Snooker 147 hd games tv#
Not content with becoming the first world champion outside the United Kingdom in the modern era, the Crucible king of 1980 brought the crowd to their feet - not to mention the millions glued to their TV sets - with another history-making feat in the fourth frame of a match he was leading 2-1. April 23, 2nd round v Terry Griffiths (15 mins, 36 secs).
Here's every 147 in Crucible history, and you'll notice only three of them came in defeat, including the most recent by Higgins against Kurt Maflin. Hendry (seven titles), O'Sullivan (five titles), Higgins (four titles) and Williams (three titles) are the only four who have won multiple world titles and managed a Crucible maximum. Of the 11 Crucible maximum-makers, White and Carter are the only players not to win a world title but they did both reach finals on numerous occasions, with the Whirlwind doing so in 1984, 1990, 1991, 1992, 19 and Carter managing it in 20. Mark Williams (2005), Ali Carter (2008) and John Higgins (2020) are the only other two players to have managed 147s in the World Championship at the Crucible. Interestingly, the closest anyone has ever got to breaking the 'impossible' record in any event is O'Sullivan himself during the 2003 World Championship when clocking a time of 6:30 against Marco Fu.
