Alex back on now.
|
|
By:
oh my goodness, what a shock. Poor chap.
|
|
By:
needs to get back on the booze
|
|
By:
Poor old Alex. He did look rough.
|
|
By:
Seems a nice enough bloke but I am afraid his problems are entirely self inflicted.
|
|
By:
Read his autobiography and came across as a total nightmare. Ripped off all his friends, eventually ran out of them. Huge ego, he was never wrong, always someone elses fault. Painful to read as I admired him as a kid.
|
|
By:
I take it all back Ghostdog.
He is an absolute cnut. |
|
By:
lol, maybe he has learned something and sorted himself out, I hope so. The damage is done though, resemblance to Mark E Smith of The Fall is uncanny.
|
|
By:
they didn't show him playing much, i wanted to see if he was still any good.
|
|
By:
The bloke was always a wrong un
The threat he made to Dennis Taylor was a disgrace |
|
By:
I think the main problem these days is that he sees 30 reds on the table.
|
|
By:
what threat was that?
|
|
By:
Alex Higgins and George Best two of a kind unfortunately.
|
|
By:
I never particularly liked him as a person (and he tried to steal my trilby once when he was drunk at Manchester airport!) but you can't help feeling sorry for someone whose in such a poorly way.
|
|
By:
Were you wearing it, or did he try and take it from a chair?
|
|
By:
I'm amazed he's mae 60 to be honest. Feel sorry for him - he falls into the category for me, of sports person who attracted fans and sympathy because he showed his emotions so openly. A colder analysis though, suggests he's a pretty unpleasant guy.

In the 80's was in swallow street W1 billy hills with a friend. I left about 10 mins after him. Walking past the Ritz hotel. Police were holding down a man on the pavement outside the Casino door.. It was Alex.

I was wearing it, Munch Man, and he came over beckoning, saying "Give me the hat, give me the hat!".
I smiled at him and said "No", so he started to get aggressive, until his manager/friend dragged him away. |
|
By:
Oh dear, how rude.
|
|
By:
He was, MM, and I'd have taken no notice of him at all if I'd been on my own, but my dear old dad was with me and he got very upset about it.
|
|
By:
He sounds like the Godfather. Shame really.
|
|
By:
Unheard of to knock in a ton in 3 minutes before he came along.
Before him there was the dour player that would have seen snooker stay in smokey halls. The players of today genuinely owe him their jetset lifestyle and massive pay cheques. |
|
By:
Plus of course the snooker table fit nicely on screen.
No matter how well it fit ,you wouldn't wanna watch Pullman and his ilk play :D |
|
By:
Agreed, Brodie.
Although not a very pleasant person, he was a wonderful snooker player - and great for the game itself. |
|
By:
Oh yes ,not a nice bloke at all. Strangely aggressive for a bloke 8 stone wet thru :D

REPORTED

|
By:
i would too
empty threats are no good |
|
By:
Another absolute nutter.
How he is still going, God knows. Had cancer, been a big alchie and been absolutely fecked, looking on his last legs, for decades. You could play him for a tenner in the Irish Centre in Cheetham Hill a few years ago whilst he was getting smashed all day. There was a period where the M.E.N. would have a different Alex Higgins story on the front page every week. Nut job. |
|
By:
Nutter, no. More:
A wild man who caught and sang the sun in flight. And learned, too late, he grieved it on its way. |

Alex Higgins on the 'memories' clip, with that funny hat and winning the WC.
