Norman Whiteside: This Sporting Life: Dennis Taylor

Series 1, episode 3

Dennis recalls his youth in Coalisland and rise on the professional snooker circuit. While Dennis often reached tournament finals, he always seemed to falter - leading the press to class him as an eternal runner-up. In 1985, however, everything changed with Dennis going on to make the ultimate sporting comeback in a World Championship final watched by a record-breaking 18.5 million people people. He talks to Stephen Watson about his upbringing, the World Championship title win - and the origin of those famous upside-down glasses
