Steve Davis a Class Act all the way 👏👏👏👏

[@EannaButler]

Steve Davis - sheer legend. Taught the world that the game can rise to new levels. Paved the way for future stars like Hendry, Higgins and O’Sullivan. 👏👍

[@timcrook2231]

Never seen Steve Davis using a centre joined cue before - great video!

[@garethhamilton715]

He was using his dad's cue for this tourney

Steve Davis last ranking title came 16 years after his debut, Alex Higgins 18 years, Hendry 20 years, Jimmy White 24 years and Ronnie's at 29 years!

[@jamescollings1834]

Correction on Alex Higgins. He actually only won 1 ranking event and this was 10 years after his debut. This is due to the fact that all the other titles he won were non-ranking.

[@dvidclapperton]

You never got to see the Welsh Open outside of Wales many years ago.

[@151bar151]

and he was just 37 back then, which these days is almost a peak age for snooker players

[@michaeljohnson5365]

He won the 1997 Masters and came within one frame of winning the 2004 Welsh open final

​@@edmundpower1250it's an invitation event - so no ranking points. It is however, classed as one of snooker's major titles along with the UK and Worlds.

[@PeterMc141]

I was at this event in 95. I can not recall what match I watched

[@mrhufflepuff6443]

It wasn’t Steve’s last Ranking Event win as he won the 1997 Masters against Ronnie O’Sullivan so the title is wrong but great video nonetheless who doesn’t love Steve Davis!?

[@neilwakefield4370]

Masters isn't a ranking event even though more prestigious so title is correct. Yes absolutely love the nugget, in fact my all time favourite sportsman.

[@twilh]

Masters isn't a ranking event. Title is right. Learn about Snooker u 🪖

[@timothywall6477]

Phenomenal he used to punish played. Remember he beat hallet 9/0 and hallet was crying in the press conference saying I don't knw how a man can be so cruel. Lmao

[@nickhaswell6011]

That was hendry and hallet 9-0

[@edmundpower1250]

​@@nickhaswell6011Davis and Hallet. Hallet was 7-0 up on Hendry in the 1991 final and lost 9-8

[@christiano8088]

The end of an era. Tried changing his game to keep up with the younger breaking through players when he didn't need to. Over complicated everything and never recovered. One of the all time greats and always will be.

[@alanchamberlain9902]

He did his game was slightly outdated

[@stephenn4034]

Totally agree. He kept looking for ways to change his game, he didn't need to. Just play like you did against JP in the WC 89 final. It was a lack of confidence, nothing else. The other chap who replied saying his game was outdated, is totally wrong. Davis' style of play is now seen in most players since

[@alanchamberlain9902]

@@stephenn4034 How many centuries did Davis make in the 89 worlds? The occasion got to Parrot and he didn’t play at all. Steve good player but Hendry found him out and other players did.

[@stephenn4034]

@@alanchamberlain9902 Sorry but that's wrong, it was Hendry modelling his style of play on Davis' that enabled him to dominate in the 90s. Everything from his cue action, practice, the right mental approach and the tactical side of the game. The only thing he found out regarding Davis was how to win major championships

[@alanchamberlain9902]

@@stephenn4034 Hendry was a better long potter and scorer than Davis.

[@markwillcocks7701]

I think he reached only 2 ranking fials after this the welsh open 2004 and the uk 2005

[@williamneailey6756]

Sheer legend at snooker yes but has gone right down in my eyes. The number of young people now passing away taking drugs because of mental health is rising but Steve thinks it would be fun to play Dennis Taylor while on drugs. What kind of message is this sending to todays generation and being disrespectful to all those families who have lost people because of drugs. Stay a legend Steve do not do it and condemn drugs all together.

[@Cranndaddy]

??? What

[@twilh]

Weirdest comment ever 😂

[@williamneailey6756]

Your obviously not very well informed Steve davis commented a few month ago that he thought it would be fun to play a game of snooker while under the influence of drugs probably meant cannabis but still not right

[@garethrichards9572]

Bet his bookie gave him great odds on engineering a 9-3 defeat. 25 to 1 minimum lol. Cheating little tw@ he is.

[@RAMSEYM2402]

I don't buy that Hendry was just a better player. Davis had ruled snooker for many years upto that point and his game was on the turn anyways.
