Jimmy White was found in holiday park with eight others after three-day 'Hangover' bender

Snooker legend Jimmy White once went AWOL at a holiday camp while on a three-day bender reminiscent of The Hangover film series.

White was one of the top players in the sport during the 1980s, frequently doing battle with Alex 'Hurricane' Higgins. The duo famously partied hard as well as being at the top of their game, though that frequently got them into trouble.

One such incident saw The Whirlwind's manager Harvey Lisberg tasked with tracking down the snooker ace. White had been reported missing by his now ex-wife Maureen, with Lisberg sent to find him after she phoned his office.
