This could have been another 1991 masters final with Davis replacing Hallett. 7-1, 8-2 and 8-6 were the same scores in each. In awe of Davis holding himself together with that 66 clearance to make it 9-6 rather than 8-7 and another agonising frame to play.
I think it was the greatest rivalry in snooker. Tho many wud argue Davis v A Higgins, O'Sullivan v Hendry and O'Sullivan v J Higgins were better. But two men with 13 world titles between them? Can't be bigger than that surely
Just go to show that davis was always as good as hendry, he just lost his confidence. Then 4 years later he beat Higgins at wc when he was world no1. Greatest still
Doesn't matter how good you are or what record you have broken 'there is always someone who is better 'a couple of examples 'roger bannister the 4 minute mile it was beaten '''Michael Schumacher 7 world championship s now Lewis Hamilton will beat it ''and so on 'nothing is impossible and what they said about Mike Tyson he would never be beaten and he was 'so your only as good as the time frame you live in 'your record will be beaten sometime
Davis had the best cue action of all time. Flawless
I miss Willie Thorn massively one of the characters of snooker Always enjoyed listening to him.
What a superb commentator Willie Thorne was, too.
Agreed
Notice how he played the black to the far jaw... no repeat of the 85 final, eh? lol
Yep that was even a harder black that he made just .
Yes Steve . Enjoyed this so much when I watched it back then .
Scary how young they look and then you remember 2005 is nearly 20 years ago which is very very scary.
Massive fan of both these great Champions ❤
One of the best matches ever for me. Bcos you never knew who was gonna win till the final frame.

They really loved the master cueman
Never seen that before. Brilliant.
Why does the coverage start at 4-0?
Legend
Go on Davis!! Love that man
Rip Willie
Doesn’t matter who you support this was snooker at its finest.
What a clearance :-)
Lmao nobody wanted to hendry to win
Yeah cos he beat them and saw off all the 80s players
If it was the 80s people would want hendry to win Davis was 48 here he was out of his prime for 15 years now

What's the big deal about not putting balls down the cushion into the corner pockets everyone avoids them like the plague ''WHY
Snooker tables have ultra-tight pockets and rounded jaws that will reject basically everything except those within a tiny margin of error.
Because you can hit the cushion early and miss.

Unless your Joe Davis. His record will never be beaten!
Worst referee ever.
