Snooker legends Steve Davis and Dennis Taylor team up to relive their iconic Crucible final in 1985: 'To finish on the last ball after 17 days, you couldn't have written a script like that' Forty years have passed but Dennis Taylor is still reminded of it every day.
18 million viewers tuned in to watch tuned in as Dennis overcome Davis on the black.
One man who would have every right to be fed up of it is Steve Davis, who joins his old rival and colleague back stage at Alexandra Palace fresh from his stint in the BBC studio.
‘At some stage in my life, I should be allowed to forget that I missed that black,’ laughs the 67-year-old, who jokingly strangles Taylor as the Northern Irishman replicates his iconic cue-above-head celebration for the purpose of Mail Sport’s pictures.
Dennis won his first and only world championship when he beat Davis 40 years ago.
