Hazel Irvine looks back at the 1986 final between Steve Davis and Joe Johnson. This final had a lot to live up to, 12 months after the black-ball decider served up by Davis and Dennis Taylor. Davis was expected to crush the 150-1 outsider from Bradford but the 33-year-old defied the odds, prevailing 18-12 and proving that the underdog does have its day. It was one of the major shocks in Crucible history.
