Snooker legend Dennis Taylor believes it’s about time the World Championship returned to Northern Ireland.
Taylor, 74, was the last player from the country to win the sport’s biggest prize when he beat Steve Davis 18-17 in the famous black-ball final, which was watched by a staggering 18.5million people, in 1985.
Hurricane Alex Higgins is the only other Northern Irishman to have won the world title after his triumphs in 1972 and 1982.
