Met the players today. Jimmy White in a Burnley top? Didn't know he was a fan!
(Source Joey Barton's Facebook).
Met a legend today. Grew up watching Jimmy at the Crucible. I'd sit with my grandad and watch on TV. Every year we'd say 'it's Jimmy's year this one!' #legend

I wonder if they had him up doing a bit of singing.
Have you ever heard his (frankly amazing) single 'Jimmy's Minted'?

So what was Jimmy White doing at Burnley as a friend of mine has just said she thought he was a Chelsea fan?
Or is he a mate of Joey's?

Dyche has often said he likes to get people in from outside of football to give chats to his players. With the rest of the squad seemingly in the background on that pic I'm guessing it's one of them.

I think there's a Sportsmans Dinner/snooker exhibition with him at the Turf soon.

Jimmy White is a brand ambassador, whatever that is, for Dafabet. I guess that's the link.

Read the banner and thought that Joey had gotten into another dust-up.

I wouldn't have known it was Jimmy White, good advert for avoiding drugs and drink.
Fabulous to watch in his prime though.

Nice Barnet Jimmy, I need the name of his hairdresser. I wonder how he's managed to have more hair now than in his early twenties

The best player to never win a world championship, and Jimmy White.
