Signed Steve Davis, Ronnie O'Sullivan & Jimmy White Snooker Photo Display Framed Frame size: 770 x 420 mm (landscape) Double Mounted: Cream & Black Frame: Black with Silver Trim
A superbly presented signed display features a Steve Davis signed photo with photos and signature cards from Ronnie O'Sullivan and Jimmy White expertly mounted and framed with a Certificate of Authenticity. Steve Davis Davis' most successful spell came during the 1980s, when he was snooker's world number one for seven years and reached eight world finals, culminating in him becoming the sport's first millionaire. Such was Davis' dominance in the 1980s, a popular saying suggested that he was on television more often than the Prime Minister of the time. Although he hasn't won a major title since 1997, Davis continues to play snooker at a high level, retaining his place in the elite world top-16 players almost every year. For 2007/2008, he will be ranked no. 15. In the world of pool, he instituted the annual Europe vs. US Mosconi Cup team nine-ball competition. Davis has also developed a television career as a studio analyst during the BBC's extensive snooker coverage. Ronnie O'Sullivan O'Sullivan started his career at an early age. He first achieved a century break at the age of 10, scored a 147 at 15, and turned professional at 16. He won his first 38 matches as a professional – a record that still stands – on his way to the 1993 World Championship, where he was the youngest-ever player to qualify. He lost in the first round 10-7 to Alan McManus and ended his debut season ranked 57. He was the youngest ever winner of a ranking tournament when he won the 1993 UK Championship aged 17, beating Stephen Hendry in the final, and starting one of the most prominent rivalries in the sport. In 1995, he won his first Masters title. O'Sullivan is right-handed, but can play to a high standard with his left hand. When he first displayed this ability in the 1996 World Championship against Alain Robidoux, the Canadian accused him of disrespect. O'Sullivan responded that he played better with his left hand than Robidoux could with his right. O'Sullivan was summoned to a disciplinary hearing in response to Robidoux's formal complaint, where he had to prove that he could play to a high level with his left hand. He played three frames of snooker against former world championship runner-up Rex Williams, winning all three. The charge of bringing the game into disrepute was subsequently dropped. Later in the tournament snooker governing body found him guilty of assaulting a member of the press and handed him a two-year suspended sentence and a £20,000 fine, and he was advised to donate £10,000 to charity. On 21st April 1997, in the first round of the World Championship against Mick Price, he made the fastest-recorded maximum break, 5 minutes and 20 seconds, an average of one shot every 9 seconds. His seven maximum breaks include the five fastest on record. In November, he won his second UK title, beating Hendry 10-6. Jimmy White With a host of major titles and achievements, including ten ranking tournaments, White has been described by the BBC as a "legend". A left-hander, he has reached the World Professional Championship Final on six occcasions but has yet to win this most prestigious title. Yet his overall record is on a par with many of the most successful players the sport has seen. Only the World Championship, which he first entered in 1981, has eluded him although he has been runner-up on six occasions (1984, 1990-1994). Nonetheless, his consistency and dominating style of play have been on the wane for some years and with his first-round defeat in the 2006 World Championship White dropped out of the world's top 32 player rankings. White said in 2006 that he would go off and play golf in Spain if he thought he had no chance of regaining his former glory. "I guarantee you I will be in the top 16 for next year. I am far too good", he commented. White's slide down the rankings has seen him drop to 60th (as of May 2007). However, he remains in the top 64 and has guaranteed his place on the 2007-2008 professional tour. He lost his first qualifying match for the 2007 World Championship to Jamie Burnett in March 2007 and as a result will not be appearing in the televised stages for only the second time since 1981.
