You've got a snooker Tardis but you've only got enough fuel to go back and return once. Which match would you visit and why?

I'd revisit the 2006 Masters final. Last match at the Wembley Conference Centre, and one of my favourite matches of all time.

Tough one to choose, but I think I would pick the 1982 Worlds semi between Alex and Jimmy, I've watched the match on Youtube of course but if I could I would love to have watched that match live just to see how things were really different back then, watching it live would be the best possible way and also of course because it's one of the best matches of all time.

1972 world final.
Would be fantastic to see a young Alex Higgins on fire. People always say how great Alex played in that final, but there's no footage...

Marcus Campbell 9-0 Stephen Hendry
This match wasn't televised so I would loved to have seen it live as it unfolded.

I'm going forward in MY snooker tardis to watch the first 3D Snooker Box Championship match in 2067. The snooker box is cuboid and has 12 pockets.

I might go just go to 2020 and find out all the winners of all the events between now and then. When I come back, the bookies better watch out!

Though, I guess if we had a TARDIS, popping back to the Fred or Joe Davis era might be interesting. But I've already had a go, so am just throwing it out there.

2008 Worlds Final also had one, dont know if it was the same lady involved because Ronnie was contesting that match aswell. She must have a crush on him

Maybe we'll see her again...

Bloody hell, I'd forgotten that scoreline. Vintage Hendry.
For me, I'd love to go back and see Ronnie hit THAT 147 against Price at the Crucible. Ronnie in full flow, one of best things in snooker.

The 2008 streaker a male.
I was there, and if that was a woman, it was a buck ugly one.

LOL how didnt I remember that?
What was I thinking? Maybe I wanted it to be female, but yes it was a man.
But hopefully we'll have a female again, that would be lovely

I turned my phone on after the match, and I got a dozen texts going; "Was that you?"

With a Snooker Tardis, would you go back to school and learn to spell?

Prefer to watch it at the venue. Nowadays, what isn't on Youtube?
If not televised, maybe the Hendo-Campbell match.
EDIT: Ding 9-5 Hendo 2005 China Open
Ronnie 10-5 Hendo 1993 UK Champ
Ken Doherty 18-12 Hendo 1997 WSC
