Huge congrats to Milkins, and shout out to Shaun's amazing sportsmanship

His speed, his hit, his style, his confidence. Milkins is quite a character

Great achievement of Milkins . He won £230,000. After 27 seasons on the professional circuit, he finally reaped the rewards of so much effort and dedication. In all these years this was only his second title. Last year he had won the Gibraltar open, which is obviously a much more modest tournament. But the biggest award, if I'm not mistaken, was being at the top of the ranking so far in the season, which provided him with a bonus of 150 thousand. Merited. It shows how sport is generous in allowing it to be practiced as long as you are healthy. It also shows, and mainly, how it is worth never giving up. You can imagine how much he must have been criticized for giving up family life, looking for another activity... A lot of resilience. A Dreams that came True

Imagine the travelling Bobby has done in 27 + years trying to earn a living for him and his family,im sure his wife always knew when he was coming home 🏡 as he wasn't ever around for a Sunday final...the struggles,the despair, the never giving up, that takes absolute courage and some big big balls just to carry on...so so happy for him and he deserves everything coming to him and more,well done my man

Congrats to Milkman, and huge shout out to Murphy.

i'm so pleased for Robert. he's been an absolute joy to watch this last few weeks.

I have not watched Robert much in the past, but I know how long he has played, and I can only imagine how much this must mean to him and his family. I hope he continues to build on this wonderful victory and gets a few more in the bag. A heartwarming success story for a man who just would not give up and held his nerve for the biggest pay day of his career

A lot of people talking about Milkins aggresive shot taking nature but his safety play has been second to none these past few weeks. He’s aways been an incredible potter but the fact that he’s touched up on his defensive game, knowing when to cut his losses and play a telling safety has landed him this prize. Well done lad!

Congratulations to milkins…Wow murphys been in great form now for around 6 months maybe a little longer and he just keep bumping into someone having there best days surely he’s got a win in him again in the near future

Best final I've seen in ages well done the milkman

The contrast in styles couldn't be bigger. Murphy - always the smiling showman and cocky aristocratic joker with his flamboyant cue action. Milkins - the hard-working, down-to-earth working-class fellow with his simply "see ball, hit ball" approach. So nice to see Milkins winning in this match-up, he was the better player.

The milkman has delivered, well done!

Congrats to both players! A great result for snooker.

I teared up a little when he fist pumped there.... that was a special😯

Brilliant snooker to watch. Awesome finish by Milkins. Full credit to Shaun Murphy for his tremendous sportsmanship and humility, Shaun is a class act, a true gent and tremendous ambassador for snooker. Well done both of you.

Great win Milkins! Long time coming!!!

Just such an attractive player to watch, we need to embrace and nurture fast players. Fully deserved win.

Yet another outstanding delivery by milkman!

Brilliant Robert, played fearless snooker all week, great to watch well deserved 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Theres no other person i want to hear in commentary other than the one and only John Virgo

He worked hard on improving his defensive game and its paying off big time! A few months ago I would never imagined Robert Milkins playing one good safetys after another in the whole match. Congrats!!

He’s always been fun to watch. Great to see him win.

Wow, I remember Milkins getting slaughtered by Ronnie way back win, slowly winning again and again, then this. Congrats, happy for you. As well as Murphy.

Fantastic break! It was starting to feel a bit like the famous Alex Higgins break against Jimmy White in 1982 where every shot kept getting harder and harder but somehow he'd still put them in. Well deserved 👍

Well deserved and well overdue. Top quality snooker, love his fast, no nonsense style of play. Your odds at the worlds have just changed considerably..!

seriously He DESERVED it !! Congracts to Robert Milkins

Met him the one time, absolute gentlemen. Congratulations 💪

Congratulations, what a player Robert Milkins.

Well done Milkins. So good to hear JV!

Milkins deserved to win the trophy🏆 He was one of the most snooker player who can keeping his style playing and enjoying snooker for his career. I salute to his fighting heart and the attitude is amazing. Looking forward there's another trophy he will grab in the near future. 🌟Congratulations🌟

Thank you for all you've shared on KZfaq.

Fantastic incredible for Milkins all the money problems he’s had in the past wonderful sportsmanship sean

He deserves it ❤️ What a season of snooker. Murphy's done great too. But the Milkman is the real GOAT 🐐

Milkins has improved a lot

Well done Mr Milkins. Welcome to the winners table mate.

he is a beauty, very happy to see him win 🎉

I love it when a veteran player with a quite modest record wins a major tournament. Like a couple of years ago when Mark King won Nothern Ireland Open. These are emotional moments indeed! Milkman played well and it was well deserved.

Congratulations to Mr. Robert Milkins!

Special moment, really enjoyed it, pretty emotional too, loved it, carry on Rob, you've got a few more wins in the tank I think, enjoy my man, so happy for you, fucking brilliant!

He really deserved that title! 👍

So happy for Milkins!!!

A nice paycheque and a place in the top 16 ensuring an increase in future earnings ….Well done Rob, you deserve it 😊😊😊

Tears in mi eyes for t lad! 😅 this is what sport is all about absolutely love it!!! 😅😅💪🏼 get in milky lad 😅

He's got to be floating and numb right now, good for you Rob.

Okay but that red along the cushion after the black was fire

that murphy shot to break open the reds was a classic john higgins special. "you can keep missing missing missing yeah". lmao.

Fantastic! Well pleased for ya Milkman 😉

Congrats to Robert from Canada !!

Great win and well deserved for Robert Milkins

Congrat mr mr. Milkins 👍

The Milkman delivers 👏

Well done Rob. Dreams do come true!

I'm sincerely happy for Milkins. That said, the opening miss here is so easy it harkens to S. Lee (yes, and others).

Se lo merece 👏👏👏👏 Bravo Robert Milkins 👏👏👏👏

Lovely guy , so happy some1 dream has come true , shaun chin up , your already a legend in snooker and a name that comes up evertime l think off snooker , 147 !

2:25 wow, that's a steady bridge he did!

One of the few top players without the manufactured, almost obligatory pause in the backswing.. Jimmy White comes to mind and also Ronnie, who really just has a long, slow backswing with the bare minimum of pause.

Congrats Robb😃😃👏👏

He played well deserved the win

Very good for snooker I love his fast play but, if the top guys are on form he will have to think More on safety and slow down just a bit. Well done Rob take care and stay safe mate. Tom.

We done , what a payday.

поздравляю Роберта,заслужил!!))

As a snooker lover, I've been focused on him for a few years. He's sharp and offensive player which is really good. I wouldn't want to compare with other player but kind of Ronnie's style. His problem was, concentration. He was so up and down in the games and he lost so many games which he could win easily until now. I always believed that; He's full of potential and ignored his age. Last frame against Mark Allen was epic. Keep going Robert, this is your turn :)

Congrats, Robert!!

Congratulations 🎊

Enough emotion to make anyone cry

Something nice about Milkins, Day, Gary Wilson and Ding's turnarounds this season.

What a shame poor old "I played for that Fluke" Murphy couldn't pull out another one and luck his way to the title. Congratulation Milkins!!

Congrats

I watched every frame in this competition and David deserved the cup.

Powerful man

The Milkman not used to winning did even realise the handshake was coming!

Congrats to the Milkman!

Legend!

Greatv result for snooker...

WELL DONE ROBERT !!!

Gänsehaut

Milkins....Bravooo

Well done Robert I’m sure that Shaun was pleased for you but that red Shaun missed just goes to show that potting the ball is more important than position but Robert still had to pot them to win, held himself together and compiled the winning break

Do you what I'm watching UK championship now with milkins against osulivan I like his style of play id never really observed him before but win or lose ill be checking him out in the future

The milkman delivered when he needed to well played rob take a bow

YAAASSSS ROBERT AT LAST LAD, A PINT WAITING FOR YOU BACK IN GLOUCESTER, WHEN YOUR BACK, FROM SCOUSE NICK, YNWA J97 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🍻🍻🍻🍻😀😀

Well done

Milkman GOAT

Milkins well done!

Murphy the biggest bottler in snooker finals.

SALUTE man well deserved RESULT 💪🏻💥 🏴 lad 🥊 …….

Milkins the GOAT

O so really nice bloke's DO WIN major trophies then !!!

I dont think the big players care enough about these events. Gives these type of players a chance...

Cometh the hour, cometh the Milkman

Popular winner...

Lets be honest, it felt like Milkins was winning two weeks ago, if he'd got past Carter in the semi-final. Deserved.

So how close does this get Milkins to the top 16 now?

Do we think the recent 147 gave him some juice? (Nice one for the old guys!)

👏🏻🙏🏻🔺️

I find it hard to believe that Murphy would have played a crucial shot so recklessly.

And the Milkman didn’t bottle it! Big congrats to Robert, and huge props to Shaun for some lovely sportsmanship!

Love Milkins, hate Murphy, perfect!!!

Gan on Milzza bonny lad!
