"Snooker star Jimmy White is changing his name to Jimmy Brown, as part of a madcap sponsorship deal.

The Whirlwind decided on his new moniker following news that the brown ball in all major tournaments is to be backed by a sauce manufacturer. "

Bonkers... but I hope it brings him ome luck.

Jimmy White will alway's be known as Jimmy White no matter what.He is a great player,my late son looked after him in the 1998 world championships at the Crucible,he gave my son his invite for the final & a video & signed my jacket,which Jimmy wore when my son walked him back to his hotel.Though the signature has almost worn away.I will always cherish the items my late son got for me,as Jimmy was my son's hero.
