Bloody good guy Dennis. I like Him a lot. Absolute credit to the sport and a real asset to the commentary team.
hi Dennis
Davis must still be haunted by that miss
Your words are perfect,great
Commentary
"one of the nicest lads you are ever likely to meet"
And John Virgo
You just have to love Dennis Taylor, truly a genuine, all round nice guy. You can sense that Ronnie feels the same, and it’s so good to see the two of them chatting about that deciding frame.
You must know him really well as I'd heard through the years he wasnt always a good guy people thought
dennis taylor has the best voice in all of humanity lol
Dylan Knight Martin Tyler does mate
I’d love to hear Morgan Freeman commentate on snooker
John Virgo another great
Morgan freeman, David Attenborough, John malkovich, Liam Neeson, clint eastwood any of those would be good to listen to
@@markjeffers4663 Christopher Lee beats all of them.
Ronnie now a 6 times world champion😁😁 Always lovely when you see an interviewer and an interviewee who genuinely like each other like these 2 clearly do😁😁😁😁
I agree. It's also good to see two snooker legends talking about snooker.
7 now!!

24 now in 2047.
When you smile all the way through a video you know you're in good company. Legends🙌
Shut your mouth.
Brilliant. I was 18 years old watching it with my Dad until 2.30am. Such a memory.
Bloody hell 2:30 thats mental!
@@newdawnfades5725 It normally finishes about 11pm
@@inyourgenes that's because it's now over 2 days finishing on bank holiday Monday.
@@140pro This match was also over 2 days, Saturday and Sunday
@@hamstergraphics Yes it was....I don't even know why I wrote that🍷🍷😂😂
Dennis taylor such a lovely soul, and equally beautiful voice of his that sounds so damn friendly and relaxing ☺️
Unquestionably the best snooker final I have ever watched.
One of the best sporting finals of all time.
I love seeing the respect Ronnie has for these older players...and then the absolute adulation that they have for him. Ronnie is the best ever and if you're not ignorant about his mental health then you acknowledge what an achievement it is to win what he has won with the problems he has had...of sound mind he could have won a virtually unmatchable amount of rankign titles....but would he be the same Ronnie we know and love?
@d b Ronnie is bar far the best player ever to pick up a cue, done deal!
Agreed!
Well said
The greatest snooker final of them all. Glued to it from start to finish.
Ronnie looks really happy here. Hope he can play his best stuff again this year. C’mon Rocket! And Taylor is a legend. Great viewing!
Final now so not to bad
He's playing just ok
Up 17-8 in world final right now so I’d say he’s on form. 1 more frame Ronnie!
@@YogSoth anything can happen, I think Wilson has it in the bag honestly.
@@dragospahontu if he won 10 frames on the spin for an 18 - 17 win that would be the greatest comeback of all time but even playing absolute trash last night Ronnie still won 3 of the 9 frames played there is no way he isn't gunna get the one more he needs tonight
Very tough match player in his day was Dennis Taylor. Good break builder and would never give up. Was annihilated in the 1974 world championship last 8 to Ray Reardon 15-2, but never lost faith and ended up winning many titles. Solid world class player.
Great chat lads. Ronnie if you retire from snooker you would be good at presenting and interviewing. I remember watching the 1985 match with my Mum and Dad. Back then when there was 3 channels. More people watched the snooker not just because it was so entertaining and skillful, but people watched it because the other 2 channels were not as good! How I miss the 80s with its simplicity. Them days will never be back unfortunately. Great to watch the classics on TH-cam though. ❤
Growing up I was always most impressed by his commentary, I could not understand how he could know what was going to happen, each shot over and over. Best commentator ever..
Really enjoyed this clip.
I watched the final between Dennis and Steve when I was 12 years old with my Dad and my younger brother in Belfast, we stayed up really late even though we had school Monday morning and what a night that was watching Dennis shake his cue after potting the black! One of the great nights of sport! 👍😁
Colin Canyon@ I was 12 too, back in Liverpool. I was a big Davis fan. Watched it with my dad. Was gutted haha. Great memories though.
Loved his glasses back in the day. Diedre Barlow glasses.
What a great interview by Ronnie,love listening to Dennis talking about his incredible black ball final victory,always brings back great memories being allowed to stay up with my brothers to watch it all as a family and all of us jumping up and cheering when Dennis potted the black
Loving the genuine interest, respect and love from Ronnie (a snooker superstar) during that interview.
I remember that moment, well done Dennis.
I love Dennis, he’s such a gentleman and a really good ambassador for the sport. A great player and I thoroughly enjoy his commentary as well
You can tell how much respect they both have for each other and how Ronnie really looks upto Dennis almost like a fatherly figure
Really nice to see
85 final was and will always be the best sporting moment ever
I never knew that Dennis Taylor had won the crucible once before. He never mentioned it
No he never has mentioned it because no one says “won the crucible”
@@johnp515 - it was plain sarcasm ye…. He don’t shut the f….k up about it. And if there is even a chance to open an envelope in public In front of camera Dennis is there no questions asked. He’s like a dog with 2 bones
Two true sportsmen & top of their league
Dennis Taylor gave us snooker fans one helluva game that year. Will always remember it. And thanks to steve Davis too.
Best snooker commentator ever.
Ted Lowe. And it isn't even close.
Romamb Ted Lowe never said anything remotely incisive about the game of snooker. He had the famous whispering voice which was a nice gimmick even though he was not commentating near the table anymore thus had no reason to whisper but it became part of the image of Snooker when it took off in the 80’s and 90’s so fair enough but even compared to Clive Everton he was lightweight let alone compared to ex-professionals like Taylor and Stephen Hendry who always call correctly which shots options players have and such-like which Lowe rarely did. Nevertheless, it’s true that no one could say “This is unbelievable!” “Or “The final frame, the final black” the way Ted did in 1985.
This is excellent viewing, a great piece of British sport, an unforgettable ending to the final.
What a genuine guy Denis is. Brilliant.
Saw Dennis at Pontins in the early 1980s, he was like a stand up comedian and did a fantastic exhibition. Great memories !
They decide to upload this on TH-cam after 5 years
Storm Woods why couldn’t it have been earlier ?!
Aditya Vadali
I've seen this before a long time ago.
@The Guvnor has been? He's just won the world Championship! This comment hasn't aged well hahaha
I watched this live.😊
Two legends
You have to love the respect and admiration that Ronnie has for such a great player like Dennis. Two completely different eras of snooker, played on tables and cloth that would be considered garbage by todays standards, but we all understand that people like Dennis, Davis, Higgins and the rest helped pave the way for great champions like Ronnie, Trump, Selby and the new crop of amazing players.
I wish snooker had a bigger screen presence here in the states, but there’s no way in hell they’d televise a 68 min single frame like they do in the UK.
Wonderful memories - in hindsight. At the time I was gutted as I was a fan of The Nugget and was desperate for him to win. What a brilliant snooker match. Anyway, I couldn’t deny Dennis Taylor deserved it and it couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy. So roll on 1986... Davis’ revenge... DOH!
The whole final was just a total fix..
@@andrewwhite7535 Explain
Andrew White If they could fix cue and object balls to those positions, more power to them 😂
oh my! this was amazing! remember it so well!..Ronnie's face at the end..priceless!
What a brilliant interview. I was 5 years old watching this final and i still remember it like it was yesterday.
Beautiful snooker
Love his commentary
DT is one of best commentators “and it’s there”
Love this very enjoyable video! 😍😍😍👏👏👏
Dennis is such good vibes
Watched that final had to go with my brother in law we had to go and get more beer in, magical night, was not a Steve Davis fan at the time, but grew to love the guy after that night, the nugget was imperious then. Dennis was brilliant that tournament a deserved it, dogged and had some bottle in that last frame. Greatest final ever
Dennis played some snooker that year
Not many people brought Davis the distance like that!!
And a gent and a half
Best commentator to hear when watching a snooker game too😂🤝
Great memory shared, Awesome! I really enjoyed hearing this story from Mr Taylor.
Watched this again....brilliant!!
You can tell Ronnie loves and respects Dennis.
Ronnie is a very good presenter.
I ve always admired Dennis Taylor He showed true grit to win on the black ball in the final Great drama all round
Great moment in our beloved sport!
I enjoyed the vid, indeed !
Many thanks for posting.
I love Dennis voice👍 so comfortable to heard him talk
2 great players listening each other, so cool so nice
Wonderful interview. Watched it live at the time. As good in replay as it was back then.
Brilliant Show! Love it, subscribed, hopp over to the Davis interview now. What a find! Thanks for uploading?
I love Dennis's personality such a great commentary!!
He’s a remarkable man. I don’t know about you guys but for some reason snooker is one game where I find all players really nice and humble.
This is how you treat a legend
Now that was a very good video clip... Dennis Taylor was as charming and entertaining as ever...and Ronnie was being mighty respectful and professional. Good work.
Brilliant!!!
Dennis Taylor.. Master class!!
certified legend
What an absolute legend!
Dennis Taylor is one of my favourite people in snooker
I was a second year student from Sri Lanka. At 25 years in West Bromwich. Carters Green, watching that match on TV. Awesome memories!!! Roshan Gooneratne
Love Dennis
Snooker's the only spectator sport that absolutely captivates me. I remember so many incredible frames watching the old greats as a kid. Never really understood things like football or tennis, but snooker? So fascinating. Largely because of the players. They weren't horrible to each other, mostly. It's a game where your enemy is yourself, not the other person.
Great! I really enjoyed that.
What a lovely man
Enjoyed this, Ronnie is actually a pretty decent interviewer .
I remember at the Rothmans sponsored Grand prix event (I think) just before the Worlds, how Dennis won that title and dedicated it with such loving emotion to his beloved ma, and feeling quite emotional myself too, mothers can never be replaced never, especially the good ones, of which there are many.
Had a photo taken with him and Cliff at Portsmouth a few years ago at the masters, very approachable, a credit to the sport.
Both are legends
Dennis was really happy that day
not surprised...he came back from 0-8 down against davis in his pomp.
Two legends 👏👏👍👍
Two great personalities
Brilliant interview.Ronnie has his controversial comments but this is him in awe of that great final and Dennis and to be fair Davis tell a great story about a truly wonderful last frame.
Brilliant! Snooker at its very best
Steve Davis was such a great player ,85 and 86 champions played against him in the final and 35 years later they are still talking about it !
Two great people
Tell me about the cue action of Dennis after potting the black
what a ending of great interview
Best commentator Dennis very rarely gets it wrong, and this interview with Ronnie is just damn awesome
I d like to say that I could not sit still watching it I prayed to God asking him please let Dennis Taylor win tonight even if he never wins another match in his life
Two greats of Snooker.
Class video
I remember that moment well 👍
Cant miss it! Gotta love Ronnie
Gotta ?
i backed Taylor that year 33/1 had 50 BLOODY PENCE EW on him..... he had played really well in the previous 12 months and i was kicking myself for having so little on him.
2 legends.
Ronnie, best ever and Dennis wins best final ever. These guys are legends 💚💪👌
Awww. Ronnie's such a sweetie.
Legends
Thanks Ronnie for merging 1985 with 2015! But why that late on youtube? You played awesome placing shots in 888 against Ali Carter, enjoyed a lot. Wish to see many years more playing amazingly 💐💐
This is great
2 of the Greats.
We need more of these ronnie nice to see you smile and relaxed m8. 👍🤣🤣😁😁😁
Denis Taylor must be a very humble man. You deserve the title
Met Denis at a dinner with Hendry, top bloke.
Played football against his son in a town final (we lived in the same town) and he was there, the year after I think. We won 3-0 and I was left mid and his son was right back. Sure took a shine off old Dennis’s face 😂. Love the guy. His misses at the time drove a white BMw Softop reg 147 cue or something (not that but something that stood out). Happy days.
👍 I recall watching it live)) I was 9
Remember it like it was yesterday Dennis , bloody hell 30 years ago
Dennis is a Gentleman
DENNIS AND CLIVE GIVING SNOOKER THE VOICE
