Steve Davis was just a rookie from Plumstead, south London,
learning how to play from an old book his snooker-obsessed father
had given him, when an encounter with Barry Hearn changed his life
forever. With his backing, Steve began touring the country in a
clapped-out car as an amateur. Challenging established
professionals and winning titles, supported by his loyal following
the Romford Roar, it wasn't long before he progressed to the
world's stage. By the eighties, Steve had helped transform a
previously shady sport into a national obsession. He and a cast of
legends such as Ray Reardon, Dennis Taylor and Alex Higgins, with
other young guns like Jimmy White, were doing silent battle in
front of huge audiences. Tens of millions of viewers would witness
the nail-biting conclusions of his world championship finals; this
was snooker's golden era. The man behind the 'boring' tag has
always been the sport's smartest and sharpest man. With his cool,
obsessive approach, Steve rewrote the rule book and became
untouchably the best player in the world and the best paid
sportsman in the country. Interesting lays it all bare: what it was
like to win in those pressure-cooker situations; how to cope at the
top, when everyone wants you to lose; and how you deal with the
moment when a man comes along who is finally better than you. 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.
