Davis's match against Dennis Taylor in the 1985 World Championship final can be regarded as the most classic game in snooker history and is still talked about. The two sides fought until midnight and it was not until the last goal of the last game that Taylor finally won the championship 18-17. At that time, about 18.5 million viewers watched the exciting game through BBC TV broadcast; at the 1989 World Championships, Davis defeated John Parrott (John Parrott) to win the championship with an overwhelming advantage of 18-3. This is also the most overwhelming final in the history of the World Championships in the past decade;

Davis has good psychological qualities, can still play calmly under tremendous pressure and rarely make mistakes. Therefore, it has won the reputation of "The Nugget". But at the same time, he spoke in a simple manner and his style of single tone during the interview gained an annoying reputation. As a result, a British TV series known for its satiricality, Spitting Image jokingly gave Davis the nickname Steve 'Interesting' Davis. Davis himself has also played the role of a veteran commentator of the BBC snooker program and a guest of a TV betting program in the show with a cold and humorous image for a long time;
Steve Davis can undoubtedly be regarded as the most outstanding snooker billiards master in the contemporary era. At his heyday, he won almost all the major snooker rankings championships;

2005 British Championship, Davis met with Ding Junhui , who is 28 years younger than him, and became the final with the largest age gap.
2010 World Championships over 50 years old Davis defeated the defending champion Higgins to enter the quarterfinals, becoming the only player in the World Championships who was over 50 years old in the past twenty years after Charlton.
Davis is still active in the billiards world, but he has gone from the front to the backstage. Davis' commentary on the BBC is often heard in the snooker event held in the UK. I wish this "evergreen" can always enjoy the fun brought to him by snooker and become younger and younger as you live~
