The 1984 Lada Classic was the fifth edition of the professional snooker tournament, which took place from 8–15 January 1984.

[1] Steve Davis won his third Classic title beating fellow Londoner Tony Meo by 9–8.

Meo then won the next four frames to lead 8–7 before Davis levelled the match at 8–8 with a break of 84.

[2] With only the colours left in the deciding frame and Meo lined up on the yellow, a spectator yelled out "Come on, Tony!".

Although Meo took time to compose himself after the shout, he missed the yellow and a few shots later Davis the frame after potting the final pink.
