Jimmy White: Snooker legend to meet fans and perform trick shots at Sheffield bar

Jimmy ‘the Whirlwind’ White’s free-flowing style has made him a firm fan favourite and brought him huge success during his career.

He’s made it to six World Snooker Championship finals but the sport’s biggest prize has always eluded him, with a thrilling final frame defeat to Stephen Hendry in 1994 the closest he has come to date.

Aged 62, he’s still playing at the sport’s top level, and has also enjoyed huge success on the seniors tour, winning the World Seniors Championship a record four times.

He is coming to The Wildcard Bar & Grill, on Ecclesall Road, Sheffield, for a charity night on Tuesday, October 29.

He’ll be sharing stories from his remarkable career, answering fans’ questions and performing trick shots.
