Double Joy for Jimmy

Bidding to return to the Wembley Arena for the first time since 2007, Jimmy White recorded another good win today against Preston’s Ian McCulloch to book his last 16 place but that is not the only cause for celebration for the Whirlwind tonight…

Yes, as well as his excellent win over McCulloch from 2-1 down, I also understand that Jimmy has been cleared of any wrongdoing regarding the driving story that I posted about on Sunday here.

As I had suspected but not wanted to say for obvious reasons, I am told that the man behind the wheel was his long-time manager Kevin Kelly, so hopefully for Jimmy that will be the end of the matter and he can concentrate on his snooker once again…
