    Watched this with my Dad. I was 15. Both of us had early starts in the morning but there was no way we weren't watching this until the very end. My Dad died in 2022 at the ripe old age of 95 and this was one of my best memories with him.

    This has to be one of the greatest sporting moments in history. Snooker was huge in the 80s and this was the peak moment. I was only a child but i stayed up to watch until the end. The match was such a battle and you can see how much it meant to each player. Pure drama.

    I always wanted Jimmy White to win. Always. This particular year my brother was rooting for Steve Davis. My dad was rooting for Dennis Taylor. At around 9pm on the day of the final session on Sunday 28th April 1985 my dad had his 2nd heart attack and died. He never saw Dennis win.
    Years later I met Dennis in North Wales. I couldn’t bring myself to tell him this story.
    I wish my dad could have seen the end of this match. I miss you every day, dad

My mum wasn't very keen on me staying up into the small hours, as I had school the next day/ revision for exams, but my Dad wasn't that bothered, so we both watched it. Around 18 5 million people watched it, which remains to this day, the highest ever audience for BBC2!!

    I always watched snooker but as a young 9 year old this was past my bedtime so I didn't get to see it all. However, I do remember my dad rushing into my room, way past midnight and waking me up to come and see the last moments of this frame. He never got swept up in anything but he was so excited about this final and the way it ended. He'd lived in Sheffield years earlier, so the crucible was special for us. We're Irish, so Dennis winning was a big deal. He's gone now .. but I always watch the crucible every year. It reminds me of that night. It reminds me of those days. I hope the BBC don't axe Dennis and JV like they are planning to do. We need the legends and they deserve to remain in our hearts.

    Arguably the greatest world snooker final ever. Such tension, such drama. Those who were there will never forget it I’m sure. It was compelling enough for those of us who watched it live on TV.
    Sometimes there are events that transcend the confines of their own particular sphere of interest or audiences. This was one of those occasions. 17 frames all and down to the last black. A scriptwriter would never dare opine such a scenario. Brilliant stuff that will live long in the memory not of those who witnessed it but in snooker folk-lore as long as the game remains popular.

    Not that Steve knew or gave a damn at the time but i feel him losing this iconic match made him seem less robotic like and more human. I've rarely ever seen so much hurt in a person than when Vine interviewed Steve post match. It is still hard to watch. I was always a Steve fan and even more so after this.

    I'm so very proud of the way Dennis battled throughout this final. This ending is the greatest ever world championship win in snooker. Total admiration for Dennis. I've watched this whole final over again many times from start to finish. Dennis did play Steve again in the Rothman,s Grand Prix final which was a BBC Grand slam also in October 1985,, 6 months later. Losing 10_9 on that occasion to Steve. Steve won the very 1st frame of that final on a black ball finish, Funny enough. Steve led 7_2, Before Dennis stormed to lead 8_7 ahead. But lost by a shave in that Grand Prix final 10_9.

    Personally, I watched the match live, and have always believed, Steve Davis, half heartedly went for the shot, I think deep down, he didn’t want to take Dennis’s last chance to win the title away from him, they were good rivals, Steve was just starting out, in his mind.

    หลังจากที่เล่นสงครามประสาท ดึงเกมกันอยู่หลายชั่วโมง
    คนดูบางคนกำลังหลับอยู่ ก็ต้องสะดุ้งตื่นขึ้นมาตอนจบนี่เอง
    นอกจากคำว่าเคยเป็นแชมป์โลกแล้ว นักสนุกเกอร์เหล่านี้ ก็ไม่มีอะไรที่น่าประทับใจให้จดจำ
    แต่นักสนุกเกอร์ที่ไม่เคยเป็นแชมป์โลกเลย อย่าง Jimmy White กลับมีหลายสิ่งหลายอย่าง ที่น่าประทับใจ ให้โลกสนุกเกอร์ได้จดจำ อย่างมากมาย ด้วยสไตล์การแทงมือซ้าย ที่รวดเร็ว เร่าร้อน แม่นยำที่สุดในโลก
    ถ้าสนุกเกอร์โลกมีกติกาห้ามยืนคิดนานเกิน 1 นาที ห้ามถ่วงเวลาดึงเกมช้า ผมเชื่อว่า Jimmy White จะได้เป็นแชมป์โลกไม่ต่ำกว่า 8 สมัย
