John Higgins 2018 World Champion would be funny for some reason.

Hahaha

I know what you mean.

The standard of snooker in the 1998 final was the highest standard Crucible final there has been.

Ken Doherty was unlucky he played in such a strong era.

In 1999 Higgins played as good if not even better at times than he did a year before when he had won his first World title.

But Williams destroyed him in the semis.

Not a bad shout. The 2013 final would be my shout, however, even if it wasn't that exciting.

Yes, that was a similar standard. Hawkins exceeded himself and that was the making of him.

The 2015 final was a very high standard as well. In fact, In terms of scoring power even the best.

Yes, but scoring isn't everything. Doherty of 98 would have beaten them both.

Yeah could be. I suppose Doherty would have been too clever for someone like Murphy.

That 1998 Final and 2003 Final were insane standard.

The 2013 Final was one of the best too standard wise, both Hawkins and ROS played at their peak games or very close to it.

The 2015 Final was enjoyable because both players suited each other.

The third session of the 2003 final saw one of the best sessions ever played by anyone. Doherty was superb in winning that session 7-1 against Williams.

Snooker is not about luck, but about practice.

2003 was good. Ken nearly pulled off the comwback.

2013 sucked as a match, despite the standard. The result was never in doubt, despite Barry doing; "Better than expected".

I know its cliché but the 1985 final still the one in the memory for me. That's what my 10 year old self tells me even though the Hendry/White finals were awesome. But not 2002.

Same here. I was 8 years old but remember watching the '85 final. That had me hooked for life.
