Fred Davis MBE (August 13, 1913 - April 16, 1998) was an English professional snooker and billiards player, and was one of the most loved personalities in the game.
Davis was originally a billiards player, turning professional in 1929. His first professional snooker match was in 1937.
He was the younger brother (by twelve years) of Joe Davis, who dominated snooker from 1927 to 1946. Joe retired from the world championship after his 1946 victory, leaving the way open for Fred to win three times in 1948, 1949 and 1951.
