DENNIS TAYLOR

Snooker star and after dinner speaker Dennis Taylor is an extremely humorous character and his after dinner speaking and his trick shot displays are in constant demand. 

He remained at the top for 22 years and his glittering career saw him win the World Title in 1985 in an unforgettable match with Steve Davis.

He took the title 18-17 on the final black at 10 minutes past midnight watched by 18 million viewers.

 He has won titles as far afield as Asia through Europe to Canada.

Dennis's great love away from snooker is golf, and every spare minute is spent on the golf course. Music and motor racing are his other great loves and indeed in the past year or two he has taken part in one or two celebrity racing events.

In his home country of Ireland, he is a sporting legend and his fellow professionals hold him in high esteem.
