Steve Davis

Steve Davis is one of the most decorated figures in the history of British sport, having dominated his discipline throughout the 1980s. A six-time World Snooker Champion, his unparalleled success at the table earned him seventy-one major titles and the prestigious BBC Sports Personality of the Year award. He famously recorded the very first televised 147 maximum break and demonstrated remarkable longevity by securing a surprise Masters victory in 1997, long after many had considered his peak years to have passed. Beyond the snooker table, he has established himself as a versatile and engaging media presence. His career encompasses work as a sports pundit, radio presenter, and published author, alongside appearances on popular quiz programmes. A man of diverse talents, he has also competed in televised poker tournaments and maintains a keen interest in both pool and chess. This breadth of experience allows him to bring a unique perspective to every engagement. As a speaker, he is renowned for a trademark dry wit and a self-deprecating style that resonates with a wide range of audiences. He expertly navigates the highlights of his elite sporting journey, offering a captivating professional narrative that combines world-class achievement with genuine entertainment value.
