Born in 1901 in the Derbyshire village of Whitwell, Joe Davis is perhaps the man most responsible for making snooker the mass market sport it is today. Originally a billiards player, Joe won his first tournament at the age of 13 and at 25 reached his first professional billiards final. In 1928 he became world billiards champion. It was Joe who approached the Billiards Association in 1926 to organise a World Professional Snooker Championship. Joe won the event in its first year in 1927 and went on to hold the title until 1946, at which stage he ceased to play in the Championships. Even
after his retirement Joe continued to dominate snooker, both on
and off the table. He became
chairman of the Professional Players
Association and for many years was still widely recognised as the
best snooker player in the world. As the primary figure
in snooker at that time it was with him that the BBC negotiated. It was during the 1978 World Snooker Championships that Joe became unwell. At the time he was taken ill he was watching his brother Fred play Perrie Manns in the semi-finals. Manns had led 8-6, 13-8 and 16-12 going into the final session, which meant that Davis had to win six of the remaining seven frames. Joe
was living and playing every shot on behalf of his brother, until
complaining
of feeling unwell during the interval of the final session.
Joe
was taken back to his hotel and then driven to London the following
day. He was still poorly
on arrival and was taken to St
Mary’s in Paddington. A
lengthy operation saw him through the worst of the crisis, but he
would never recover and died a few weeks
later. Joe was a gentleman in every sense of the word. He conducted himself with dignity at all times and was a great ambassador for the sport. He will be fondly remembered by all in snooker for helping to make the game what it is today, both through his skill and expertiseon the table and the strength of his personality in driving the game forward.
