In doing so he was the first qualifier since Terry Griffiths in 1979 to win the sport's biggest prize and the lowest ranked. At the age of 22 he was also the second youngest ever world champion. Murphy became a household name with a succession of upsets wins culminating in an 18-16 triumph against Matthew Stevens in front of 7.8 million armchair spectators.
