Snooker Legends comes to Merseyside for the very first time on Thursday 25th October 2012 with a truly spectacular match-up between ‘The Rocket’ and ‘The Whirlwind’ at BT Convention Centre Liverpool.
Ronnie O’Sullivan as the four-time and current defending World Snooker Champion will be taking on his great friend and former World Seniors Champion Jimmy White, to provide snooker fans of all ages with a fantastic evening of entertainment.
Ronnie is undoubtedly the biggest name in the sport and has rarely played exhibitions, so this is a great chance to see a very special head-to-head match – their last meeting in June saw Ronnie make a 147 maximum break and both players are known for their fast, exciting play plus an arsenal of trick shots!
The players will be joined at the event by the legendary John Virgo who will be on hand to provide expert analysis and entertain the crowd, whilst World Championship Final referee Michaela Tabb will be once again taking charge and keeping the boys in check.
Commenting on the event, Ronnie said: “I’m really looking forward to playing in Liverpool, I had some great times living there in my early days as a pro and have some lifelong friends still in the city – and playing against Jimmy you know you’re in for a heck of a game!”
