Former world snooker Champion Dennis Taylor has been a professional for some 24 years. His glittering career saw him win the World title in 1985 in an unforgettable match with Steve Davis which he won 18 - 17 on the final black at 10 minutes past midnight. That finale recorded the highest ever BBC or indeed any television audience in the United Kingdom of over 18 million after midnight, which probably still stands as the sporting record for a television audience in sport. Until last season he was the only player to remain in the top 16 for 22 years. He has won titles as far a field as Asia through Europe to Canada.

Dennis’s great love away from snooker is golf, and every spare minute is spent on the golf course. Music and motor racing are other great loves. Dennis of course has now achieved a cult status following his excellent performances in the BBC’s “Strictly Come Dancing”

In his home country of Ireland, he is a sporting legend and his fellow professionals hold him in high esteem. Dennis is an extremely humorous character and his after dinner speaking is in constant demand and we are looking forward to highly amusing occasion at the Castollo son Vida for the third Celebrity Lunch this year. Book early for what is sure to be a complete sell out event.
