Davis v Taylor - The '85 Black Ball Final (Part 6 of 6)

2010 marks the Silver Jubilee of one of British sport's golden moments - the 1985 World Championship Snooker final. At its peak, over 18 and a half million people sat glued to their sets as Steve Davis and Dennis Taylor battled past midnight to a final and deciding black ball.

I love the post match interview bit. It's so typical of the two at the time - Taylor speaks his heart out and Davis answers with one word ("No"). Of course, I mean typical of the old (young?) Davis - the current one is nothing like that of course!

Steve Davis is my favourite player he should've won the title 8,9 or even 10 times but i don't want to take away the glory of Dennis because he grafted for that title & deserved it & the same could be said about that unknown the year after lol
