Grand Prix 1984 (snooker)

Grand Prix 1984 (snooker)

The 1984 Rothmans Grand Prix was the first competiton with its current name and had replaced the unsuccessful Professional Players Tournament which started in 1982. It carried the then highest biggest first prize money in the history of snooker. Unlike the Professional Players Tournament, The BBC televised the championship and was held in the Hexagon Theatre in Reading which had previously hosted the State Express World Team Classic since 1981 which was also televised by the BBC.

Dennis Taylor won his first major tournament after 13 years as a professional beating Cliff Thorburn in the final winning 10-2. But Taylor had a more important personal reason for wanting to win - for the memory of his mother the month before. His sadness - and joy - was shared by television viewers all over the UK. He could not withhold his emotions, particularly when his son rushed forward to congratulate him.
