STEVE DAVIS MBE OBE |
| Having turned professional in 1978, Steve Davis won the World Snooker Championship title 6 times during the 1980s - a record at the time! |
| Perhaps his most famous match was the 1985 final against Dennis Taylor. In a nail-biting match that saw a record post-midnight audience on British television & a record audience for the BBC of 18 million people, Taylor finally defeated Davis 18 frames to 17, winning the final frame on the final ball. |
| Davis completed the most crushing World Championship victory when he defeated John Parrott 18-3 in 1989. |
| Steve Davis became known for his coolness & impeccable conduct in high-pressure situations, earning himself the nicknames The Ginger Magician & The Nugget. |
| In 1988, Davis was named BBC Sports Personality of the Year. The same year he was made an MBE & was awarded an OBE in 2001. |
| His record of six world titles in the modern era has been bettered only be Stephen Hendry & as yet no player has matched this tally. |
| Steve Davis still retains his place as one of the world's top snooker players. |
