great player
True Legend!!!
brilliant. well done Tony too.
Lovely memories
Love both player. They both have it's unique style that we don't see very often in nowadays snooker. Hurricane Higgins, white, Sullivan, Drago the kind of risk taking to entertain the crowd we don't see that anymore.
What about Judd Trump? I believe he's quite a risk taker and an entertainer!
I remember this break. Just gorgeous. 1992 was made for him. A tragedy that he came up against Mr. Hendry.
Jimmy White was the greatest underdog of any sport, how I wish we could reverse time and see him win at least 1 world championship.
Jimmy is a Legend plays like he talks no bollocks
Back then when 147 were such a big deal but then Ronnie happened.
Not taking anything away from Jimmy. Great Guy.
Top Jimmy cooks! That black with the rest at 6:22. Best in the world to date
I've just purchased that table. 👍
Jimmy was my hero
jimmy was always nearly man his class of play spoke volumes, be nice comes out next year kick youngsters azzes hes a star
Makin' a 147 against Tony Drago is the equivalent of hitting a 9 darter against James Wade.
Who's James wade?
Also like jimmy white wade is a left hander
James tidied up all the balls. And that’s why he was a world champion💪💪
Well done Jimmy ! : P
Ever best 147... Love from Pakistan
Poetry in Motion!
Jimmy is defo one of the best snooker players ever. Here's my top 6 in no particular order:
Jimmy White
Alex Higgins
Steve Davis
Stephen Hendry
Ronnie O'Sullivan
Mark Williams
Obviously Selby and John Higgins came close as well there but for raw talent and what each player did for the game of Snooker that's my top 6.
Crowd: Come on Jimmy!
Referee: Shut up!
Need to big up the ref as well. He was fast and efficient. Stopping when needed if Jimmy got down quickly.
Classic 147 and so pleased for him. He may never have won the World Championship, but I think he lacked the killer instinct and that edge that you need to win them. He won everything else though. I agree with what Steve Davis said about him never winning the title. It was just plain, old fashioned bad luck. Jimmy was always the right player, in the right place, but at the wrong time and always got the best players in the final on top form. That's just bad luck, even though he blew it really on that missed black. I think that was the weight of fan's expectations, which Jimmy said himself got to him a lot of the time. He was anxious and afraid to miss it so he rushed it. A pity, but doesn't change the fact that he is a snooker legend. He was around for two separate eras, Davis and Hendry, and not many players can say that, if any.
The title: “best player ever, never to win the Worldchampionship” is untouchably owned by Jimmy White.
All deep in the snooker algorithm
Tony Drago. The T20 of snooker.
Some tricky pots, that shot with the rest was Sublime.
2 legends of the sport soo entertaining 👏 played the game with balls, excuse the punt
This 147 is as amazing as Jimmys Bald spot disappearing over the last 20 years! 😅😎
Much as it hurts to say it, that shot around the 5:09 mark is indicative of how he blew so many chances to win the World Championship. So many times over the years I've watched him play the greatest snooker EVER then he plays one to make you go 'what?...what are you doing?'.
Would like a little more information added in the description for when and where it was. Cheers.
World Snooker Championship, first round, 22 April 1922 at the Crucible Theatre, 13th frame against Tony Drago.
I Carlos - Cheers for the info. I shall assume you meant 1992, and not 1922, lol.
@@bazalmighty yes lmao
So glad he got over the line. No pun intended Jimmy.
His lifestyle hindered him somewhat could of won more. Love watching him most memorable match was 1982 vs Alex higgins in semi final, when Higgins made a 69 clearance to stay in the match an eventually win probably one of the best breaks in crucible history. Seen that when I'd just started playing age 12.
as youtube give me the possibility to watch this one (thanks for that :p ) as a non expert to those game like snooker , darts , bowling . can we classify the level of difficulty comparing 147 in snooker, 501 9 darts finisher in darts and a 300 in bowling ? or just the 147 in snooker is just by far the most difficult ? sorry for probably a stupid question im really more a "like to watch" than really an expert of it ..
A Canadian was the first to obtain a 147 at the crucible. 😎
Jimmy's hair treatment has stood the test of time.
Which year please (sorry noob here!)?
Whirlwind v Tornado....I wonder if it was windy outside....lol
The whirlwind! 😀
Jimmy has the best looking cue action of all time...
I'd say Davis had the best cue action. absolute textbook brillance the master Cueman some would say. But osullivan changed everything different level to all
Even though I know he gets a 147, I still get nervous on every shot :)
Anyone know what year this was ?
1992. got to the final and lost again
8:42
"SHUT UP!"
🤣

Jimmy won the heart by playing and drago won the heart by behaving.....
My cousin Ron says that Jimmy is not a numpty!
Wow
