      When we look back at old snooker frames/matches we are looking with our 2024 eyes - This at the time was an amazing acheivement - the quality of snooker since has just rocketed in line with the prize money !!!!!
      When you saw Ronnie ask about the prize for a 147 when his break was on 8 before clearing with the maximum is COMPLETELY astonishing :)
      This was a very exciting time for snooker - Steve was an amazing breakbuilder and great all round player - what a treat this first 147 actually was, you can see it in his eyes at the end - only shame is that it was on iTV

    This 147 was included on the PC game Virtual Snooker back in 1996. Steve Davies also did some instructional videos that actually did really help teach you the game. I remember recently upgrading from an Amiga and absolutely loving the mind-blowing ability of CD-ROM!

    When you look at some of the pots he took on in this break you'd never think he was trying to make the first ever one on TV especially the long red he porpusly left himself at the end goes to show under pressure when he was confident he backed himself every time.What a player Davis was in his prime,to know how good he was just listen to Ronnie o Sullivan who rates Steve in the top 4/5 to ever do it and Ronnie should know because he played Davis in a master's final in the 90s which Steve came back from 8-4 down to win 6 in a row playing possible his best snooker of 90 to win the masters final 10-8 and then in 04/05 they played each other in the Welsh open final and led Ronnie 8-5 only for Ronnie to play live Davis did against him in the masters final basically no miss snooker and Ronnie won 9-8 in another amazing final and then in 06/07 not sure exactly what year but he reached the Uk final 17 years out of his prime and lost to an in form ding 10-6.Also i was pleasantly surprised when I looked at his head to head vs Hendry by the amount of times he beat hendry in the 90s despite not having the confidence and belief he has in himself in the 80s and he walloped Hendry quite a few times mostly in the 80s but also 4/5 times in the 90s also and in his final year at the crusible he defeated John Higgins in the second round 13-11 and i watched a fair bit of that match and Davis played some great snooker during that match.All in all Davis deserves his place amongst the best ever and he will stay there for however long snooker is played.Iconic snooker player with a great personality.Theres only one steve davis.

    Despite being only 7 at the time, I liked watching the snooker on ABC in Australia with my Father, I'll always remember my father explaining to me how despite doing the break John has not been back to the table since and Steve had not missed, Though the 147 aspect at the time, I probably hadn't quite grasped the significance of that!

    3rd . the tips and chalks.
    4th. the pressure of being the first person to do it live on tv.

All others, without exception, contained an element of luck but that does generate more excitement.

Top Class 80s dominated by Davis, 90s Dominated by Hendry, 2000s very difficult decade, so many top class players all going the Hendry way. 2010 not as gd as 2000s and no hmmm a bit boring especially break off.
