Jimmy White is going Crazy against O'sullivan @ Hamburg 1993 ! (German love 💙) 

I've been lucky enough to see Jimmy playing a couple of times, he deserves the title of the people's champion. Alex Higgins, Ronnie and Jimmy helped make snooker the great game it is today!

White could afford to be casual; he was 36 ahead with only 22 left on table so O'Sullivan did need 4 snookers!

Hahahhhahahha

147th like 😆

@@adrianwright8685 John Spencer needed 6 snookers playing against Jimmy in 1987, and Spencer got them! Won the frame 79-74. Both champion players but Spencer was tops that day.

Exactly, not winning the WC damaged his reputation as a great player!

Jimmy White has still won 10 World ranking tournaments even if he didn't win the World championship

@@interstellarbeatteller9306 yes that's why he's one of the greatest players to hold thst cue

@Randy Strange you can never say never

@@johnmc3862 so ture

Is it better to be recorded in a book as winniong something, or be in the hearts of men ? Jimmy surely the latter...

Because of the haircut

alan, you beat me to that comment, Jimmy was always my fav from when I was a kid, in fact I think it was him and Alex Higgins that got me into snooker in the first place. Never knew quite what they were gonna do and both had so much charisma. Greats!

The peoples champion :)

I'm glad he won senior world titles at the Crucible. My faviourite snooker player.

@@distantthunder12ck55 Both great players.... both also arrogant unkind men, addicted to cocaine, alcohol and prostitutes during their careers.

+rhysoto90 so am I

Coz ur a dum bugger

Honestly Ronnie brings out the best in people - look at Stuart bingham’s blank expression every time Ronnie pots the pink into his wife

147 likes! Lol

@@CharlieCoops What?

! :-P

Yeah Right huh!, only a few in the world could make that shot at a glance like Jimmy did, The Whirl Wind!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

'93 ....he still had good coke stored up from the 80's lol. they both zooted a f 😯😂😂😂

like mark williams when he potted the green snookered then pots the green

Jimmy later on in some show repeated this shot, failed and admitted that it's a chance of 1 out of so many. Who cares, the moment is his forever 😂

Zain Abdulla No he doesn't, Jimmy had a much larger following at one point. Ronnie would never have got to play that. Ronnie is more like mozart, jimmy is piccaso.

Wing Zero I agree.Ronnie has more natural ability although it is close.Jimmy had more flair and was more gifted in the shots he could play, obviously it's winning that counts and Ronnie is far more consistent but Jimmy's Trophy cabinet is pretty full.

If we're talking entertaining! Then it's Alex hurricane Higgins then Jimmy whirlwind white the guy Jimmy molded himself on and respected above all others.

İf ronnie is messi jimmy is definitely ronaldinho

Higgins (Alex not John 😏) v White, l declare a draw!

Mark kinrade hi my other half thinks it's phenomenal how i pot her brown .... the dirty hewer!!!

Alex Higgins owned the game. He would let Jimmy Borrow it now and then.

Not shot match

who is this? does he hunt witches and wizards?

​@tigerchills2079 it's a guy who famously got pissed when Ronnie played some exhibition shots left-handed.

epic! :)

Yes, but it was all about the cue action.

I dont get to watch much snooker these days could someone please explain the reference for me?

@@mkprocter882 After Ronnie played some reckless shots in the semi-finals of WSC this year to counter Selby's boring psychological game (which he's done for over 20 years and nobody complained), Ronnie won 17-16 and Selby said it was "disrespectful of him to him and to the game"

Pragmatism v Idealism. Still with us from the Middle Ages.

Match fixing?

@@ra5071 Don't agree, but I wouldn't rule it out

@@ra5071 Seriously?

It is true Jimmy probably didnt know how good Ronnie would become but Jimmy was not treating him as an amateur player thats the way jimmy played.

Yeah Ronnie is a good player but he is'nt anything like Jimmy, Jimmy is a hands down snooker legend who took great risks in snooker. Stephen Hendry did this and Steve Davies was on a whole another level during his time. Ronnie is good but he does not match up to those three player in my opinion :)

***** your opinion is irrelevant since you just said that.

I completely agree with you infact in my opinion stephen is the greatest of all the time and jimmy is the most skillfull player but it is the fact that at present ronnie is best of all the presesnt professionals

Anyone that thinks Jimmy White was better then Ronnie should watch a different sport imo. White not on the same planet as O Sullivan .

If you speak truth you watch live you also a legend

What do you mean? I went crazy mad searching if Ronnie or Jimmy passed away... Careful with words, mate

@@LucasGautero He's talking about Alex Higgins, who died in 2010...

A wife beating alcoholic....yeah sorely missed....like fuck.

His loss was our gain.

it definitely ranks with Alex Higgins genius

have you seen ronnie escapes? look at his 5 cushion escape. its ingenius

It was so unlucky all those drugs fell into him and that he stumbled across all those parties. And so unlucky that while he was doing that, that Stephen hendry was in a wee club practicing for 9 hours a day. Every day. Such unlucky circumstances. He wasted his talents. Wondeful player who could do it all. But fate played no part in it. He fucked up! Accept it.

@@Romamb mjb

ok

He was bit unlucky to play against arguably the one of the greatest snooker player(Hendry) in his early career and later again pitted agains another greatest player(Sullivan). This is like competing in Heavy Weight against Mike Tyson in your first half and Mohommad Ali in next half. He is unlucky like Badminton legend LCW. First half had to pay agains Taufik Hidyat then agains God of Badminton Lin Dan. Some players are plain unlucky as I have seen. Another example Chess legend Peter Keres. Though what ever people say to be a champion you have to be little bit lucky tooo...

@@Romamb I'm pretty sure that the whirlwind won enough tournaments to make himself financially comfortable and given the choice I would prefer to watch a match with Jimmy at his best than I would Hendry. In fact, I lost interest in snooker around the time that Hendry was just breaking through. You can't take it with you so what the hell.

Thank you

@@snookasus ich liebe Deutschland

he was a cross dresser??! well that was still an awesome shot

+taliwakka 27 Hahaha, very good :)

ROFL! Thanks for pointing out! :D

haha spot of the year mate

I want an animated gif of that man... it's hilarious!

Full body seal clap...arrr arrr arrr!!!! Haha good eye mate

you got autofocus in your eyes?

He won World Seniors Championship twice now in 2019 and 2020 in Crucible Theatre so in a way he did.

@@reav3rtm He's won the world seniors 3 times twice at the Crucible and somewhere else can't remember where.

20 years later you will say the same for this year

That's the most racist thing I've ever seen, you should be utterly ashamed

Scott Leicester What are you talking about? I’m not racist I just like Cornish pasties. Is that cool?

@@scottleicester4266 Appreciate the heads up my dude, just lay off the racist remarks, you seem like a good bloke really.

Raskul X go fuck yourself weirdo 🤗🤣

@@scottleicester4266 Thanks for checking in man. Scotty Lizao is the man amirite? :D

Just a pity he had no bottle for the snooker WC.

Same like when u watch Messi or Ronaldo playing football.. Lol they still goat even don't win world title..

I´m quite sure I have it on videotape in the cellar. I have dozens of snooker recordings from the eighties and nineties and saw this game live on SportsChannel Germany. The crowd went absolutely bezerk!

IfYouWannaUseGuitars Please upload!!

Oh dear me :-) Then I have to start searching for the tape. And for the vcr :-)

IfYouWannaUseGuitars Oh yes please do upload! If you have more videotapes, can I convert them for you?? I'm a snooker nut

IfYouWannaUseGuitars You ever found the videotape in your cellar ?

Not in the top 5 but still a great player.

@@markkinrade2739 what top 5

@@neiltrevatt top 5 greatest players he's not in there. To be classed as great u need to win titles. Ronnie,hendry,higgins,davis,trump,williams that's 6 to name a few better than Jimmy. Love Jimmy though great entertainer

@@markkinrade2739 i know that but if you read my comment it said in my mind .He is by far a better player than some of the winners that have won the world championship

@@neiltrevatt you're entitled to your opinion but to me you've got to win titles to be a great. Certainly the best player never to win the world championship

He couldn't handle the big occasion's mate. Bottle would go.

Me to I used to be cracking up watching that hendry fucker beat him time after time.

@@wanderer1955 Nothing to do with bottle, its those longer marathon sessions, can drain you mentally more so than others.

@@frizzyred1292 Yeah Riiiiight! Lol!! If Hendry, Davis, Higgins, Thorburn, Reardon, Taylor, and Spenser could take it, so should White. Nah!! It was "bottle". Sorry.

@@wanderer1955 Id say most of those other names would have lost to Hendry. You dont go to a decider with Hendry if you havent got the"bottle" as you put it. You are wrong.

Imagine they were of the same age, so we could have seen about 20 years of them playing each other. The speed is inceedible. They both didn't sit down for more than 5 seconds.

Pincho Paxton quite please, keep it down

Pincho Paxton

WHERE'S THE CUEBALL GOING??? ~has minor stioke~

He’s got the pace, has he got the line?

An he’d still miss by a meter or more!

hatin'

dead right ,selby like watching paint dry ,players still dont get it you need to entertain as well.

brian trickett Steve Davis: 6 World titles, Jimmy White: 0 World titles

Ross N - Jimmy White entertained the masses. Steve Davis made them fall asleep.

Game isn’t called potting is it ? Davis and Selby play the prim and proper game O’Sullivan Higgins white ext...play the exiting game. If you can’t appreciate both forms then leave because there’s no point wasting you time watching a game you can’t understand properly!

All over the world and played by millions.

Stephen Hendry.

@@rootykazooty351 hard to say....could hendry have won if he was coked to the eyeballs for all his peak years like jimmy?

letone rip or jimmy white... dumb fuck.

Isleofskye Davies ?

Indeed , my friend. I feel VERY OLD as one day in Gants Hill, Essex I played Snooker in a local small hall with a friend who lived there and the advertisement on the wall spoke of a PROMISING new YOUNG talent from that area: Steve Davis.....lol

你也是...!!!!
