You can see Davis has a certain swagger, a young man in the prime of his game. That long red he purposefully left himself. A golden generation of snooker.

One of the most difficult endings of a 147 break, the last three balls took a lot of nerves.

This was a great 147, a double, a few break outs, a beautiful shot off the rest, and a nail biter or two, Steve was really the model of a Professional, the absolute best of his era.

still a brilliant clearance. last pink was class!

He won a Lada for getting a 147 break.

For losing in the first round you got two Ladas.

The red that he doubled, and the last pink sealed his name to be written in the history books. A magnificent break made by the legend.

That pink at the end was just amazing!

Steve Davis was as fine a Pro as they get, he did it all, 147, World, UK, Masters, etc, etc. O Sullivan modeled his whole persona and game off of Steve, see his bio.

I like how genuinely excited for Steve the commentator David Taylor (also a player) is.

Steve was always my favourite player. I don't think I watched this break. But it's great watching him. He was almost a machine in the eighties.

what a man....what a gentleman steve is

Amazed that no one has mentioned the black to last red positional shot. When you are just so supremely confident that you purposefully leave yourself a long pot for your 15th red. Cliff Thorburn did the same on his 15th black to yellow position. Wonderful.

@deanlillley 4 years ago

Steve Davis was unstoppable in his prime. That red & then the pink 👌

Steve's reaction immediately after potting the black always puts a big grin on my face. He can't quite believe it himself! Fabulous break

Sooooo coool
3 things that are cool about this break in ascending order
3) The ancient long stuff
2) The double on 33
1) His posture leaning against the table after the sparkles have flown
