EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Dennis Hussey, we are transported back to the memorable evening of May 6th, 1986. The atmosphere is electric as the newly crowned snooker World Champion, Joe Johnson, revels in his victory at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield. Beside him stands the gracious runner-up, Steve Davis, both men displaying expressions of genuine camaraderie and sportsmanship. The photograph encapsulates a moment of celebration and joy shared between these two talented athletes. Laughter fills the air as they exchange jokes and enjoy each other's company during this well-deserved evening party. Glasses clink together as champagne flows freely, adding an extra sparkle to their triumphant spirits. However, amidst all the merriment lies a subtle reminder of darker times within professional sport - alcohol abuse. While it is important not to dwell on this aspect too heavily or sensationalize it further than necessary for historical context, it serves as a poignant reminder that even champions have their struggles. Dennis Hussey's expertly composed image captures not only a significant sporting event but also human emotions and connections that transcend competition itself. It invites us to reflect on moments when rivals can come together in unity and celebrate one another's achievements with genuine warmth and respect.
