EDITORS COMMENTS
May 1985, a moment etched in the annals of snooker history. Dennis Taylor and his wife Patricia take center stage, leading the iconic Hokey-Cokey dance at his triumphant celebration after winning the World Snooker Championship. The photograph captures the joy and elation on their faces as they revel in Taylor's historic victory.
The grainy texture of the print adds to its nostalgic charm, transporting us back to a bygone era when snooker was king. The simplicity of the setting - a dimly lit room with friends and family gathered around - only serves to heighten the sense of intimacy and camaraderie.
Taylor's win marked one of the most thrilling moments in snooker history, with his epic final frame against Steve Davis going down to a deciding frame. This photograph is more than just a snapshot; it's a testament to Taylor's perseverance and dedication to his craft.
As we gaze upon this historic image, we're reminded of simpler times when sportsmen were revered for their achievements on and off the table. It's a poignant reminder that even in victory, there's always time for laughter, love, and celebration with those closest to us.
