COMEBACK king John Higgins rolled back the years with a vintage display to leave himself within touching distance of a historic hat-trick of Masters titles.
The courageous Wizard of Wishaw, 50, recovered from 3-0 and 5-3 down to beat bogeyman Judd Trump 6-5 in an Ally Pally classic.
It has been 15 years since Higgins pocketed one of snooker's Triple Crown majors and, with a special win, he became the oldest-ever Triple Crown finalist in the sport's illustrious history.
