That was a genuinely life -affirming way to spend 16 or so minutes. I remember watching it live and feeling uplifted then too.

I like Joe's humility, it's quite refreshing.

The mental fortitude to have held it together for 17 days as a 150-1 underdog is massive. Probably never to be seen again I’d imagine. And by all accounts a very nice, cool guy.

Wow !!! Joe Johnson. what a fantastic person in a enchanted era. Im 61 now and for me the 80s was the best era. Being an avid snooker player and a fan I used to watch the snooker religiously all the time. Joe defied all odds and came to really relax and enjoy himself and he produced the most amazing snooker ever. Thanks Joe for the beautiful memories !!!!

I met joe at cue gardens in Bradford, he is a really nice bloke. Good on him for winning it.

Hat's off to Steve Davis as well, after losing in 85 to Taylor, to lose again
in 86, to a 150 to 1 "outsider," and to give Joe the hug (and credit) he deserved,
Davis, does look genuinely happy for him, although he must have thought,
this was HIS best opportunity to retake the title,
he took the loss, like the true gentleman, that he is.
