What are your memories/observations of this Crucible Classic?

Hendry was devastating in the second session of that match. You could see he was going to become the player he was.

Yeah. I knew he was good, but that second session had me thinking: 'This fella's a bucking special player'. So it proved, sadly.

White stood up to the onslaught superbly well. Outstanding match.

I think this is the BBC match later.

This was just before I was born. I remember hearing about this match on this video
