They've all beaten the defending champion at the Crucible?

Higgins beat Spencer in the final in '72, Knowles beat Davis in '82, Taylor beat Davis in '85 and Davis beat Johnson in '87.

Is it something that only these four players (and no one else) have in common?

Why didn't you mention his name at the start then? I was about to ask if it's possible others can add their name to the list or if it's a 1980s question. Is there anyone likely to add their name to the list before the season is out?

Have they all been a losing finalist on someone's third consecutive ranking title? :-)
