Unfortunately, Jimmy is the perfect example of how not to play snooker....... even though he is one of 3 of the most natural gifted players in history. But it was how he enjoyed playing..
No he didn't deserve to win, He simply cracked under pressure. Alcohol and cocaine, party life. Jimmy didn't take the game seriously enough. His own words.
jimmy jimmy jimmy despite not winning the world championship at sheffield, i salute you, for me sir you are the greatest snooker player that has ever lived.
@@RFED2O he's won everything in the game apart from the world champs(admittedly the most important one he couldn't win)and is in the top ten ranking event winners list.Although I agree he isn't the greatest player I would put him only second behind Ronnie O'Sullivan on raw natural ability and like I said he is in the top ten ranking event winners list so he's in the top ten players by right you could say.When you look at his record and also the amount of finals he's got to (admittedly lost as well) he has to be one of the greatest players on record without argument.
Jimmy at times played snooker that defied physics. Unbelievable cue power and break building. Sadly never won the big one at sheffield but had the masters and several other titles along the way. He still has a huge following and I will always be a big fan of his.
@@RFED2O he won 10 ranking event titles in his career. Which was a lot in those days, much fewer tournaments. And lost 14 finals. Won nearly as many as he lost. "no fucking bottle?" OK mate... Won the UK and the masters, just never quite got over the line at the world's. No shame in that, hendry was a machine. Won a shit load of non-ranking events too, and made 5mill. Definitely a legend of the game, for those who arent fair weather fans that only watch the WC.
@@RFED2O many of those non ranking events were bigger and more prestigious and watched by more people, with more prize money than the smaller ranking events now. Jimmy is still 10th all-time in ranking event wins despite playing in FAR fewer! Same with his prize money. He was a great player.
@@RFED2O why does being good at snooker mean you watch a lot and have knowledge of the professional game? You clearly don't if you think Jimmy white was only decent, and try to say Dennis Taylor was better!

Jimmy White at his awesome entertaining best.He may not have won what he should but when it just comes to raw natural ability hes up there with the best.In the eighties no one could do what he did with the cue ball and not that many can do it now.
Yeah u nailed it and while he was always deemed the peoples Champion the real truth is Jimmy was a nightmare on the drink and a real horror of a person if truth be told.
What a player. Sometimes his power over the cue ball was mesmerizing. I saw him at an exhibition match called 'An evening with Jimmy White' at the then local snooker club. When he came out, you'd have thought the roof was going to lift off, the cheers were that loud. He also trod on my foot but I didn't care. By the end of the night, he was absolutely pissed from the amount of drinks people had bought him lol. Fantastic night
Jimmy was the best in the 80's and 90's if it wasn't for Jimmy I don't think Ronnie would play how he did fast snooker pure joy to watch love u Mr white
Brilliant Fatsum Lam, and huge respect to you. You actually understate in your title how good the video is. You see, guys, you can do this and still get tens of thousands of views.
People do forget just what a GENIUS he was. (still playing to this day) It's just unfortunate that he lived in an era that had two other such people in it.
Phil Muggeson you are right. White had the raw talent but would have benefited from a sports psychologist to get him over the line. Hendry repeatedly took him down like a lion taking down a gazelle.....!
This is an example of jimmy playing without pressure, watch him in all of his wc finals to see why he didn't win, and also to see me and others cry, he couldn't handle the pressure like any normal bloke in a difficult situation, Hendry Davis and parrot could end of
Great entertainer, however never had the mental edge to compete at the very highest level. Always poor Jimmy let's see what you could have won. Dennis Taylor for example never had his natural potting ability, but he was a winner.
what are you talking about ? he competed in and won far more titles than Taylor ever did. Just not the world champs probably because there was so much pressure and expectation from anyone and the fact that his nemesis was the greatest player of all time. no other player in history has had the attention that he has.
There is only one title that matters. He had a long career and plenty opportunities. Like i say Dennis Taylor won it, how did he manage that when the best player ever was around ? Answer... he had the bottle.
don't talk shit mate ffs jimmy won 31 titles compared to taylors 19 he's made 317 century breaks compared to taylors 79 the only title jimmy never lifted was the world...and he did all that while being coked up and pissed off his face, imagine how better he would have been had he adopted that boring cunt davis's approach by drinking milk...sure davis won more but no cunt wanted to watch him play...everyone wanted to watch jimmy play.
The only reason Jimmy never won a world title was that he made the mistake of playing his best snooker at the same time as Stephen Hendry. If there was no Hendry then Jimmy wins multiple titles. Hendry was just too good though (for anyone).
Showing Dennis Taylor the world champion thief, how to play exhibition shots. Just wasn't that good to win the wc. Played in an era when 2 super human legends were around, hendry and Davies, otherwise he would have won several wc's I think.
I agree with the commentators.
I think he wanted a chicken chow mein...!

My favourite of that era jimmy white … he had such a unique talent. Crazy to think he never won the world…. But should have more than once
The only man never to have won a world title who actually should have, he was an amazing English talent
John Yeomans he won the world doubles

It seems to defy physics if you don’t understand spin / rotational momentum

Jimmy could do stuff on a table that defied physics ! He really was one of the best players ever to play the game pity he didn’t win a world title …

SavageArfad Higgins was magic but don't think he got the reaction on the cue ball like Jimmy.dont get me wrong Alex had his own genius way of playing.
Rewatching it again, what a series of shots holy cow
The first ten shots demonstrates why Jimmy was the most entertaining player ever. The last shot demonstrates why he never won world title
Yeah u nailed it and while he was always deemed the peoples Champion the real truth is Jimmy was a nightmare on the drink and a real horror of a person if truth be told.

I like that the crowd are really into it.
the cue power is unbelievable.
Great man great player great personality.. The greatest Jimmy white..
It takes bravery to referee Jimmy White in full flow. That flying cue ball after the pink could have been lethal haha. Incredible shots

Jimmy White is the man. No qualifiers needed.

People forget how good he was... Unreal talent
Typical Jimmy going in-off at the end there..
Will never be another jimmy white
0:32 Dennis in his seat thinking up some more jokes that he stole, that he can tell the next time he's on big break...
He thought them up but they're stolen..?

How times have changed

Hendry and ronnie then trump and selpy
And so davis😶
The loss to alex in the semi what a match that was i have never been so nervous watching a match
Jimmy was an amazing player. Unbelievable he didn't win a world title.
His bum would twitch
Couldn't hold his nerves.
Best ever at exhibition shots..
Lost count how many finals he was in that he could have won,brilliant to watch and such skill and control
The way he potted that last red was insane. He really should have one AT LEAST one world championship with all that talent.
What can you say he was just a legend a pure genius
Amazing and the best video🎥 on snooker. Great player's. Super like.
Do keep posting
Warm regards and best wishes
The UnknownManCub 👍😎👨🏭
Only , Jimmy White could strike the cue ball so low and never miss cue.
No one struck the ball as sweetly as Jimmy.
Forget the World Championship, look how many Hearts Jimmy won with his style of snooker.
Nothing on a snooker table he couldn't pot, put him in a world championship final and there's nothing he couldn't miss
Phil Muggeson you are right. White had the raw talent but would have benefited from a sports psychologist to get him over the line. Hendry repeatedly took him down like a lion taking down a gazelle.....!
SavageArfad his match against kirk Stevens in the B&H. Both of them were totally ripped..... no testing in those days.
Buy One Get One Free I agree but Hendry was beating everybody.Jimmy was the only one giving him a run for his money.
@@paulr6881 Hendry was probably the greatest snooker player of all time, and Davis was the 3rd greatest. So Jimmy had his work cut out for him.
You can do anything with a bit of bugle up your trumpet. Know what I mean.
to be in six finals ??? getting to three finals is as good as winning one !!! so in my book he's won it twice !!!
Yes but back on planet earth he hasn't won it
Its just a shame your book ain't worth shit
I bet nobody can be a better entertainer than jimmy white what a legend
Alex Higgins
Jimmy white played the best shot I’ve ever seen and some called it the shot of the century! It’s his masse shot, check it out on TH-cam incredible! 👌
If he had laid off the cocaine, he may have won the world titles.
You stole my thunder i somehow feel cheated wanting him to win the world title so much . we never knew he was a junkie.
It's the cocaine making him perform like this.
My Idol
1. Jimmy White
2. Stephen Hendry
3. Ronny O'Sullivan
They sound like the audience in Wii Sports
@01:14 Impressive Mullet swagger from Jimmy...
The greatest in my opinion.
It's hard to know what powered this break more....bugle or mullet?
I now know the Chinese for ''check side''
Mr White is my idol !
How he never became a world champion in that ERA somewhat surprises me....I have never seen a hug talent like that even to this day!
This is an example of jimmy playing without pressure, watch him in all of his wc finals to see why he didn't win, and also to see me and others cry, he couldn't handle the pressure like any normal bloke in a difficult situation, Hendry Davis and parrot could end of
Great commentary 👍
LEGENDARY

I think they are commentating on Yahtzee
Jimmy White my hero!!
Probably the only guy who could pull of shots like this.
1’00” Good to learn the Mandarin for “check side”!
Cantonese
Cantonese. And check side is adding spin
All that force and his hair plugs didn’t fall out 😝.
That double!!!!!!! Pool stuff.
He was playing these shots 25 years ago what Ronnia and trump are doing now
Jimmy one of the greatest ever
0:34 who is that guy
Dennis Taylor
Well done Jimmy on regaining the world championship. ,seniors world championship .great work,
Which was the “exhibition shot”?
Nice mullet jim. Shots are ok too
Ah yes I can actually understand the cantonese
What a whirlwindesque way of potting balls...
Greatest ever to not win the big one. 3 world titles would have been a fairer reflection of his talent
Never seen snooker played on a square table, before.
Mullet Jimmy was the best
'quiet please ladies and gentlemen'
He was like Alex Higgins without the wife beating
0:58 Check side in Cantonese 🤣
Nice mullet
Wow! Which one was the exhibition shot? 🤣
0:13, 0:25 and 0:54. Late reply sorry but hope this helps.
0:14
His check side show of on the green was pish
The match sounds like it was played at Victoria Station..🥴
Let’s just say judging by the pace of the white it would have come back on for blue n a clearance...

No sweeter cue action.
