Alex Higgins: R.I.P.

Despite all the bad things he did in his life,you couldn't say he wasn't a great entertainer in the world of snooker when he was at the top of his game. Alex led a colourful life and went downhill once the booze took over his life and he whacked that referee! But he was a true sporting character - the George Best of snooker if you like. Seeing those last pictures of him in the papers looking so frail was a sad and pitiful sight. I only hope he finds peace in that great green biaze in the sky.

R.I.P. Hurricane Higgins (a nutter but an entertaining one)
