The way Hendry cleared up at the end under the most extreme pressure knowing almost everyone there and watching on TV wanted him to miss so Jimmy could win his 1st in 6 attempts was so impressive and why he's one of the best to ever play the game.
Hendry;s sportsmanship in the 32nd frame, when he refused the free ball, was such a class thing to do. He really was a champion in every sense of the word. Its a shame Jimmy never won a world title, he deserved one after all the finals he reached.
Almost 30 years later as I watch this, knowing the outcome as I watched this live, I still have butterfly's for Jimmy. I remember being 14 watching this, and the agony of this loss was unbearable as I was convinced this was finally going to be his time. Oh, and did anyone actually watch Cry Freedom? I don't think I have even wanted an individual sportsperson to win as much as this night. Even in 2023, I still look up Jimmy in the qualifiers and dream might this his year. 2024, come on Jimmy.
Jimmy missing the black and losing again was heartbreaking of course, but Hendry querying the free ball at 7 hours 49 minutes is one of the greatest things I've ever seen in sport. Extraordinary sportsmanship.
David Jones-Yes it was heartbreaking but you can't change history.I am just happy for Jimmy that he's doing well at the seniors.I know it's not the same but it's a World Title at the Crucible all the same.
Watching this at home Jimmy was in play in the decider. I was beginning to really believe he was gonna do it. I turned toward my dad and I remember him shouting HES MISSED!!!! And that of course was that. Heartbreaking!!!
I only watched this for the white miss on the black still shudder when he misses it as the commentator says he saw the title and blinked so heart wrenching for him and every fan
This was the year Jimmy could have won his world snooker championship, a great champion still the same, people's favorite no doubt, admire him immensely.
Jimmy white winning his 1st World championship by winning the 1994 world championship in his 6th final 18 - 17. The greatest victory story that never was
I used to watch this man and cry every year he'd lose in final. I've watched every round with every balls potted that involved Jimmy White. I almost had no other desires in life at that time more than wanting Jimmy to win the embassy word championship. When he missed that black in final frame. Not only I cried but threw my remote at the tv. Failed to break the tv. This pattern of suffering continued for years more.
I remember this final and feeling absolutley gutted for Jimmy. He was the people's favourite. All he needed was to take a few more seconds before the shot and relax but he rushed it and that was that,
@@seanq5223 I know Ted Lowe when I hear him, his voice is unmistakable. The announcer says at the beginning it's John Virgo and Ted Lowe anyway. Ted Lowe retired after the World Championship in 1996.
The members of the audience are all so humble and seemingly down to earth types. Now everyone today thinks they're a celebrity and that their cack don't stink. Miss the good old days.
@Billy Pribbo For me Hendry in his prime, was just as entertaining as Ronnie and a genius in his own right. Let's not forget that he revolutionized the game and brought it to another level and players like Higgins, o'Sullivan and Williams are indebted to him when it comes to the way they play the game. As all modern players are. Hendry was always looking for the pot, prefering a difficult long one over a safety. You can't always say that of Ronnie. Considering Hendry only started playing at 12 years old, I am not even sure Ronnie is the more naturally gifted of the two as he started playing at 6 or 7 years old...
Watching this for the first time, and 28 years on, Jimmy White has me on the edge of my screen. Played 30 years ago, and remembered the names of the great recently brought me here. Jimmy White will go down as the Tiger Woods of Snooker. Great tension with Hendry v White, not like the robotic nature of Davis, who is just legendry. White has the human element to greatness many don't see with others. Great match.
Jimmy White has 6 runner-up finishes, losing to Stephen Hendry 4 times. He is actually a great player. Unfortunately for him, he played during the peak of Stephen Hendry (regarded as the greatest of all time in Snooker). Similar to what happened to several NBA players during the reign of Michael Jordan.
This was his best chance though. Hendry not at his best in this tournament (inc final) harboring an injury sustained early on. All who watched this live (including me) knew deep down that this was Jimmy's last chance.
The biggest miracle here is that jimmy white and simple snooker was bald and now he has Derek haircut with no bald patch! There should be more videos of him talking about that coz it’s a miracle! God created hair for him a second time! What a mighty man!
This just so happened to take place on the same weekend of the fateful 1994 San Marino Grand Prix. Jimmy White was a big motorsport fan and I can't help but feel that he saw Ayrton Senna's death and it shook him.
watching it back again and seeing the missed black it was actually the 2 shots before where the trouble starts. he played a bad shot on the blue which left him short on his intended red which meant that he had to take the trickier one to the middle. although he would obviously have expected to get the black the last thing you want in that situation is to leave yourself that high on it and at that added distance to stun off the cushion for the red. Still as heartbreaking now after all this time
After that final frame, I hoped that I would not feel as upset and crushed after a sporting event again. Then it happened again after the 2019 Wimbledon final.
Great match, truly a great match. A heartbreaking loss for Jimmy. Those who are able to make shots in clutch moments usually win championships, regardless of the sport. Jimmy had his opportunities but did not capitalize.
@@chrisjames9688 I agree - his standard was much better in '92. Still scratching my head how he didn't win the final after leading 14-8 having totally outplayed Hendry up to that point.
I think he saw the title those famous words!! I had a bottle of champagne on ice for 4 years waiting for the greatest player never to win this title!! Crazy he never won it they should of changed the rules!! Jimmy White My Hero!!!
@Michael Jagger That's basically because the UK likes to support losers, hence why we suck at so many high profile sports. Not the case in the US where the winners are revered and supported.

He was liked a lot more towards the end of his career when he wasn't winning as often.
White potted a difficult red with the rest in the decider and then not a gimme blue with a difficult positional shot and then misses an easy black not doing much with the cue ball, he had it at his mercy, if he’d been playing anyone else he would very likely have got another chance but Hendry was at his peak with the winning momentum behind him, he’s the best player there’s ever been under pressure and that was ultimately the difference, it’s not fair to say White didn’t have any bottle though, he still won a lot of tournaments and you wouldn’t get to 17-17 with no bottle and at 5-1 down a lot of players would have buckled against Hendry and White came back but that missed black was inexplicable, it didn’t even get in the jaws of the pocket, he perhaps could have played the blue before that differently, ie played from the blue for the red into the corner pocket instead of the one to the middle as he did and he would have been closer to the black but that’s maybe hindsight, Hendry admits he thought he’d lost it when White was in but Hendry played a couple of great shots to the middle pockets and he was struggling to some extent with his broken arm, hence he missed a few shots with the rest.

David Vine couldn't help himself with more than a couple of sly back-handed comments to Jimmy during thr whole presentation. "What can I say Jimmy? It's your birthday?" "He must be shell-shocked, he nearly left before wages time!" And after being handed the runners-up cheque, "You must be getting used to these by now. . ."
Watching this during watching frasier with Kelsey grammar and Jimmy white rocking the perfect skullets, ironically probably one of the most physcolocialy damaging things to happen to someone
Better commentary in those days. They didn't analyse every shot to death then! Much better to have some pauses. I think they talk too much these days in the commentary box
Jimmy White has no killer instinct. Missed way too many opportunities to end frames right from the start. At this time of history it was a young man’s game. Rockit Ronnie has broken that narrative by staying fit. Game also benefits the taller lankier player. Jimmy is short chunky and duck footed. Even in pool athleticism is important.
He had it but pressure got to him when he missed that straight forward black. A ball Jimmy would pot 9 times out of 10 and clear up. I remember this well as I was praying he would clear up
Jimmy didn't half pot some beaut'S with confidence, but Hendry just 'kept his head more' tbf. Maybe had the 'run of the ball' a tad more too. Cheers for this fave anyway.
Was this final filmed in a Covid ward? Very annoying to watch with people coughing up more lungs than points on the scoreboard. Embassy must have put 200 cigerettes on every seat before start of play.
Interesting that the referee was chastising the crowd for shouting out encouragement. At that time the crowd was supposed to pay for admission but, not say anything at all ( except end of frame). They would be shocked at how " rowdy" the crowds are these days. Glad they pulled the stick out, it makes the game more fun.

😂
Im watching it now😂
Jimmy made me cry a lot as a kid
watching these older games, it's annoying they didn't have the scores permanently on the screen.

Broke my heart all them years ago but was one of the best finals
I only watched this for the white miss on the black still shudder when he misses it as the commentator says he saw the title and blinked so heart wrenching for him and every fan
That twitched black! Just heartbreaking. You can tell as soon as he did that it’s game over
Fantastic match. Only started watching snooker about ten years ago so missed everything before then
The 80s/90s were the golden years, you missed the best bro.
what a final this was, just an epic, epic clash
This never gets easier to watch.
I don't think even Hendry wanted to win this last frame. He was like "oh FFS, Jimmy. Not again bottling it."
Well, watching that (again) consumed an entire day. Thanks, walters.
This was the year Jimmy could have won his world snooker championship, a great champion still the same, people's favorite no doubt, admire him immensely.
Hendry asking for the free ball call to be checked at 16-15 is just unbelievable sportsmanship. 7:49:25

He alway went for one shot too many, and it cost him big.
Not in hendrys league
Again at 2:10 Ted Lowe is wrong saying only Steve Davis won 3 consecutive world titles. Ray Reardon won 4 consecutive 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976.
Well he's entitled to make mistakeS isn't/wasn't he. Bless... He didn't have Wikipedia like you & I unfortunately... RIP 🔥Absolute LEGEND 🔥
Not at the Crucible Ray didn't which Ted probably meant at the time
@@nickycotton6137
There was no such thing as wikipedia back then.
@@dvidclapperton Exactly 🤔! edit: No sh*t Sherlock.
He probably meant at the Crucible. He would have known that Joe Davis won a lot more than 3 consecutive titles.
I was 13 at the time and i remember this match well. Totally gutted he didnt win.
It's nice being a relatively new fan of snooker because I have no clue who wins the old matches.
If your just watching the world's in the 90s a common theme's developed. Hendry not missing into a middle pocket and Jimmy bottling it
To summarise if it’s a big final and Jimmy White is playing he will almost certainly lose... 👍
I'm sick for jimmy white and I wasn't even alive when these matches were taking place.
Awe, PLENTY in the vaults for you to enjoy, get frustrated with or be on 'the edge of your seat' with etc etc.
A very memorable final feels like only yesterday
thanks so another 30 years from now and i'll be nearly 70 if I live that long!
jimmy's fault start at 51:35, the same angle compared to his last frame black ball shot.
Well spotted. It seems identical
I think so Jimmy doesn't want to win
Hendry is the greatest of all the time

Stephen Hendry made Jimmy go bald.
@Peter Fawkes When he missed that black tho, that is when the bald patch appeared.
So did someone who 'mugged me'. Hendry's still got his & even Shearer hasn't. Blimey! Talk about perfection..
Jimmy got so many chances yet he blew it. Not written in the books for Jimmy to.take the world championship
I remember this like yesterday. Was sad when Jimmy choked.
Great upload thanks
Poor Jimmy. So gracious and good-humoured in defeat, even though he must have been dying inside.
Even Hendry admitted he felt sorry for him after that. He said he had his whole commiseration speech prepared when thought White was going to clear up
It's rather easy in 90's games, Hendry wins most of the times. He was phenomenal in these days.In my opinion better than O' Sullivan on his best.
