Steve Davis, OBE, (born August 22, 1957, Plumstead, London) is an English professional snooker (and to a lesser extent pool) player. Davis has won more professional snooker titles (including six world and six UK Championships) than any other player.
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. He has also had some success playing poker.
