A Load of Balls and a Snooker Cue Come and join snooker legends Steve Davis OBE and Dennis Taylor for an entertaining evening of sporting anecdotes and a look back at their incredible careers. Steve has won more professional titles in snooker than any other player - including six World and four UK Championships during the 1980s and is still ranked one of the top 15 players in the world. Dennis is best known for his infectious sense of humour and his trademark over-sized glasses. His most memorable sporting achievement was winning the 1985 World Championship, beating the then seemingly invincible Steve Davis on the final black in what is considered to have been one of the sport's greatest finals.
