World Seniors Snooker Championship: Proud Jimmy White vows to keep 'trying my heart out' after record fourth title

Jimmy White celebrated his victory at the World Seniors Championship and said support from the crowd is what keeps him «trying my heart out.” White is one of the greatest players in the history of the sport and while he has not won a ranking title in many years, he has not retired from the full professional circuit yet, aged 61. Ad He is regularly seen in the qualifying rounds of major tournaments with occasional appearances in the early rounds, reaching the second round of the German Masters this season and the fourth round of the WST Classic, beating Judd Trump along the way.
