Black-Dog Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Is Jimmy active in sport or does he dislike sport? I had read a german interview from 1998 and Robert said that Jimmy doesn't play tennis with him. Maybe he like other sports? Wie versteht ihr euch abseits der Bühne? R.P.: Wir haben unterschiedliche Interessen... J.P.: Hätten wir das nicht, wäre es doch bedauernswert. Wir sind enge Freunde und kommen exzellent miteinander aus. Das ist selten im Rockgeschäft. R.P.: Jimmy geht mit mir nie Tennis spielen, und ich begleite ihn niemals bei seinen Ausflügen in gewisse Nachtlokale. Kein Tennis? Dabei haben Gitarristen doch starke Arme? R.P.: Seine rechte Hand ist sehr aktiv... J.P.: Ich bevorzuge körperliche Aktivitäten abseits einer grünen Rasenfläche! R.P.: Mit einem Wort, wir sind in guter körperlicher Verfassung!

Aside from track (high hurdles) as a teenager Jimmy's never seemed to keen on sport, either as an active participant or an observer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParanoidAndroid Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I do recall reading a while back that Jimmy had taken an interest in Chelsea FC. Though I wonder if the author was being humorous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lzzoso Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I read somewhere awhile back that Jimmy had taken up Snooker and Cricket. I have no idea if he still engages in these activities. If you consider consorting with females/groupies a "sport" (as some people do), Jimmy was a complete Olympian back in the 70's (as was Robert).

He did have a snooker table at Old Mill House in the early '80s and posed for a UK magazine shoot in September '74 wearing cricket gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura_Page Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I think in the book "Hammer of the gods" it is said that when he was at school he was really good at hurdle races Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyGun Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 As far as i know, he is a fan of Chelsea FC, mainly because of the place he was born in london (didnt saw him at any of theyre games)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
