RIP Alex Higgins

[Iaing]

No matter what you thought of his personality or his lifestyle, he was one hell of a snooker player.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

I agree. Definitely polarised opinion and definitely lived life on the edge but undoubtedly the most natural player to ever pick up a cue. Always guaranteed an edge of the seat ride when he was on the box.

Deeply saddened here. Such memories. I expected to hear this news sooner or later.

He's been looking a bit worse for wear for a while so as mentioned it has been expected.
A true legend that inspired so many to play the game.
Rest in peace Alex.
