White's non-world championship achievements include the UK Championship, the Masters and the Nations Cup. A two times winner of both the World Cup and the British Open White was also the first left-handed player, and second player overall, to record a maximum break at the World Championship.
Early life
White was born in Streathbourne Road, Tooting, London, England, and studied at Hillcroft Comprehensive (later renamed Ernest Bevin College). He never achieved academic success, as he was often truant from school from the age of eight or nine, spending more and more time at "Zans", Ted Zanoncelli's snooker hall. The club was affectionately known as "Zans" and after Ted's death in 1978 it was handed down to his daughter. It was around this time that White met Tony Meo with whom he would compete in money matches in many venues. His natural aptitude for snooker, perhaps only bettered by Ronnie O'Sullivan led to a successful amateur career. After winning the English Amateur Championship in 1979, a year later he became the youngest ever winner of the World Amateur Snooker Championship, aged 18, a record since surpassed by Ian Preece and Hossein Vafaei.
James White (North Carolina politician) (1749–1809), Congressman from North Carolina, member of the U.S. House of Representatives.; usually referred to as "Dr. James White" to distinguish him from James White (General)
Jimmy White was an Irishsoccer player during the 1920s and 1930s.
Bohemians
White was a number 9 during this era in the League of Ireland and spent most of his career with Bohemians whom he joined in 1923. Jimmy made his way up from Bohs "C" team to make his debut in August 1926 against Fordsons. True to form, it was a scoring debut as he netted in a 2-1 win for Bohs.
He was part of the All-Conquering Bohemian team of 1927/28 who won every trophy on offer that season - League of Ireland, FAI Cup, League of Ireland Shield and Leinster Senior Cup. He scored 11 goals in 15 league games that season and a total of 24 strikes in 29 appearances in all competitions. Jimmy also scored in that season's FAI Cup Final on St. Patrick's Day as Bohs beat Drumcondra 2-1 at Dalymount Park. In 1931/32 season, White was given the honour of club captain.
Jimmy scored 69 goals in 157 competitive appearances for Bohs and is currently fifth on their all-time FAI Cup goalscoring list with 13 goals in that competition. After he retired from football, he stayed involved with Bohs and served on their Management Committee from 1945–48, 1949–60, 1961–64 and had a spell as Assistant Honorary Treasurer from 1964-69.
The Great Train Robbery was the robbery of substantial sums of money from a Royal Mailtrain heading between Glasgow and London in the early hours of Thursday 8 August 1963 at Bridego Railway Bridge, Ledburn near Mentmore in Buckinghamshire, England.
After tampering with line signals, a 15-strong gang of robbers led by Bruce Reynolds attacked the train. Other gang members included Gordon Goody, Buster Edwards, Charlie Wilson, Roy James, John Daly, Jimmy White, Ronnie Biggs, Tommy Wisbey, Jim Hussey, Bob Welch and Roger Cordrey as well as three men known only as numbers '1', '2' and '3'. A 16th man, an unnamed retired train driver, was also present at the time of robbery.
With careful planning based on inside information from an individual known as 'The Ulsterman' (named as Patrick McKenna in 2014), the robbers got away with over £2.6 million (equivalent to £48.6million today). The bulk of the stolen money was never recovered. Though the gang did not use any firearms, Jack Mills, the train driver, was beaten over the head with a metal bar. Mills' injuries were severe enough to end his career.
"The atmosphere's great but I didn't get the practice I would do at home"
"I have not come to Sheffield to look at the gardens near the hotel. If I didn't think I could win the World Championship I would go and play golf badly in Spain."
"With a bit of luck, the name Jimmy Brown will be engraved on the Masters trophy at the end of next week."
"I just tried to regroup. The only thing I could do was put pressure on him and the only way to do that was to just keep hitting good golf shots. I was able to put together a string right in a row there that really put me in good position to win."
"The momentum really shifted when he made that long putt and I think my nerves got the best of me, ... But he played extremely well down the stretch. He deserved to win."
"If we don't get gasoline to keep our water system running, then we're going to ask people to leave town, ... Our critical need is gas. We've had three incidents of looting because we can't patrol like we need to because there's no gasoline for our police cars."
"This woman was chronically sick and her family called us for help during the storm, but we couldn't put a vehicle on the roads, ... After the winds died down, there was no way to get to her because Highway 15 where she lived was blocked by fallen trees."
"I could see stealing bread and milk if your children were hungry, ... But these people are scum."
"I told him I would have too see about paying him, ... He told me not to worry about it."
"It's funny how the worst of times brings on the best of times,"

It's not time to make a change, Just relax, take it easy. You're still young, that's your fault, There's so much you have to know. Find a girl, settle down, If you want you can marry. Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy. I was once like you are now, and I know that it's not easy, To be calm when you've found something going on. But take your time, think a lot, Why, think of everything you've got. For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not. How can I try to explain, cause when I do it turns away again. It's always been the same, same old story. From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen. Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away. I know I have to go. It's not time to make a change, Just sit down, take it slowly. You're still young, that's your fault, There's so much you have to go through. Find a girl, settle down, if you want, you can marry. Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy. All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside, It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it. If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them they know not me. Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away. I know I have to go.
