See the Paul Hunter Classic thread for details.
I'm talking in terms of accomplishments, rather than how exciting the player is.

Still think it's White, although I think Ebdon's achievements are arguably more impressive given who he was up against in his prime.
I may be confusing entertainment for greatness.

We also have to consider that Ebdon is a vegan.

Peter Ebdon likes to argue something just for the sake of creating a debate. He´s not completely wrong about that. If there wouldn´t be any new building or gardening projects going on everything would be just to google the information. And what would that leave us? Now it is a matter of opinions, which is great and creates some prospects. Just need to try to take an advantages from those.
But still, come on.. Just try to be more yourself. And less like me. Okay. Just a one person always to dictate the colour of the day. Okay.

That's my problem. I spend too much time wanting to be like The Saviour.

It’s close but I think Jimmy shades it. Both at their peak, Jimmy would win.
