RIP a great sportsman
I just learned today that Alex “Hurricane” Higgins, the bad boy of snooker, has died:
I’m a bit of a former snooker anorak myself on the quiet and have played for a local team etc. My father was a pretty good snooker player as well, and even played John Spencer (a former world champion) once. Alex Higgins was a character, and a damn good snooker player. Ok he was also a drunkard and a chain smoker …. RIP Alex, I aspired to be as good a player as him.
Steve
