I got confused too
Still not sure which one was correct
Anyway…
This Ranking final featured two players who would go on to hit the very heights of the sport; the younger man, in his first major final, would win it; for his opponent it was a second defeat in three Rankkng finals to date, but there was plenty of glory around the corner for him…

Two future World Champions involved.
The tournament used to be part of the BBC’s mythical ‘Grand Slam’, before it’s demise led to the creation of the equally mythical (though now ‘official’) Truple Cruen.

John Higgins vs Ronnie O'Sullivan 1995 Grand Prix final? I'm not certain if they met in a Grand Prix final then but it's an ambitious attempt.

‘this not correct, sir - but thank you for playing.
Only 35p for a second guess. Leave your money with the gatekeeper.

I had a feeling ESH or Cyril would swoop in and take this - this is of course correct
(But I’ll still give you a free guess, Judders

Ranking final. The winner made 4 century breaks but struggled home in a deciding frame in 7hrs 28 mins.
It was the victor's ninth and final ranking tournament win.

English Amateur Final…
A future world professional champion came a cropper against a man who could then be described as the people’s champion of his day. The match was played before a huge crowd of 1,300, in a 3-session match. The victor had recovered from 4 down with 5 to play in his semi-final against another future world professional champion.

Houlihan v Spencer (and vs Reardon was the semi-final).
No idea of the year, though. 1964?

Very good, Sir.
It was 1965 and the venue - Blackpool Tower Circus

Neither of those. This is actually the critical point of the match. I'll give another clue later today if no one guesses it.

The frame score was 9-6 to player B and a controversial refereeing decision was about to occur.
It is a 1990s Crucible match, but Alex Higgins wasn't involved!

The match was a second round match. The winner went on to reach a Crucible best of semi-final.
