Spotted this plate the other day.  Possibly Jimmy White.

Thanks for that, Donny. I was wondering.

I googled it and read that it was owned by JW and then sold to an unnamed pro snooker player.

But on another site, there was a picture of the car when JW had the plate and it looked like the same vehicle. (The one I saw the other day was a white Bentley.)

Is Ronnie not competing in Belgium?

It's Ronnie's, or it was back in the nineties.

After winning some big title ( I forget which, but probably his first major ) He bought himself and Jimmy matching ford escort convertibles (XR4's maybe)
I met them both a few times at the vic over the poker tables (Jimmy more than Ronnie), both really friendly people.

Ronnie was fairly new to the high life at the time, and seemed to be enjoying it immensely.

5/10 years ago it was defiantly on a black Bentley belonging to Jimmy, saw it a few times as he practiced at his managers club local to me. he sold the plate to Ronnie but Ronnie sold it back to him saying he did not like the attention it attracted.

If it is now on a white Bentley my guess is it is still Jimmys?

Yes, it was a white Bentley.

I was about to say that a plate like that might attract (sometimes unwanted) attention.

I went on a tour of Stamford Bridge about 12 years ago and one of the tour guides said John Terry moans about the attention he gets in his car but shouldn't be surprised if his number plate is JT 26.
