The 1987 Embassy World Snooker Championship was a professional ranking snooker tournament that took place between 18 April–4 May 1987 at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield, England. Joe Johnson made it to the final again, as did Steve Davis, making it a repeat of the 1986 final. However Johnson did not retain his title, as he fell to the Crucible curse and lost 14–18 to Davis. It was Davis' fourth world title. == Tournament summary == * The Davis vs. Johnson final was the first time in the Crucible that two players had met at the final two years running. The last time it happened in the championship was in 1951 by Fred Davis and Walter Donaldson. It would happen again when Stephen Hendry and Jimmy White met three times in a row between 1992 and 1994.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.snooker.org/Trn/hof.asp?pEvent=World )〕 This is also the only time that the final was contested by top two seeds of the tournament. * Ray Reardon made his last appearance at the Crucible when he beat Yorkshire debutant Barry West 10–5. He then met Davis in the second round where he lost 4–13.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.snookerdatabase.co.uk/PlayerDetails.aspx?PlayerKey=58&tourns=WC&plStat=2#PlayerResults )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.snookerdatabase.co.uk/PlayerDetails.aspx?PlayerKey=130&tourns=WC&plStat=2#PlayerResults )〕 He dropped out of the top 32 in the rankings at the end of the season from 15 to 38.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.snooker.org/rnk/history.asp )〕 * Aged 18 years and 97 days Stephen Hendry became the youngest ever player to win a match at the Crucible. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1987 World Snooker Championship」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
