GONE TO POT I’m a snooker champ but crack cocaine addiction cost me £10k a month at height of my fame – I was stoned for 20 yearsJIMMY White has revealed it's a "miracle" he won any titles because he was "stoned for 20 years". The 61-year-old snooker legend previously told how he would have "drink after drink and line after line" on benders. But fame took a dark turn as Jimmy became hooked on booze and cocaine while partying with Higgins, who died in 2010, and fellow wildman, snooker pro Kirk Stevens. What you've got to remember is that I was stoned for 20 years," he told Metro.co.uk. White was a formidable snooker player at his peak and claimed the Masters in 1984 and the UK Championship in 1992.
