Hard to believe that's a man in his fifties playing there. He obviously still has the skills but doesn't have the swagger of years gone by. It seems like all the practice in recent years has taken his flair away. Still one of the all time greats though.
I agree. As I have already said, I have seen Jimmy in a few exhibitions quite recently. He still has fantastic ability & a real desire to compete & entertain. I think the weight on him to prove to everyone & himself he still has it on Tv or the big stage is massive, as it was to win a world title. Still a great player after 3 & half decades though !
the thing that he's lost in his game is his cue ball control. watch any of his tour matches over recent years, and every couple of shots he's out of position. his last qualifying match for the world championships was painful to watch because of it, sadly...

Must be the hat! They should let him play in it all the time.
Haha, Don't imagine there have been many maximum breaks compiled in a baseball cap :-)
