Re: ALEX HIGGINS : Sat Jul 24, 2010 7:27 pm  
thats truly truly bad news.

one of the great anti establishment figures, and with out him the big earners who came afterwards would have still have been playing in working mens clubs.

fed up.

Re: ALEX HIGGINS : Sat Jul 24, 2010 7:33 pm  
my fave alex story was he was playing an exibition game in a club round here and was frankly gash in the first hour, locals beating him etc etc, when asked why he said the balls were too cold and got club cook to put them in the oven for 10 mins, would have looked a complete berk if he hadnt then knocked in about 4 centuries in next hour.

met him in preston at the world qualifiers many years back, got murdered with him, kirk stephens and the ever funny cliff thorburn, worst hangover ever.

sport needs mavericks

downer.

I could merge it with a thread on the "Other Sports" forum (where it really belongs) if you prefer? :roll:

Same here - snooker was huge in those days and Alex Higgins was the man; I loved the way he swaggered round the table, flicking the V's at the whole world. Very sad news - RIP The Hurricane.

Yep, in those days they even showed him sat in his corner, chain-smoking his way through packets of Bensons. The Whirlwind never really had what the Hurricane had, though he came close. The modern day bad lads are too bothered about image and haircuts to be really bad. Sad day for those who love the real characters.

On the same note, darts isn't the same either, since they replaced pints and tabs with bottles of Evian. Bring back Fred Truman and the Indoor League.
