Warren "Jimmy" White MBE (born 2 May 1962) is an English professional snooker player. Nicknamed the "Whirlwind" and popularly referred to as the "People's Champion", White is a multiple World Championship finalist renowned for losing each of the 6 finals he contested.

White's extensive list of achievements, however, also include victory in the World Amateur Championship, the UK Championship and the Masters. He is also a former World Doubles champion with Alex Higgins and won the World/Nations Cup three times with England. In 1992, he became the first left-handed player, and second overall, to record a 147 maximum break at the World Championship.

Ronnie O'Sullivan (born December 5, 1975) is a professional snooker player. His fast play has earned him the official nickname The Rocket, with unofficial monikers including The Essex Exocet and The Magician. He is considered by many of his peers and snooker fans as the most naturally-talented player in the history of the sport whose highest level of play is arguably unmatched in the history of the game of snooker.

O'Sullivan started his career at an early age. He first achieved a century at the age of 10, scored a 147 maximum break when just 15, and turned professional at 16. He was the youngest ever winner of a ranking tournament when he won the 1993 UK Championship aged 17. In total, he has achieved a 147 break in professional competition 6 times during his career.

As a naturally-talented but temperamental player, O'Sullivan comes from the same mould as Alex Higgins and Jimmy White.

O'Sullivan's personal life has been well-documented. His father, Ronnie Sr, is serving a life sentence for murder, having been convicted of murdering the black bodyguard of Charlie Kray, brother of the Kray twins, when O'Sullivan was a teenager. This led to a harsher sentence as it was believed there was a racial element to the killing. The family have always denied both this and O'Sullivan's supposed guilt. Considered a perfectionist, O'Sullivan is publicly highly self-critical—even in victory. He has suffered from depression and various addictions.

His career has thus not been without difficulties. After winning the 1998 Benson & Hedges Irish Masters, he was stripped of his title after a drugs test found marijuana in his system. He also has an uneasy relationship with the press, with some of his comments considered ungracious. In 2004, O'Sullivan's father called 1970s master player and six times World Champion Ray Reardon and asked that he give O'Sullivan some advice. With Reardon's backing, O'Sullivan came into top form and claimed the 2004 World Snooker Championship, famously humiliating Stephen Hendry 17-4 in the semi-final with a virtuoso display.

O'Sullivan is unique amongst the current ranks of top snooker professionals in that he can play with the cue in either his right or left hand—frequently alternating between the two within the same frame. Whilst he lacks power in his left arm, the ambidextrous angle to his game has proved to be a boon, allowing him to more naturally take on shots which would otherwise require awkward cueing with rest or spider.

When he first displayed this gift in the World Championships against Alain Robidoux, the Canadian accused him of disrespect. O'Sullivan responded that he played better with his left hand than Robidoux could with his right. He has subsequently commented several times that switching to his left hand helps him retain his focus and provides him with extra motivation, both of which have often been found wanting in his prodigious game.

He holds the record for the fastest recorded maximum break, made whilst playing Mick Price in the World Snooker Championship on 21 April 1997; he completed the clearance in 5 minutes and 20 seconds — an average of one shot every 9 seconds. In fact, his six maximum breaks include the five fastest on record.
