PLref can have it though and ask the next question as he identified the player and the year and that it was a qualifier.
I'll get the consolation bonus point and a bottle of coke though

I'll wait till this evening. If PLref doesn't ask a question by say 8pm then I'll ask one.

I'll ask a question then to keep things moving.
This should be easy, first Crucible final to finish with a session to spare.

This player won a final frame decider and the title after requiring penalty points (a snooker) to win.

Higgins v Williams in the UK 2010 or White v Thorburn in the Mercentile Credit Classic in 1986. Both were finals whereby the decider was won after needing one or more snookers, can't remember how many Higgins needed.

I know the answer to this... Alex Higgins v Steve Davis at the Worlds wasn't it? 1983?

You got it; the BBC switchboard is jammed with complaints when they switch to live coverage of the SAS storming the Iranian embassy after a four day siege. The snooker is soon restored, and the siege is relegated to BBC2
One of my earliest wataching memories, that

Last ever match of this great referee, and what a match it was, a classic Crucible Final. Name the match and the referee.

bucking hell, that was a pure punt. The classic match was the giveaway; 1994 seemed a bit early from the little I know of Williams.
Will think of a question between sessions if that’s okay with everyone.
