Jimmy for me.

OK he didn't win the world title, but those 6 finals simply can't be ignored. And the rest he's equal or better than the two of them.

Its a tough one for me. Abilitywise undoubtely but the lack of World titles really hurts. And Ebdon beat prime Hendry in a World final which Jimmy failed to do in 4 attempts.

This is a tough question. Parrott is underrated I think. He was a great all-round player and Ronnie always had much respect for him. But I have to go with Jimmy.

White is the greater player in the sense he's by far the most gifted.

But it's really difficult. The lack of a world title can't be overlooked. He also lost a UK final to Parrott, which means Parrott won 2 out of 3 of their multi session finals.

Ebdon managed to beat Hendry in a world and U.K. final.

I'm sitting on the fence here, this is too difficult.

Parrot <laugh> rofl


TR was right in picking Parrot though.

Both him and Ebdon have 9 ranking titles, 1 UK and 1 WC.
