Simon Barnes, chief sports correspondent of The Times, reflects on great sporting events that were propelled from the back pages of the newspapers to the front.
The last event in this series occurred one Sunday night in April 1985, when 18.5 million people stayed up for the nail-biting World Snooker final between Dennis Taylor and Steve Davis. Snooker was at the height of its popularity - and it was well past midnight before the match was decided on the final black ball, Taylor clinching the title from the seemingly unbeatable Davis. But as Taylor and Davis were slogging it out, the country's football grounds were facing an epidemic of hooliganism, teachers and printworkers were locking horns with their respective paymasters, and Ken Livingstone was preparing for life after the GLC. Simon Barnes, with Dennis Taylor and Ted Lowe, remembers that late night in 1985, and talks to those involved in the other news stories.
