When we finished playing Taylor got a green stain on his pristine white shirt, not happy he'd got 3 more pontins exhibitions that day.

They were caught supplying explosives to the IRA?
Or was it the first televised maximum break? My memory is hazy.

That sounds more likely
They were indeed the commentators for the Nug’s 147 in the 1982 Lada Classic!

Judders is correct. The tournament started in 1992, although Davis was the first to defend it - winning in 1994 and (his last ranking title) 1995.
Since then, Higgins and O'Sullivan have each defended the title once.
