Mike tyson and Jimmy White can say what they want, if you dare question them you'll either get your head punched off or get a snooker cue stuck up your arse

Fair play for him being so honest. Like a lot of people who were born with a great talent he has his own demons. Alex Higgins, Jimmy White and Ronnie O'Sullivan are three of a kind.

[@actorscrib5932]

Great talents !

[@shack7631]

@@23bramble Higgins, White and O'Sullivan are among a rare group of people who can attract audiences of people who are not necessarily fans of their sport. Muhammad Ali did it with boxing. People tuned in to watch the style,charisma and sheer talent of these legends.

[@23bramble]

@@shack7631 agreed

[@davidwills3107]

Higgins and White were a different breed to O’Sullivan, Jimmy is so likeable and Alex was funny and a hell raiser, O’Sullivan is a genius and the best of the three at snooker, but a bit of an old woman.

[@lefroy1]

All things considered, Jimmy looks great. It's been almost 30 years since we've seen much of him on the tellybox, yet it might has well've been last year! Not many from that generation, or even generation's since could say that.

Tbf if it wasn't for drinking/drugs, he wouldn't be the guy he is today. Still very successful in the snooker world, seniors/exhibitions etc. Alex Higgins would be turning in his grave if he knew how "snobby" snooker has became or more so "professional TV tournaments" have became.

He's right about the quality of Charlie these days. 90% of cocaine on the streets in the UK is less than 5% pure. That's not hyperbole, that's a fact. How people keep putting their hand in their pocket at £100 a gram for it is beyond me. London Charlie in the 80s and 90s was mental. You could chop a £50 gram up between two of you and you were Batman and Robin.
