"The Story of Snooker"

Introduced by Steve Davis OBE and narrated by Clive Everton.

VHS Double Video (PAL) - Running Time 140 mins.   Released 2003.


Gives no detail about the earliest history of the game but does include archive film of a youngish Joe Davis. The most time is given to the World Championships with many memorable moments from the Crucible Theatre being included. Perhaps the most notable being the 69 clearance by Alex Higgins against Jimmy White in the 1982 semi-final, often described as the greatest break ever made under pressure. Sadly this is the only break shown apart from a speeded up version of Ronnie O'Sullivan's 5½ minute 147.
