Jimmy ‘The Whirlwind’ White MBE, probably the best snooker player never to win the World Championship. Very few players have completed a maximum 147 break at the World Championships like he did in 1992.
Jimmy White MBE is an English professional snooker/pool player who now competes with an invitational tour card. Nicknamed “The Whirlwind” because of his fluid, attacking style of play and popularly referred to as the “People’s Champion”, White is a six times World Championship finalist, the 1980 World Amateur Champion, 2009 Six-red World champion, 2010 World Seniors Champion, 2019 Seniors 6-Red World Champion and 1984 World Doubles champion with Alex Higgins.
