	1985 World Snooker Championship final - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was played on 24-29 April 1985 at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield in the United Kingdom between Northern Irishman Dennis Taylor, appearing in his second final and Steve Davis, the then defending World Champion.
		The event was in the eighth year of the BBC's coverage of the event, and snooker was reaching the zenith of its popularity.
		The climax of the final was watched by 18.5 million people, which was a record for BBC2, the channel showing the event, a record post-midnight audience for any channel in Britain and, at the time, the record audience for any sporting event in the country.

	UK Championship (snooker) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1981, the Davis-Terry Griffiths final set the stage for four more final battles between Davis and Griffiths that were to dominate the rest of the season before their unexpected losses in the first round of the 1982 World Championship.
		In 1985, Willie Thorne, then on the brink of emerging as a major force to be reckoned with in the game, led Davis 13-10 at the start of the evening session, only to miss a simple blue off its spot and lose 16-14.
		Finally, the 2005 tournament saw Davis reach his first ranking tournament final for almost 2 years at the age of 48 (and make his highest break in tournament play for 23 years) before losing 10-6 to 18-year-old Ding Junhui in the final that featured the widest age gap between finalists in professional tournament history.
