And when he mentioned that fact to Jimmy White himself, he refused to accept it. But it's true. Jimmy was a fantastic player. One of the most gifted ever but he couldn't handle the biggest snooker event of them all. Really sad😟

    Pity of the bad image quality.
    I know Ronnie O'Sullivan can make terrific shots as well, but Jimmy White was not only snooker player, but also an entertainer as well. He loved goofing around with those balls and enjoy the crowds, even if it costed him a frame. So maybe sometimes not a frame, but he did get the FAME...
