Jimmy White, whose full name is James Warren White, is an English professional snooker player, commentator and pundit, born on 2 May 1962 and nicknamed the Whirlwind for his swift and attacking style. He has won ten ranking titles, as well as the Masters in 1984 and the UK Championship in 1992, but he lost all six of the World Snooker Championship finals he contested, and is widely regarded as one of the best players never to have won that title. He also played pool: with Steve Davis and Alex Higgins he was a member of Europe's victorious Mosconi Cup team of 1995, winning the deciding match against Lou Butera, and he entered the 1999 World Pool Championship, where he lost to Efren Reyes.
