4. Knowles Dethrones Davis as Higgins Wins Second World Snooker Title
In the latest episode of the WPBSA Snooker Podcast we recall the story of the 1982 World Snooker Championship - among the best remembered editions of the tournament in its rich and storied history.
Host Michael McMullan is joined by former world number two Tony Knowles - who so memorably dethroned the defending champion Steve Davis 10-1 in the opening round - and John Skilbeck, author of Goody Two Shoes, a fantastic new book which chronicles the story of the event in unparalled detail.
The duo of course revisit that famous first round win for Knowles, one of a number of first round shocks which left the draw wide open, as well as that clearance by Alex Higgins against Jimmy White in the semi-finals and much more from the event.
We reflect on snooker's wider boom period of the 1980s and what it was like for Knowles as one of the key protagonists of the era, whilst he also looks ahead to future opportunities as he continues to battle it out on the baize in 2024.
