James Warren White, (born 2 May 1962) is an English professional snooker player who now competes with an invitational tour card.
Nicknamed "The Whirlwind" because of his fluid, attacking style of play and popularly referred to as the "People's Champion", White is the 1980 World Amateur Champion, 2009 Six-red World champion, 2010 and 2019 World Seniors Champion, 2019 Seniors 6-Red World Champion and 1984 World Doubles champion with Alex Higgins. White has won two of snooker's three majors: the UK Championship (in 1992) and the Masters (in 1984) and a total of ten ranking events; he is currently tenth on the all-time list of ranking event winners.
He reached six World Championship finals but never won the event; the closest he came was in 1994 when he lost in a final frame decider against Stephen Hendry.
He spent 21 seasons ranked in snooker's elite top 16.
In team events, he won the Nations Cup and the World Cup with England.
He is one of a select number of players to have made over 300-century breaks in professional competition.
White was also the first left-handed player, and the second player overall, to record a maximum break at the World Championship.
