Known as ‘The Whirlwind’ among fans for his flamboyant style of play, White has won ten ranking event titles in all and over 40 years on from his tour debut remains one of snooker’s most well-known exponents.
He reached his first World Championship final in 1984 losing out to Steve Davis 18-16, before going on to reach five consecutive finals from 1990-1994. In four of them he would meet Stephen Hendry,. Famously coming agonising close to victory in 1994, missing a black when amongst the balls during a deciding-frame.
During the 1992 tournament he became the first left-handed player to compile a 147 break at the Crucible Theatre and to this day remains one of only six players to have made a maximum at the World Championship.
His last ranking title to date came at the 2004 Players Championship in Glasgow where he defeated the late Paul Hunter 9-7 to triumph.
During the 2022/23 season, White enjoyed his most successful campaign for many years, qualifying for the televised stages of the UK Championship and earning enough ranking points to regain his professional status via the one-year ranking list.
