Davis, Steve, 1957-

Interesting : my autobiography / Steve Davis with Lance Hardy. - London : Ebury Press, 2016. - 352 pages ; 20 cm.

Originally published: 2015.

Steve Davis was just a Romford rookie, learning how to play snooker from a book his father had given him, when an encounter with Barry Hearn changed his life forever. With Hearn's backing, Steve toured the country as an amateur, challenging and beating established professionals and winning titles. It wasn't long before he progressed to the world's stage, when the sport dominated the nation with a cast of legends such as Alex 'Hurricane' Higgins and Ray Reardon regularly doing battle. This is a memoir that closely evokes the smoke-filled atmosphere of those arenas, the intrigue behind the scenes and the personal psychology and sacrifice that is required to stay at the top of such an exacting sport.
