The Londoner is still competing at the top level of snooker at the age of 62, much to the amazement of his old rival Davis
Steve Davis has quipped that snooker legend Jimmy White's heating allowance is the reason he still plays.
Davis, who had many epic showdowns with White in years gone by, including the gripping 1987 UK Championship final where he emerged victorious 16-14, is astonished by White's enduring prowess. Speaking exclusively to Mirror Sport, Davis said, "How amazing. What is he, 62 now? That is amazing." "He knows full well he can have a really good match and then the next time it might not quite work, and that's the frustration. You know you can produce it every now and again, but consistency is the problem as you get older. When he manages to put it together it's fantastic to watch."
