- Dennis Taylor's remarkable 18-17 victory over Steve Davis on the final black of the 1985 Embassy World Snooker Championship has justifiably become regarded as one of the great moments in British sport. A record viewing audience of 18.5m were tuned to BBC Two, the largest after midnight figure ever recorded and BBC Two's best ever ratings. It was also, at the time, the largest British audience for a sporting event. Taylor's exuberant celebrations - complete with finger wagging, foot stamping and cue waving - provided the perfect release to the tension that had built as the match progressed towards its thrilling climax
- After retiring from snooker, became a BBC snooker commentator.
- Regularly made appearances on the snooker-based game show Big Break.
- Became a professional snooker player in 1972.
- In 2005 was one of the celebrities taking part in the third series of the successful BBC show Strictly Come Dancing, reaching eighth place with his partner Izabela Hannah.
- [on his infamous glasses] I'm short-sighted in one eye and slightly long-sighted in the other - quite an awkward prescription. When I started playing with these upside-down glasses, I think Eddie Charlton... he said, I looked like the cross between Elton John and the front end of a Ford Cortina. And these are proper glass, they're quite heavy really and the glare was coming in. Now I hope I don't... [glass lens falls out of glasses]. [Laughs].
- Just got a lot of pleasure out of making people laugh and entertaining them on the snooker table.
