Fred Davis, OBE (14 August 1913 – 16 April 1998) was an English professional player of snooker and billiards, being one of only two players ever to win the world title in both, along with his brother Joe. He was one of the most popular personalities in the game. His professional career spanned from 1929 to 1993. He was born in Chesterfield, Derbyshire.
Early career
Davis was originally a billiards player; he called billiards 'his first love' and he won the British Boys Under 16 Billiards Championship in 1929. He turned professional automatically under the rules of the Billiards Association and Control Council in 1929. By the time that he was ready to play competitive billiards, the sport was in sharp decline, although he did beat Kingsley Kennerley for the United Kingdom Professional Billiards Championship in 1951. Davis remarked that once snooker had come to the fore he assumed that he would never play another billiards match.
Forced to concentrate on snooker, he first played in the World Snooker Championship in 1937 but lost 17–14 to Welshman Bill Withers in the first round, a defeat that Davis put down to ignoring his worsening eyesight. His brother, Joe, considered this defeat an affront to the family honour and hammered Withers 30–1 in the very next round. Joe's fury with his brother's performance persuaded Fred to consult an optician who devised a pair of spectacles with swivel lens joints. He reached the semi finals in 1938 and 1939 and lost only 37–36 to Joe Davis in the 1940 final (although the winning margin was reached at 37–35 as 'dead' frames were still played out. This was the only time they met in the World Championship final. A short clip of the match and a mention of Fred's impending World War II service is caught on a Pathe news clip. Davis in fact was called up on 20 July 1940, only five days after his marriage to Sheila.
Alfred Thomas "Fred" Davis (March 26, 1868 – July 24, 1945) was a farmer and a politician on the federal and provincial level in Canada. He was born in 1868 in Mitchell, Ontario to William J. Davis and Tabitha Worth. He married Margaret Davidson in 1898.
Political career
Davis first began his political career as a municipal councilor in his home town of Mitchell, Ontario. He later became the towns Mayor.

Fred Davis v Warren Simpson - 1960
Contrary to the title card, John Pulman was World Champion at the time, and Warren Simpson wasn't, and never has been, the World Amateur Champion -- a tournament that has only existed since 1963. Fred Davis staged a series of exhibitions in a world tour in 1960 which included stops at Bombay, Calcutta and Madras, as well as various cities in Australia. According to North Wales Weekly News (21 July 1960) Davis played a number of players from Canada, Australia and South Africa. The paper reports that this break was broadcast on the 'National Broadcasting Station of Australia' (presumably ABC?), so it was a televised century break that preceded those of Joe Davis (filmed 1962) and Mark Wildman (broadcast 14 November 1960).
Simpson was runner-up to Spencer in the 1971 World Final.

Contrary to the title card, John Pulman was World Champion at the time, and Warren Simpson wasn't, and never has been, the World Amateur Champion -- a tournament that has only existed since 1963. Fred Davis staged a series of exhibitions in a world tour in 1960 which included stops at Bombay, Calcutta and Madras, as well as various cities in Australia. According to North Wales Weekly News (21 July 1960) Davis played a number of players from Canada, Australia and South Africa. The paper reports that this break was broadcast on the 'National Broadcasting Station of Australia' (presumably ABC?), so it was a televised century break that preceded those of Joe Davis (filmed 1962) and Mark Wildman (broadcast 14 November 1960).
Simpson was runner-up to Spencer in the 1971 World Final.
I can't say for certain which city this was filmed in. If anyone knows, leave a comment.

Fred Davis, OBE (14 August 1913 – 16 April 1998) was an English professional player of snooker and billiards, being one of only two players ever to win the world title in both, along with his brother Joe. He was one of the most popular personalities in the game. His professional career spanned from 1929 to 1993. He was born in Chesterfield, Derbyshire.
Early career
Davis was originally a billiards player; he called billiards 'his first love' and he won the British Boys Under 16 Billiards Championship in 1929. He turned professional automatically under the rules of the Billiards Association and Control Council in 1929. By the time that he was ready to play competitive billiards, the sport was in sharp decline, although he did beat Kingsley Kennerley for the United Kingdom Professional Billiards Championship in 1951. Davis remarked that once snooker had come to the fore he assumed that he would never play another billiards match.
Forced to concentrate on snooker, he first played in the World Snooker Championship in 1937 but lost 17–14 to Welshman Bill Withers in the first round, a defeat that Davis put down to ignoring his worsening eyesight. His brother, Joe, considered this defeat an affront to the family honour and hammered Withers 30–1 in the very next round. Joe's fury with his brother's performance persuaded Fred to consult an optician who devised a pair of spectacles with swivel lens joints. He reached the semi finals in 1938 and 1939 and lost only 37–36 to Joe Davis in the 1940 final (although the winning margin was reached at 37–35 as 'dead' frames were still played out. This was the only time they met in the World Championship final. A short clip of the match and a mention of Fred's impending World War II service is caught on a Pathe news clip. Davis in fact was called up on 20 July 1940, only five days after his marriage to Sheila.
