    One of the best so far, Jimmy, what a genuine bloke. You could tell the way he started quizzing you about drugs and gambling, he was genuinely interested, not up his own arse like so many.

    Could you imagine the scenes for every bloke aged 35 -75, if the Whirlwind came back and won a world title. That would be GOAT like status. Great interview James - top guy Jimmy.

    So many interviews with Jimmy don’t delve deep enough. This is possibly the best interview he’s given and a large part of that was your superb interview style and emotional intelligence. Hope you do another with him when he retires.

    This is probably the best interview I've seen with Jimmy. I think he sensed from word go he was talking to a kindred spirit and opened up. I'm 54 and have worshipped Jimmy White since 1982. Him and Alex were my heroes. The thing about Jimmy was he was and still is, a gentleman. The number of times he called a foul on himself the referee hadn't seen was astonishing. Not many players would do that these days.

    What a interview class James....love Jimmy loved watching him play snooker along with Alex Higgins and the rest of them at that time, Jimmy was a fantastic friend to Alex Higgins he was there for Alex right up till Alex died. I live in N Ireland my dad was brought up not far from Alex he was also the same age as Alex, Alex could be a nice, funny, bloke but he could also be very ignorant and fight with his own shadow at times and he died a very sad death but even through all his flaws he was well liked and thanks to Jimmy for being there for him....well done James on another fantastic interview.....

    Never seen Jimmy open up like this. Amazing interview! Love the fact that he still thinks he’s got winning tournaments in him. Legend !

    What a top chat with a Topman, doesn't hide anything, he sez that how is, but also a gentleman.

    What an awesome interview. I played snooker with Jimmie and Tony Meo at Ron Gross' Snooker Centre in Neasden back in the 70's - Jimmy was 11. I watched Jimmy win the world amateur in Hobart and always thought he would go on to greatness. I also spent a couple of weeks chauffeuring Higgins around to tournaments. I lost touch with snooker for many years but often wondered if Jimmy's friendship with Higgins was his Achilles heel - apparently it was. Great to see Jimmy has matured into a level headed senior citizen :) Good Luck Jimmy.

    Catching up with a lot of interviews as I’ve picked up Covid, definitely helped take the edge of it. Jimmy White man , what a guy, watched every frame on all 7 world championship finals. Got a 6ft snooker table for Xmas as a kid because of him and Alex. Awesome

    Always loved watching Jimmy play. My uncle was friends with his dad over south London way and I used to hear so many stories. I can relate to loads of what he says in this interview.
    Jimmy = legend
    Great podcast James

    Sorry I missed the live chat...jimmy white for snooker was the equivalent to Mike tyson in boxing.. made the masses start enjoying playing or watching snooker on a large scale.

    Great interview. Special because it is two working-class guys being open and honest. Loved it! Although I have never been famous I have had my problems with addictions, drink and drugs. I have been clean for 5 years now and listening to you two here has given me more will to stay clean Thanks lads
