Gods Of Snooker

2 Dvds – 3 Episodes
Alex Higgins / Steve Davis / Jimmy White / Ronnie O’sullivan

The first episode explores how Alex ‘The Hurricane’ Higgins helped transform
snooker from a game played in the backrooms of working men’s clubs
to a national sporting obsession.

One of the first to spot a business opportunity was savvy Essex-based
sports promoter Barry Hearn, who had recently taken a young hopeful
called Steve Davis under his wing. Davis was the polar opposite
of people’s champion Alex Higgins

With Higgins’s career quickly spiralling out of control, Jimmy White was next
in line to take the crown of ‘people’s champion’. But Jimmy also had an
insatiable appetite for the highlife and a string of vices –
including cocaine and crack – that threatened to overshadow his
raw talent and enormous potential.
