Best snooker player to have never won the World Title. I think I agree with Steve Davis when he was asked why Jimmy had never won it; he said just plain old fashioned bad luck. Jimmy was the right player in the right place, but at the wrong time. Mind you, he did have his chance in 1994 I think it was, but it wasn't to be. Left behind some truly great moments though.

@FlaviusConstantius You are absolutely right if you say,that Jimmy would have won the WC if he would't have played against peak Davis/Hendry. But I think that Ronnie was able to beat them. Ok,Ronnie lost two times against Hendry in the semis of the WSC during the peak time of Hendry. But don't forget that Ronnie beat Hendry two times in the UK Championship final in 1993 und 1997 and even in the Hendry peak time Ronnie was ahead in Head to Head against Hendry.

@theodorehui I don't think so. Higgins made 143 one or two times there also that year.

[theodorehui]

did he get the high break prize eventually?

@GAC1984 Thanks for that. Do you think if 147s become too common it wiil let the air out a bit? May be time then for new challenges, time clock etc.

is this a wig he is wearing??

@eblanaken That was the highest break that year Jimmy had it tied with John Higgins who won his first world title that year.
