Entire families sitting around the TV in the living room in nearly every home glued to the big snooker games of the day. Nearly 20 million people watched the late night final of Taylor - Davis in the UK and now, in 2023, it still holds the record for the highest viewership of any TV show after midnight.

I fell in love with this game as a child and begged, pleaded, adjured (and any other verb you can think of) for a snooker table. Finally my dad relented, but not a snooker table, a pool table! I played the living daylights out of that table, often playing well past midnight. I modeled my style after Steve Davis - there was just something about the way he played. Now, at almost 50, it is still the most amazing sport to me. Some days the pockets seem the size of a dustbin then, others, like I am playing with a damn broomstick.

It seems that Steve had a problem closing out matches against Irish ☘️ men, after having held a big lead. About a year and a half earlier, Alex Higgins had managed to reel him in, 16-15, having earlier trailed him 7-0. in the 1983 United Kingdom Championship Final. Dennis went one better, having lagged 8-0 after the first session of the 1985 World Championship Final, eventually staggering over the line on the last black, winning 18-17, having never led by so much as one frame until the very last pot of the match. At the time in 1985 some ill-informed people were saying it was a fix, but snooker was big business in the 80’s and winning meant lucrative offers from businesses who wanted successful players to endorse their products. In my view only a fool would take a bribe to lose and Steve Davis is a multimillionaire, and definitely not a fool. Nevertheless, it’s incredible that someone so composed as Steve at his peak lost two such contests. It just goes to show what nerves and self doubt can do to even the best of players in a long contest.

I'm especially sorry for Un Nooh missed the black ball. His reaction afterwards was like a ten year old child who had just caused a fire accident and burned the house down while his parents were not at home ,He was very scared and didn't know what to do ,It was heartbreaking to watch …It makes me want to give him a hug⋯

I remember watching the 1998 Masters Final in front of a 14” Tv with 15 other students at Northumbria University and what a final that was.

Nothing will beat that Davis V Taylor '85 final for drama - a third of the UK stayed up to watch it live. You'd never get that now for anything!

I’ll never forget Ken’s miss on the black for the Max. Being from Dublin myself and would later meet Ken a few times and played a frame, my heart went out to him. He did all the hard work and missed the easy black off the spot and I’d say he still has the odd nightmare over that one.

Did think the footage looked a lot older

Even Steve Davis could crack under pressure, missing that angled black so near to the pocket. The following shot, Dennis Taylor really took his time over, but still missed it by 6 inches. When he finally potted it, see how much time he took over such a simple shot, because he needed to. Pressure does strange things to mind and body coordination. When u really want to get the important shots, u turn back into a newb. It takes a lot of mental effort and mind tricks to overcome.

Although every one miss in this video meant something special to the player concerned I find the Jimmy White missed black the most painful for me. I remember watching this match and was willing Jimmy to win after failing 4 times I believe to win the world championship. He had many chances in that last frame. I remember him taking a very risky and brave shot with the long rest and spider among the reds and potted the ball. And when all became easy as we can see with all the remaining reds loose he rushed that black. I could not sleep all night.

Loved this vid, despite the could of/could've thing... That final black shootout between Hendry and Williams was proper tense. Probably only the 1985 World Final that beats that for tension.

Davis’s miss wasn’t the sitter that most people usually claim that it was. The black was about eighteen inches from the right Baulk pocket, looking from Davis’s side of the table and the cue ball was near the side cushion. It would have been a good shot from that angle because it was a big cut needed, which he actually over cut and not under cut, as might have been expected in such a situation.

one of the best thing in snooker is when somebody gets close to 147, even opponent supports him, feels the pain if missed!

@joaodav

2 жыл бұрын

most interesting observation! in fact, he stares 3 times in the direction of that other player after the shot, the last he is even already in his seat and starts mumbling something in that direction. Also the other player pots his ball by the sound of it at the exact time he misses and you can see that he for an instant thinks he has potted the ball by the sound of the other potted ball, only when his eyes see the black he realises that he has missed.

The other player was Mark Joyce. He probably didn’t realise what was happening, but I would say it did put him off

The Docherty miss was in 2000, 12 years earlier than stated here, and it wasn't at the Paul Hunter Classic, which was a relatively low-key, untelevised event.

​@@EnglishPoolandSnooker You used to be able to get huge odds of 100/1 on a maximum break. Only Steve Davis had ever done it right at the start of his career. Thorburn did it in 1983 at odds of 100/1, but Corals still gave 66/1 for one at the Masters in 1984. I was going to put on a tenner, but got to the shop about 5 mins after the start of the opener and the bookie refused it, saying there might already be one unfolding. I said "Well if there is you can void it", but they still refused. I went back on the Monday before play resumed for the morning and asked again, but they turned me down again, saying the tournament had already begun, and so I had an edge, which makes no sense at all, as there are now less frames where you can get a 147. I was so angry when Kirk Stevens made one - I felt robbed!! The odds dropped then to around 20/1 - 25/1, and I put £25 on in 1987 I think the year was at odds of 20/1. Joe Johnson was reigning champion, and in his opening match he had a great chance of making a 147. He went slightly out of position on the pink and had to settle with a 134. That was even worse, as I came so close to £500. I didn't even know about it till it had already happened, so was spared the frustration of seeing his miss live.

Stephen Hendry missing that black because stun would be difficult from near the cushion and too slow it would roll off course across the nap, so he tried to make an angle to avoid following it in, got confused and overdid it. Nightmarish, but the kind of shot which will perversely crop up at a crucial moment.

I'm convinced it was a guilty conscience. He was caught touching the cue ball when preparing his shot a number of times as the long night wore on. I reckon he touched the cue ball and the referee missed it; he then realised the table was at his mercy. He had to take a dirty win or give Hendry another chance and hope he messed it up.
