steve davis
in january 1979 at the holsten lager international, spencer compiled the first ever 147 maximum break in tournament play. he was playing cliff thorburn in the quarter-final and won the first three frames of their encounter 106–1, 147–0 and 119–0. spencer could not resist giving the excited spectators a shock by lunging forward and hitting over the cue ball in his initial address, before potting the final black. thames television were resting their tv crew at the time following the previous match between alex higgins and david taylor and so missed the historic moment. this did not count as an official maximum break as the event used non templated tables, so it remains an unofficial maximum break. spencer went on to win the tournament, beating rex williams 6–2 in the semi-final and graham miles 11–7 in the final. the sponsors awarded spencer an extra £500 for the break in addition to his £3,500 first prize. three years later on 11 january 1982, spencer was steve davis's opponent when davis made the first televised 147 at the lada classic tournament at the queen elizabeth hall, oldham. this occurred in the fifth frame of their quarter-final match when the scores had been poised at two frames each.
