Embassy World Professional Snooker Championship at The Crucible, Sheffield - A Glimpse into the Golden Era of Snooker
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print captured by renowned photographer Phil Spencer, we are transported back to the thrilling atmosphere of the Embassy World Professional Snooker Championship at The Crucible in Sheffield. Dated 13th April 1981, it showcases two legendary figures of the game - Steve Davis and Alex "Hurricane". Higgins. The image exudes a sense of nostalgia as it takes us back to the vibrant ambiance of snooker's golden era in the 1980s. As we observe closely, we notice both players engrossed in an intense match, their eyes focused on every move they make with their cues. However, what truly sets this photograph apart is its depiction of a different time. It captures an era when smoking was still prevalent within sports arenas; cigarettes delicately balanced on ashtrays beside each player serve as a reminder of those times long gone. Additionally, a glass filled with what appears to be a refreshing drink sits nearby – perhaps offering some respite during breaks between frames. This remarkable snapshot encapsulates not only the skill and determination exhibited by these two snooker icons but also provides us with a glimpse into how sport has evolved over time. It serves as a testament to the enduring legacy left behind by these great players and reminds us why snooker continues to captivate audiences worldwide even today.
