Steve Davis v Jimmy White, 1984

Hazel Irvine relives a Crucible Classic from 1984, the world final between Steve Davis and Jimmy White. Davis was the only player to have won the title twice in Sheffield and was attempting to become the first player to successfully defend it. Standing in his way was Jimmy White, the 22-year- old left-hander from London who was hoping to add the world crown to the Masters title he'd won four months earlier. There was disappointment, however, for White in his first Crucible final while Davis would go on to win another three titles in a decade he dominated.
