White: My party days are over
Eurosport - Thu, 28 Feb 12:37:00 2008
Jimmy White has said that his partying days are over and he is ready to kick-start his snooker career once again.

The six-time World Championship runner-up has slipped down to number 60 in the world rankings which means he now has to go through the tough qualifiers just to make it to big events.
Such a slide has led many to question White's appetite for the game but he says he is now ready to put the dark days of gambling and binge drinking behind him and concentrate on snooker.
"Believe me, I feel the same way now about snooker as I did when I was 13. I'm back in love with it," he told the Daily Mail.
"I've had my dark days, but I wasn't really a hell-raiser as such. I liked to drink and I liked to party but I never did anyone any harm, never hurt anyone. All I did was hurt myself sometimes.
"Now I'm not interested in late nights. I used to go looking for it but now I have to stop if I want to get back into this game. I'm 45, I'm a grandad, I have hands-on family stuff and there isn't much time to be wild."
The next big test for White will be to qualify for the World Championships at the Crucible - he has made it to the final qualifying round where he will play Mark King on March 10th.
"I need to play my 100 per cent game to get through to the World Championship but I can do that. I still take risks when I'm playing which is why people always liked me.
"I'm still 'The Whirlwind' when I'm in the balls, but I try to take my time a bit more now. When I get in, I make sure I do some damage. The big shots are all there, every part of my game is 100 per cent.
"I've got to keep pounding, keep my discipline. I've had all the sports psychologists, I've worked with Paul McKenna, but in the end you have to find it deep inside you. It's all there, I'm telling you.
"(King) is a difficult final qualifier for Sheffield but if I can take my form into that match, then you'll see. Everything is focused on that.
Meanwhile, White, who has had many duels with the likes of Steve Davis and Stephen Hendry, has said that he thinks both those players have been eclipsed by Ronnie O'Sullivan.
"Ronnie O'Sullivan, the greatest snooker player ever, will tell you that he doesn't practise," he said.
"I'm not having that. I call him Roger, after Federer, because he's a genius. He doesn't like that nickname."
