Jesus, when I saw the thread title I was worried he'd popped his clogs.....
When I was actually interested in snooker I loved Jimmy and always rooted for him. Proper showman.

Re: Jimmy White
Good on him.
Like Ronnie and Alex Higgins before him, plays the game how it should be played.

Re: Jimmy White
Youtube have been showing the qualifiers, so was able to catch Jimmy's matches.
He won all four in pretty comfortable fashion. 6-0, 6-0, 6-4, 6-1. The last three wins coming over Mitchell Mann, Stephen Maguire and Dominic Dale.
Watching him interviewed after was a joy, He was a little boy who had just been handed his first ever Bike and couldn't wait to try it out.
Loved the confidence he showed during said interview as well when he stated "I'm not there just to make up the numbers, if I can Bring my A game then I can win it"
Jimmy has always been my all time favourite sportsman. So pleased for him.
