Steve Davis retires

Snooker great Steve Davis has announced his retirement at the age of 58.

Davis began his career in 1978 and dominated the sport in the 1980s, winning six world titles and was world number one from 1983 to 1990.

He won 28 ranking titles, putting him joint second on the all-time list with Ronnie O'Sullivan and John Higgins.

His last match came on 10 April where he lost against Fergal O'Brien and failed to qualify for this year's World Championship.

Davis told BBC Sport: "The Fergal O'Brien match was my last and I told [World Snooker chairman] Barry Hearn it was time to call it a day. My father passed away recently and it was natural time to stop playing.

"I should have done it ages ago, I played a bit for my father. I am delighted to have such a great time in the game, I was lucky to have a hobby as my profession.

"It has been a fantastic. The game will move on to other places but I feel like the grandfather of the sport."
