Steve Davis (snooker) has retired, according to the BBC his nickname was "Nugget", I always thought it was "Interesting".
He was always called "Interesting" in every show I ever saw but a quick referral to Wiki has him with 6 nick-names.
The other 4 being :
Ginger Mushroom, Romford Slim, Master Cueman, Ginger Magician.
He wasn't the worse but it seems snooker does produce loads of players with no personality and no charisma.
Ronnie O'Sullivan has a personality but unfortunately it's not a very nice one.
Ronnie O'Sullivan's attention seeking drama's certainly are a bit tiresome.
I've never understood why Steve Davis gets so much stick about his alleged personality or the lack of?

To be honest, I had no idea he was still playing. As you can probably tell, I don't take a great deal of interest in snooker!
Ronnie has documented mental health issues.
Understanding mental health issues may give people a better perception of a person's personality.
He's basically an attention seeking drama queen.
He's in trouble again with the snooker authorities for refusing to speak to the media, quite honestly I think the game would be better off without him.
I doubt that!
Why do you doubt that?
Nobody is bigger than the game itself and snooker will go on with or without Ronnie O'Sullivan
I used to think that Judd Trump had a cool, unusual and interesting name. And I still do, Donald's not spoiling that for me!
I mean, try saying it. Judd Trump.
Judd. Trump.
It's awesome, right?
Totally off topic but what about Hank Wangford? Now there's a name to conjure with.
Further off topic, that still doesn't come close to the Crewe Alexandra legend and Spoonerism waiting to happen, Kenny Lunt (!)
there was a deciding frame and i followed it on Ceefax. I believe Davis lost that frame and so the match.
Jimmy White, John Virgo, two other nameable legends the sport misses today....
Didnt they end up having to re-spot the black after the deciding frame ended in a draw?Steve Davis and Dennis Taylor were both winners in an era where most of the to players were half cut by the time they got to the finals! Rare you saw the likes of the hurricane without a pint in one hand, fag in gob and cue in the other, but what a character he was!

Legendary match even to this day. He was playing against Dennis Taylor and it was right down to the black iirc....
Cliff Thorburn, John Spencer, Eddie Charlton, the fat Canadian (can't remember his name) and of course Count Dracula - Ray Reardon.

About 1980 I think it was.
If you're thinking of the "black ball final" I'm pretty sure it was the 1985 Embassy World.
