People go on about his 1985 win so much there's surprisingly few people who realise he was a finalist in 1979.

Also, interestingly, 1979 was also John Virgo's big year for the WSC, coming 3rd. [they had 3rd place play offs back then]

They really didn't.

All that really happened was that he's not doing Seniors any more. Big whoop.

Sorry to be pernickety but he came 4th ;)

Also, Steve Davis made his debut in 79, losing to Dennis.

They kept that quiet.

You’re recycling me? What happened in that match?

Barring plenty of snookers it will be 3-2. Disappointing for Lilley losing 2 in a row. Jimmy playing well now so a lot of pressure on him now.

I remember in Steve's (first) autobiography, he said that the only shot of his from this match that the BBC showed was him playing the cue ball directly into a pocket (in missing a thin cut).

Haha, yes that's the only shot I've seen him play from it. It was included in that years Entertainer musical video compilation.
