Alex Higgins' ridiculous shot on the blue playing against Jimmy White is arguably the greatest shot ever made in professional snooker. He went on to win that frame and the match in the final frame with a 16-15 victory, followed by a victory over the legendary Ray Reardon in the final (who had previously beaten Higgins in the 1976 World Championship). That was the 1982 World Championship.

I guess you underestimate the difficulty of reproducing Maguire's shot!

I have watched thousands of top quality snooker shots over the years. IMO the unfashionable Peter Edbon's pink ball was THE GREATEST SHOT EVER IN THE HISTORY OF SNOOKER, because of the context. Semi-final of the World Championships, if he missed he was out of the tournament. This shot inspired him to comeback and win the match against the odds and then do exactly the same in the final in the deciding frame against Stephen Hendry, one of the all time greats and become World Champion! Peter Ebdon, often gets slated by SOME of the snooker world for being a slow and deliberate player, but he was someone who did not have the natural talent of say a Jimmy White, however, he absolutely maximised his potential with his incredible attitude and application. He left the game of snooker not only being able to say "I won the world title" but also being able to say "I once played probably the best shot in the history of the game!". Well done Peter Ebdon!
