Have you ever seen a *147* LIVE?,you,ve been to a good few venues/matches in your time.
Yes, I have.
I saw Ding's 147 at The Masters. I was there with a friend, and neither of us had earpieces. It wasn't until Ding got to 120 I noticed he was on it. I whispered to my mate. If you watch that frame on You Tube, it cuts to crowd reaction. There's a fat bloke in a black T-Shirt that leans over and says something to the woman next to him. That's me saying; "We nearly missed that."
Second one I saw was Stephen Henry's at The Crucible vs Bingham. To date that remains the favourite that I've seen. After years of feeling like a idiot for not paying attention to Ding's, I really wanted to see another. And it was Stephen Hendry, at The Crucible. What more can you want?
If your answer to that question was "Ronnie." Well, don't panic. The third I saw was Ronnie's against Ding in the Welsh Open final. If I remember correctly, he did that to take victory. So the last frame ever made at the Newport Centre.
And, just to sound flash, that list I made doesn't count ones I've seen at exhibitions. I saw Ronnie make one vs Jimmy in Croydon. (It was a Sunday night, and I was suffering with bad insomnia at the time. So I watched that, exhausted, and just didn't care. I saw Ronnie make a maximum, and I just wanted to go to bed...). Also, I saw Jimmy make one for Snooker Legends in Red Hill.
