Loves how he mentions Alex as well. For me personally the 3 musketeers of snooker. What a trio. Alex Jimmy and Ronnie

In Alex Higgins case, the fuel was vodka. I doubt we'll ever see a man capable of playing that well, having drunk so much, ever gain. That era was amazing, so many of the worlds best sportsmen were alcoholics, or on drugs. No wonder it was so entertaining.
I saw Jimmy at an airport once he saw me looking at him when i told my young daughter that's Jimmy White over there .Jimmy came over and said I could have a photo no edge to the guy. He was happy to chat you would never believe he was a legend in the sporting world
Jimmy is a top bloke. Met him at at opening event. Of course he was getting paid well but he engages with his fans very well, spent a lot of time with us.
I think it's good that Ronnie has Jimmy as a friend because every now and then Ronnie talks about packing the game in there is no doubt about it if Ronnie set his mind to it he could smash the record of seven world titles and set a target that would never be beat and I think Jimmy would give him all the help and encouragement Ronnie might need to carry on and go for it

Fantastic, and yes, Jimmy is a top bloke also .
Unforgetable day. Thanks to the huge players and to Eurosport
Ronnie: Jimmy's a brother to me... Jimmy: Bless you. Knock's me for six every time. Two massive talents, and they love and respect each other.

If only Jimmy white had a friend like himself when he was younger. He would have been a different player.

Poor Jimmy was stuck with the lunatic Alex Higgins 😂
This interview right here shows the different level Eurosport’s coverage is over everyone else. Real snooker players following and covering the sport they love not just dipping in & out of a season. You will never see a player like O’Sullivan open up on the BBC or ITV plus it’s not just Ronnie the other top professionals all seem to be more at ease around the Eurosport team (maybe Selby being the exception 😂) As they say a rising tide floats all boats and the “Bigger” channels are benefiting from your brilliance.

Hi @eurosport are you able to upload the montage that was played after Ronnie won his 7th WC? It had music from Hans Zimmer. Thank you
Incredible to think that nearly 30 years after winning his first major title he's still world no 1 and world champion! I think the 8th title is on now!
Of course Ronnie took a shine to Jimmy - he was the only man in snooker with a bigger appetite for wing wang than he had.

Jimmy is a jealous bellend when it comes to hendry he speaks about him as if he is a run the mull player. Hendry was a genius himself created the modern game long red straight into the pack clear up. Ronnie knows this. Only Ronnie has surpassed Stephen through longevity
Fucking love Jimmy and Ronnie, legends, back in the day those 2, Alex Higgins and Ronnie wood would be on the Guinness proper! old skool legends.
Whats unique about ronnie that he has won major titles in his 40's whereas stephen hendry and steve davis went stale in their early 30's. Phil taylor of darts played awesome well into his 50's and i think ronnie will do the same. Ronnie is enjoying snooker more than ever now with less pressure to win, so i think ronnie will still be playing great in many years to come. Jimmy & alex will always be the greatest entertainers for me though.

OK let's debate. Is Hendry's 7 titles in 9 years more impressive because it shows how he dominated the period or is Ronnie's 7 titles in 21 years more impressive because it shows his longevity... hmm... 🤔

@@harry2.01 Ronnie's head to head with Hendry is 30/20 off the top of my head. It's been discussed before, but had Ronnie not had all the family "issues" there is little doubt that his tally of titles would be higher. Even he has said that for five seasons '95 to '00 he was being unprofessional in his approach and was constantly partying. Ronnie has also been in at least 13 Masters finals. Not sure how many Hendry was.

@@travelfreak2 ....however Ronnie has been great over 30 years...Hendry was only really great in the 90s...lets be generous and say he was great for 15 years though. Thus , Ronnie has beaten a greater number of opponents of which the standard has risen over twice as long a period. Ergo..Ronnie is the GOAT.
I think he was extra emotional because of a split with his girlfriend.

Jimmy was the almost champ so now he's channelling himself through Ronnie for a proxy win.
