One, in particular, remains pure genius amid the hell-raising Hurricane's legendary Guinness guzzling of yesteryear. Ad Ireland's evergreen 1997 world champion Ken Doherty faced Higgins in what turned out to be the Hurricane's final match at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield in 1994, the scene of his totemic second world triumph in 1982 and that swashbuckling do-or-die run of 69 against White in an epic 16-15 semi-final win.

In the fourth frame of White’s second round match against Luca Brecel at the Northern Ireland Open, which he lost 4-0, Williams wrongly called which ball The Whirlwind was going for.
