Mark Davis did not qualify in ‘05; he had departed to Andy Hicks in the 4th qualifying round, 10-5
White & Davis have never met in the WC, either the main event or the qualifiers; shockingly, they have only ever played each other FOUR times overall!

A reminder of the question (with the caveat ‘at the World Professional Snooker Championship’).
I am off out to pick up some supplies for the afternoon session so you’ll have to wait for a bit and try to contain yourselves in the interim; If no correct answer is forthcoming upon my return, I shall start to issue clues...(could this be any more exciting?

Bondy wasn’t there in ‘05; a victim of Tony Drago having one of his good days in the final round of qualifying - the Tornado blowing through by 10-4
Jimmy & Nigel have never played at the Worlds, or in qualifying.

Now then. A clue I think; perhaps a slightly cryptic one to start with :
The player in question keeps losing his shirt...

Well deciphered
Jimmy beat Fergal 10-5 in 2005, then went down 5-13 to Matthew Stevens. A year later came the Gray defeat, and he hasn’t been back since.
Still, always next year...
