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.

Jimmy. Because stats only tell half the story when it’s a question of greatness.

I honestly don't know, it's tough. I'll have a good think about it.

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.

TR was right in picking Parrot though.
Both him and Ebdon have 9 ranking titles, 1 UK and 1 WC.
