Steve Davis, OBE, is an English professional snooker player. He has won more professional titles in the sport than any other player, including six world championships during the 1980s.

Davis' most successful spell came during the 1980s, when he was the snooker world number one for seven years and reached eight world finals; along the way, he recorded the first televised 147 break and became 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.
