JOHN HIGGINS received a standing ovation at the English Open after reaching an incredible career milestone.
The Wizard of Wishaw achieved the feat during his last 16 clash with Mark Allen on Thursday.
His opponent even joined in with the applause of the crowd after Higgins’ heroics.
He has become just the second player ever to reach the milestone, which comes 32 years into his professional career.
Higgins is a four-time world champion with 13 career maximums to his name.
The 49-year-old has also been world number one on four separate occasions.
However, he can now add 1,000 career centuries to his record after a pair of ton breaks against Allen in Essex.
After an earlier 108, Higgins potted the black for a 105 in the fifth frame to reduce his opponent’s lead to 3-2.
The crowd immediately rose to their feet to applaud Higgins, who raised his hand in acknowledgement.
He could also be seen grinning after sitting in his chair, whilst Allen joined the crowd in clapping the Scottish cueist.

Higgins is the second player to achieve the feat after Ronnie O’Sullivan.
The Rocket has 1,272 to his name across his illustrious professional career, which also started back in 1992.
THE aim of snooker is to clear the table of all balls - and achieving it in an incredible 147 break is the ultimate goal.
The rectangular table features green baize, a baulk line and semi-circle, known as the D.
It has six pockets, four in each corner and two midway down both long sides.
There are 15 red balls which are arranged in a triangular shape.
There are also six colour balls, and the white cue ball.
Each colour sits on its own designated spot at the start of the game.
While red balls are worth one point when potted, the colours all have a different value.
In ascending order these are:
The first player will cue off and must hit at least one of the red balls in the triangle.
If they pot a red, they can then continue by potting a colour.
However, if no red is potted then their opponent will play the next shot – going for a red first.
Each player must first pot a red ball when it’s their turn to play. If nothing is pocketed it is the other player’s turn at the table.
After each red is potted they must then follow with a colour, then a red, then a colour, and so on.
Whilst there are still red balls on the table, the potted colour balls are returned to their designated spot.
Once all the red balls are pocketed, the player at the table must pot the colours in the order as outlined above.
If they miss then their opponent will have the opportunity to clear the table.
A 147 is a maximum break when all reds are potted by one player in one stint at the table.
In order to achieve 147, the player must pot all 15 reds with 15 blacks for 120 points.
They must then clear all the colours, concluding with the black for 27 points.
During play the rules state that the cue must only touch the white cue ball.
The cue ball also must hit the correct colour ball – reds or colours in order.
If it hits the incorrect colour then a foul is called.
If the cue ball fails to hit any ball or is pocketed it is also a foul.
The player’s turn at the table ends if they play a foul shot.
Players are also penalised if they touch any ball on the table with their person.
As well as reaching the 1,000 centuries milestone, the world number 16 also pulled of a stunning double kiss during the fourth frame.
Although he went on to lose 4-3, Higgins was proud of his achievement after the match.
He explained: “It’s a good achievement. I’ve played this game for so long to get to that milestone. You have to be proud of that.
“I’m really proud. To be honest, I wanted to get there before Judd. I thought that I have a 14 year head start on him.
“It is good to be second to Ronnie O’Sullivan, the best ever. Judd will obviously go on and probably eclipse Ronnie’s century record.
“I said to Mark that I was glad it was against an unbelievable player. I wouldn’t have liked it to be out the back on table four against a guy ranked 100. It was great to be on the main stage against him.
“We have shared some unbelievable battles over the years and that was another one.”
World number one Judd Trump could reach the milestone this week and currently sits on 998.
He took to social media to congratulate Higgins, writing on X: “Congratulations to John Higgins for making 1,000 centuries… what a career!!”
The Ace in the Pack faces Wu Yize in the quarter-finals at the Brentwood Centre on Friday.
Meanwhile, Allen’s reward for beating Higgins is a meeting with Chris Wakelin for a place in the last four.
SEPTEMBER has been the most packed month of the year for gaming, but it’s not over just yet.
While we take in the final few days, there are still plenty of big hitters to end off the month.
Not only that but people have already started prepping their wallets for October, which is set to be even bigger.
With all that said, gamers are looking for a bargain, ways to keep up to date with the latest releases without paying that new game price tag.
That’s where Xbox is stepping in, with the chance to play Bethesda’s upcoming story as part of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC.
Xbox has come under fire recently for the decision to increase the price of Xbox Game Pass and to remove one of its better value tiers.
Game Pass for Console has been replaced with Game Pass Standard, which includes online play, but removes access to day-one releases.
Around 50 games have been removed as part of the swap to the new service, giving poor value to those who love single-player games.
Among the games that were lost in the shuffle is Xbox’s biggest exclusive of 2023, Starfield.
However, if you’re an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, or Xbox Game Pass for PC subscriber, you can still take advantage of the upcoming release.
Starfield: Shattered Space will launch on Monday, September 30, 2024, and is the first of two major expansions for the game.
The story expansion focuses exclusively on the planet of Va’ruun’kai, which means it’s very different from the base game’s focus of interplanetary exploration.
Bethesda has suggested that it will be a very narrative-focused DLC, meaning that there will be lots of story beats to enjoy.
While gameplay is focused around one planet, that doesn’t mean you will be stuck for things to do as Bethesda has promised more than 50 locations to explore.
It’s unclear whether you will need to have completed Starfield in order to dive into the Shattered Space DLC, but the base game is also included with Game Pass Ultimate and PC subscriptions.
If you want to play the DLC on the day that it is released, then all you have to do is navigate to Starfield’s store page on the Microsoft Store.

VLADIMIR Putin is telling Russians to start having sex at work in an attempt to counter the plummeting birth rates.
The Kremlin is set to implement a sex-at-work scheme after too many citizens reportedly complained of not having enough time or energy for late night romps with their loved ones.
The plan has been proposed by a health minister after Putin made an urgent demand to increase the number of people having babies.
It will see staff allowed to get it on during their lunch and coffee breaks in peace.
Bosses have even been told to encourage all midday romps.
Russian Doctor Yevgeny Shestopalov is pushing for the scheme to be implemented and sees it as a way to stop “lame excuses”.
He said: “Being very busy at work is not a valid reason, but a lame excuse.
“You can engage in procreation during breaks, because life flies by too quickly.”
Putin has said in the past that “the fate of Russia depends on how many of us there will be”.
Calling the huge push for more babies a “question of national importance”.
Give birth, give birth and give birth again, you need to give birth
Zhanna Ryabtseva
Blinkered politician Tatyana Butskaya, 49, has even drawn up a blueprint plan telling Russian employers to coerce women into having babies.
She said:“Large families are becoming the new elite so [regional] governors should report on the birth rate.
“Each employer should look at their workplace, what is your birth rate?
“This is exactly how we should pose this question, we will monitor it.”
The sex-at-work scheme is just one of many initiatives in Russia aimed at women and couples.
In Moscow, women aged 18 to 40 are being told to attend free fertility checks to assess their “reproductive potential”.
Several regions are even offering students cash rewards if they give birth.
Chelyabinsk is paying any mum under 24 a whopping £8,500 for the birth of their first child.
Karelia has a similar scheme with them paying £850.
A number of prominent Putin politicians have been ordering their residents to think about having children from a young age.
Anna Kuznetsova has demanded women should have their first born before they reach 21 so they can go on to have multiple other children.
As MP Zhanna Ryabtseva has echoed similar thoughts saying women should already be thinking about having kids by the time they reach 18.
She said: “Give birth, give birth and give birth again, you need to give birth.”
Russia’s current fertility rate is just 1.5 children per woman.
This is far below the typical rate of 2.1 which most researchers agree is vital to keep up a stable population.
The population of Russia is expected to take a worrying nosedive over the next 25 years.
Projections say the 144 million population Putin controls as of today will drop to under 130 million by 2050.
Critics say Putin’s invasion of Ukraine is to blame for the shrivelling birth rate.
Almost 640,000 Russian soldiers have been killed since the fighting started in February 2022, according to Ukraine.
This has torn families apart with fathers and husbands yet to return home.
The uncertainties of war are also said to be scaring young couples away from starting a family.
THE official number of Vlad's offspring is two, according to the Kremlin.
These are a pair of daughters, Maria Vorontsova, 39, and Katerina Tikhonova, 37.
Both come from his previous marriage to ex-first lady Lyudmila Putina.
Their marriage lasted 30 years, spanning Mr Putin’s rapid rise to the top of Russia’s political system.
Tikhonova started as an acrobatic dancer in her younger years before she went on to spearhead a major new Russian artificial intelligence initiative.
Vorontsova has built a career in medical research, is an expert on dwarfism and married to a Dutch businessman, Jorrit Faassen.
But, independent journalists recently confirmed Putin has a number of other hidden children.
Two sons, Ivan, nine and Vladimir, five, have reportedly grown up with the tyrant and his longterm lover Alina Kabaeva, 41.
They have already confirmed another daughter, Luiza, 21, born from an extra-marital relationship with a cleaner turned millionaire.
NEWLY-SINGLE Joey Essex has revealed whether or not he’ll do Love Island All Stars following his split from Jessy Potts.
We exclusively revealed the villa couple had called it quits just seven weeks after flying home from Mallorca.
It’s paved the way for a potential second shot at love when All Stars series two airs in the New Year, but Joey insists it’s not on his radar.
Speaking at the Iconic Bronze Tan end of summer party in Dublin, Joey told Goss.ie: “Unfortunately we just parted ways. I wish her all the best.
“I mean not right now, no. That’s definitely not in the pipeline right now. No, no, no.”
Joey, 34, was joined at the glam bash by his cousin Chloe Sims, 42.
Towie legend Chloe looked stylish in a black mini dress, tights and kitten heels, while Joey matched in an oversized jumper.
Reality veteran Joey smiled throughout the night and didn’t look to be showing any clear signs of heartbreak following his split.
He told us this week: “Unfortunately, we have decided to call an end to the relationship but I hope we can continue to be friends.
“I truly wish Jessy the very best with whatever she does in the future.”
And Jessy, 25, added: “I appreciate the Love Island experience I had with Joey, we tried to make it work but it wasn’t to be.
“I’m so grateful to everyone who supported us and look forward to all of the exciting opportunities ahead.”
Joey and Jessy battled split rumours since leaving the villa, with their busy schedules meaning they were unable to spend time together.
The Sun revealed Joey is eyeing up a career change and will soon enter a training camp to become a boxer.
A source added: “Joey has always been super busy and things got even more hectic after the villa.
“He’s now going away to boxing camp as well so things were just getting hard.
“Jesy also had her own thing going on and was here, there and everywhere after the show. It was too difficult to keep up with each other.”
Joey is in talks to take on either Tommy Fury, KSI or Jake Paul in a huge, marquee fight in 2025.
An insider explained: “Joey’s always been into his fitness but in recent years has become more and more passionate about boxing.
“Joey is excited about this new venture and looks forward to one day taking on the titans of the ropes.”
He has also raked in a staggering £250k in promotional appearances following his time in the villa.
Sam Faiers – Joey dated Towie co-star Sam Faiers from 2011.
The pair were one of the original Essex duos, and were together on and off for three years before ending the relationship for good in September, 2014.
Amy Willerton – Joey was rumoured to be dating his I’m A Celeb co-star Amy Willerton in 2013, when they both appeared on the show together.
Stephanie Pratt – Made In Chelsea star and US born socialite, Stephanie Pratt, dated Joey for three months.
They fell for each other while appearing in Celebs Go Dating and shared a steamy kiss in Joey’s swimming pool.
But he dumped her in October 2016 for making him “spend too much time in Chelsea”.
Lorena Medina – Joey met model Lorena Medina on MTV reality show Ex On The Beach in 2019.
Their relationship seemed to be going well after Joey showed her around his hometown of Chigwell in Essex. But the pair split in February 2020.
Lorena had moved into his home in Chigwell, Essex, in September 2019, but they had a furious bust-up after he was snapped entering singer Rita Ora’s home in the early hours of the morning.
Rita Ora – Joey’s ex Lorena revealed to The Sun that she dumped Joey after he spent a wild night out with Rita Ora early in 2020.
He was holed up for 13 hours in Rita’s mansion after the pair had tried to avoid being seen together by taking separate cars between venues.
However, the pair have denied that there was anything romantic between them.
Joey said: “We have known each other for years. She’s a nice girl but we’re just friends.”
Vanessa Bauer – Joey was rumoured to have had a brief romance with Dancing on Ice pro skater Vanessa Bauer during his stint on the hit ITV show in 2023.
Rumours of the pair’s relationship circled for months in the lead up to the show airing, with Vanessa exclusively denying the whispers to the Sun in November 2022.
The pair came runners-up during the final in March – and while it seemed like they were close on the show, it appeared to have fizzled out shortly after.
By May 2023, Joey confirmed he was single and said he could not see a future for them after the final.
BOXING fans spotted Daniel Dubois’ funny social media gaffe – drawing comparisons to an ex-Premier League star’s iconic tweet.
Dubois traded verbal jabs with Anthony Joshua at a press conference just days before their world title fight.
And he was quick to let fans know the talking is all done now – although that message may not have actually come from him.
Dubois posted a picture of himself with the caption: “Here’s a strong and engaging caption for the final press conference post:
“The final press conference is done – the talking stops here. Now, it’s time to let the fists do the talking. I’m ready for this fight. Let’s go.”
It appears Dubois accidentally forgot to delete the suggestion – leaving fans hailing him.
One said: “I think Daniel is secretly a stand up comedian and he’s got us all on toast!”
Another added: “This could be an accident or it could be deliberate: either way it is very, very funny.”
One said: “I now like him more.”
Another referenced Victor Anichebe’s infamous 2016 tweet.
ANTHONY JOSHUA VS DANIEL DUBOIS: All the information you need ahead of huge world title fight at Wembley

The former Sunderland striker posted online: Can you tweet something like: “Unbelievable support yesterday and great effort by the lads! Hard result to take! But we go again!”
Dubois also had those in attendance at the press conference in laughter after an awkward exchange with Joshua.
Both were probed on their heated clash two months ago when AJ threatened to wrap a chair around Dubois’ face.
Joshua, 34, explained: “He said, ‘Let’s go now.’ I clicked for a minute, I said, ‘What does he mean by that?’
“And then he repeated it again. And I just feel like anyone in here…”
Dubois, 27, interrupted and said: “It’s boxing. This is what happens this is boxing. These things happen so we’re fighting Saturday. Let’s go.”
Joshua, drawing a laugh from the crowd, continued: “So as I was saying.
THIS weekend Wembley will witness one of the biggest all-British fights of all-time.
But who will emerge victorious under the famous arch? Some of the biggest names in boxing have been having their say…
Oleksandr Usyk: “My favourite is Anthony Joshua but I am very bad at predictions. But I will predict Anthony Joshua.”
Dillian Whyte: “I just think that it’s one of those fights where it is a genuine 50/50 fight in my opinion.”
Joe Joyce: “I was initially edging with Joshua but I don’t know, Dubois is coming on.”
Frazer Clarke: “As heavy-handed as Dubois is and as good a fighter as he’s becoming, I still have to go for Joshua.”
Francis Ngannou: “Even though Joshua lost against Usyk twice and Dubois fought Usyk and almost knocked him down and almost won, I would still give this to Joshua.”

“At the press conference you should never let anyone take an inch because they’ll end up taking a mile. Know what I mean, Dan?”
A confused Dubois replied: “Sorry?”
Further tension was caused when the infamous sparring session between the pair was brought up.
AJ has been forced to deny he was floored by Dubois many years ago but conceded he was shaken by a left hook.
Joshua said: “He cracked me with a great shot and it’s my chance to get him back on Saturday.
“I’m looking forward to it. We sparred hundreds of rounds, innit?”
Dubois said: “It’s sparring. Now we’re fighting, it’s different. Move on now. We can move on now. Move on.”
The defending champion has been without head trainer Don Charles, leading to rumours they have sensationally split just days before the bout.
But Dubois and his camp insist Charles is actually ill with the flu and is expected to be in the corner come fight night.
Dubois said: “Everything’s good. As long as he’s in my corner on fight night. Everything’s gone well, training camp’s gone brilliant. Let’s go.”
