2 In 1976 world championship final Higgins not conceed early before Reardon had reached the winning post Reardon won the frame he needed to win the match 27 16 However Higgins did conceed several frames early when he could still have techniclaly won them 3 While it is correct that Higgins was ranked number 2 on two occassions since the ranking list was created in 1976 it is worth noting that for the 1982 1983 list Higgins had two ranking points deducted for misconduct Otherwise he would have been ranked number one based on tournament performance The article does not list many of Higgins tournament victories I would suggest adding 1972 Irish Professional Champion beat Rea 28 12 1973 Men of the Midlands beat Reardon 5 3 1975 Canadian Open beat Pulam 15 7 1977 Canadian Open beat Spencer 17 14 1978 Benson and Hedges Masters beat Thorburn 7 5 1978 Irish Professional Champion beat Dennis Taylor 21 7 1979 Irish Professional Champion beat Patsy Fagan 21 13 1979 Tolly Cobbold Classic beat Reardon 5 4 1980 British Gold Cup beat Reardon 5 1 1980 Padmore Super Crysalate International beat Mans 4 2 1980 Tolly Cobbold Classic beat Dennis Taylor 5 4 1980 Pontins Professional Championship beat Dennis Taylor 9 7 1981 Benson and Hedges Masters beat Griffiths 9 5 1983 Irish Professional Championship beat Dennis Taylor 16 11 1984 World Doubles Championship with Jimmy White beat Thorburn and Thorne 10 2 1985 1986 1987 World Team Championship playing for Ireland 1989 Irish Professional Championship beat Jack McLaughlin 9 7
