Tony Drago's smile in the background as White was making the break was delightful. Imagine the generosity of spirit to will your opponent on to make a maximum! Great stuff, really enjoyed!

I love that Tony Drago hugged Jimmy after that amazing 147. Aside from being a great snooker player, Drago is a class act as well.

I remember this great moment from 1992 I had a bet anyone to make a 147 break 14/1 with William Hill I got £300 for a £20 stake . Later in October that year my Dad died of lung cancer I looked after him having given up work he was so pleased to see jimmy make this break it really cheered him up God bless r.i.p. dad .

The most fluent cue action in the game

Drago was the perfect oponent, a real gentleman ... Jimmy was just perfect 👏👏

Nerves of steel. Great sportsmanship from Drago after the last ball.

Unbeliveably beautiful naturaL Sooker stroke from Jimmy White...... one fantastic looking snooker player style . probaly the top 3 of all time .

What a player, what a man, there's only 1 whirlwind, we will always love u Jimmy, legend!!!

What a top class guy Tony Drago is, he was a great player too. Well done, Jimmy. That was a great maximum break. Bring Tony Drago back as a snooker commentator. He is missed by many snooker fans.

One of Jimmy's moments of perfection. I remember watching this at the time and being nervous as anything. Shot of the championship with the rest. Jumped out of my skin when he sunk the final black. Legend.

The players back then were so happy to see their opponent's do this i remember kirk stevens watching jimmy do this and applauding at his bamana shots, drago was great . More excitement than modern day snooker

I never get tired of watching this break,and what a good sportsman Tony Drago is,he didnt hesitate to hug Jimmy for a great bit of cueing.

When snooker was exciting to watch. Now it’s 😐 Only sweet memories left 😊

Big applause for Drago as well

Two greats. Tony Drago's acceptance and congatulating is heart warming.

A great maximum by a truly great player Jimmy at his best is a joy for any real snooker fan

Yes I used to practice with jimmy in a club in Selly Oak in birmingham, about twenty years ago. Best player never to have won the world snooker title legend.

What a great 147. Always looked forward at watching Jimmy White games during the 80s and 90s.

I remember seeing this on the TV! Was round my nans flat in Stepney and me and my Grandad jumped for joy when he made it. Good times. He made the final 6 times never won the world title. He won multiple UK Championships.

Fabulous snooker and respect shown in this video....well done jimmy and well done tony....

To me Jimmy White is the greatest snooker player of all time

I was always genuinely upset when Jimmy never won in a final of the world championship

Was watching this at night at Dartington college, Devon in '92. Only one in the tv room as it was shown late. Fucking amazing.

WOW its great 2 see that again, i think people forget how good jimmy was & in 1992 is was in the best form of his life he should have won the embassy world championship that year but as always with jimmy ever the bridesmaid never the bride, jimmy white in my mind is the best player in the world to never win the world championship & my all time favourite player, he had less hair in those days too & drago is a better pool player than he is a snooker player jimmy is a legend & still loved by fans

This was the second time in the space of a few months that Drago was on the receiving end of a 147 break. James Wattana did it a couple of months earlier and he did so with the knowledge that his father was gravely ill in hospital after being shot the previous day (Wattana wasn't told his father had died 'till after the match).

Every bit as good as O'Sullivan at that time in his career. Beautiful to watch, playing risky shots as if nothing mattered, at a speed a pool game is played.

Incredible talent from JW matched by the same level of humility and sportsmanship from Drago. Love this

Fucking love the whirlwind

Fantastic !!! Jimmy White a true snooker legend. I enjoyed watching this :-) Higgins White O'Sullivan I enjoyed watching them all.

Remember like it was yesterday, one of the best 147's in snooker history.

That long red and then the rest to pot the black amazing.

Fell in love watching Jimmy back in the early 90's. But watch that super-casual spin of the cue at 9:39 ... such a classy act and natural showman.

jimmy's got to be one of, if not the most fluid player ever !!

Fantastic player,probably my favourite of all time,golden era of snooker!!!!

Jimmy was kind enough to play me at 8-ball pool. It made my day. Top man.

this was my lovely dad refereeing. xx

For all the brilliance of the Higginses, O'Sullivan, Hendry etc, I still don't think there's ever been a better sight in snooker than Jimmy, amongst the balls, in full flow. Such a unique cue action, such swagger, and those shots that he made his own. The outrageous amount of side he could generate, those classic deep screw shots, awesome play with the rest - all of them Jimmy's trademark calling cards, and all on show here. Fantastic break.

Such a great player!! Joy to watch....jimmy white

I remember this match, it was all over in 39 minutes, the cue ball had multiple scorch marks on it and had to be replaced, five reds and the blue ball had cracks in them, the table was beyond reusing, even the carpet had burn holes in it, amazing match, come on Jimmy, Tony was a true gent, great character.

Ah! back in the days when Jimmy could still play👍

thumbs up if you played Jimmy White's Whirlwind Snooker

You could see the excitement in his eyes before the last black...thinking how much coke £100,000 would get him. Poor Jimmy, I watched every one of those bloody finals. I sometimes think Ronnie is taking revenge on Hendry for Jimmy's sake. Wiping nearly all of his records away. I'm not sure Ronnie will win 2 more Worlds to equal Hendry but I think he's got a few more ranking events left in him as he breezes to a 1000 centuries. C'MON RONNIE

Never seen such brave player hits the ball so sweetly never mind you can't have everything in life no doubts he is a legend

£100’000 up his hooter ✊🏽 legend

i love watching this guy play.

Classic Jimmy White. Made so many brilliant shots to keep the maximum on. Definitely one of the top ten players of all time.

amazing cue power..

lol the ref telling an audience member to "shut up" wow

It would have been nice to see Jimmy win at least one world title. He certainly deserved to.

There was some serious tricky shots in this great break.

Perfection!!

Tony drago celebrating jimmy whites 147 was just as good as the 147 itself.

A pleasure to watch....it reminds me of when I used to play Pool in Sean O'gs!!!

I never feel sad for jimmy,, he won all the big titles apart from the world and got to 6 finals,, made a living from the game he loves and still more popular than some of the world champs from the past.... come on Jimmy!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the upload : )

I miss those days.

drago played often those unforced shots in his career... he liked the "fast game"

Fantastic it’s perfection when you see a 147

Wow! Spectacular play!

awesome! I drink with Jimmy quite often I had forgotten about this 147 until now thanks for posting

It looks that Jimmy is in form this season he have qualified for 3 ranking tournaments and hope he will continue :) legend...

A beast !!

watched this during my college days in london.. what memories.. london was a much better and safer place back then also

Two great players.. Nuff said !!

Favourite ever player

my hero

Love both these players

In Essex, a 16 year old boy who had just turned pro thought, "That's the way to play snooker."

Beautiful stuff.

my idol

The cheer when the last pink & Black goes in is the loudest cheers ever heard at the crucible. This was the year when jimmy was at his most consistent. This year he made a maximum, won the UK Championship, got to the final of the WC, & was playing brilliantly all season. He had Hendry for the taking but at 14-8 ahead, he thought he’d already won it & would breeze through to win another 4 Frames, therefore started playing recklessly instead of carrying on & playing somewhat of a percentage game as he had done up to that point of the final. People always refer to 1994 & that missed black off the spot as Jimmy’s best chance, but it wasn’t. This (1992 WC final) was his best chance because of how far ahead he was & how well he was playing. Such a shame.

Jimmy is great man to watch playing snooker and has defo got talent

9:44 what great sportsmanship ... great move by drago

Great cue ball control. Very enjoyable to watch.

It's fair to say Drago was erratic with his snooker. Certainly the Whirlwind outclassed the tornado here

What a shot with the rest.

just finishing his book on a beach with a beer in mallorca-legend

Amazing

velfortjent 147 til jimmy White.dengang den aller beste med kø forlenger i verden.

20 people need a slap!

Tony Drago was smiling all the way through this frame, and hugged Jimmy at the end. Like when a 9 dart finish happens in darts, sportsmanship and appreciation shown.

the look on Jimmy's face walking into the last shot. fully focused

I love Tony. He gets so emotional. I wish he was on the snooker tour.

Miss these days and David Vine like crazee. Moved to the US so haven't followed the game since '91. Just learned of Hurricane's passing. Jimmy, cool as ice here and kudos to Drago for the love. I wish Jim just had that 1 trophy under his belt. Still the most popular of them all.

i have to live 1000 years to defeat this monster... Salute JM!!

Amazing 147,Jimmy was the people's champion,we all loved him and still do,but now we have Ronnie O'Sullivan,the greatest ever,6 worlds,7 u.k.s,7 masters,20 triple crowns,37 ranking events,1,100 and odd centuries,15 147s,these are mind blowing stats,c'mon Ronnie at least one more world title

So confident great player

maybe jimmy never won in sheffield but for me and most people he will stay as the most popular and beloved snooker player in the history.

what a genius and what a great sportsman this drago is here!!!

£100K was a lot of money in 1992! Well, it still is now obviously, but you know what I mean.

insane . woww

Lol, the second 147 against Drago that year! Crazy to think he still (at least recently) plays, while he wasn't even the youngest back then!

A break they should preserve in the vaults forever.

amazing spirit from tony drago!

When snooker was exciting and full of characters.

Oh, yes. We're going for a ride now... The Magnificent Whirlwind in action!

In 1973 at 19 years old I broke a 10 cherry rack and ran out for 81 points. The hole Poolroom went wild. 6 people bought me a Coke!

Nice one, Jimmy 👏👍❤️
