ONE of the most colourful characters, not just in snooker, but in the world of sport – Jimmy ‘The Whirlwind’ White, is coming to the Adam Smith Theatre, Kirkcaldy on Sunday September 1.
You will hear about it all – through the ecstacy of major wins and 147’s to the agony of missing out on the holy grail of snooker – the World Championship.
Footage on giant viewing screens will accompany some of Jimmy’s stories and most magical snooker moments.
During the second half of the evening , it’s over to you to ask ‘The Whirlwind’ a question or two. This is Jimmy relaxed and open as you will ever see him.
Jimmy will be in conversation with BBC radio and journalist Alex Belfield.
White won two of snooker's three majors: the UK Championship (in 1992) and the Masters (in 1984) and a total of ten ranking events; he is currently tenth on the all-time list of ranking event winners. He reached six World Championship finals but never won the event; the closest he came was in 1994, when he lost in a final frame decider against Stephen Hendry.
