Can't help thinking that was a missed opportunity for Jak. Loads of iffs n buts and to only lose by a few.
Still, an incredible achievement, well done fella.

Who was in the final Lone?
I'm thinking Cliff Thorburn...

... And Alex Higgins.

I can remember this time really well. My wife was expecting our first, and we were moving into our first house the following weekend.

Of course Terry the Postie from Lanelli , 1979 beat Denins Taylor in that final , was a qualifier then .

Just done a bit of fact finding earlier , seems he now suffers dementia , sad news .

Wilson v Jones , that four frame gap was always to Wilsons advantage at all times , including some wobblies .

Cannot see either of these two being a must watch few fames in the future though , some of it was so drab .

Once O"Sullivan starts chasing the mega bucks elsewhere , others will follow him and this event will lost again .

Fair play to Trump , he has said no way am I leaving snooker from where I am now . Hope he keeps his word .
