"Do as all pragmatists do, compromise" - The Borg Queen

 

Steve Antony Williams, Head of eCommerce professional for hire.

RIP a great sportsman

without comments

I just learned today that Alex “Hurricane” Higgins, the bad boy of snooker, has died:

How the hurricane finally blew himself out: How Alex Higgins’s charisma was matched only by his talent for violent self-destruction.

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.
