snooker very much like darts in the early years fags and booze companys being all the main sponsers, not the healthiest of sports .

loved playing snooker when i was young but the fag smoke used to kill me and in alexs case actually did .every sport has its rogue , and to an extent its that side of them that makes them what they are / were.

RIP alex .

Gone but never forgotten..!!

 

It's a shame to see a world class sportsman's life deteriorate publically....:( This man had it all and in the end died a lonely man.

 

I imagine this is how Gazza will end up.

 

RIP Alex.

My Dad was telling me about one Sunday night a year or two back, he was walking out of church in Belfast when a little old man, stinking of drink and barely able to stand walked up to him and asked him for some change. It was Alex Higgins.

 

A really sad end to a talent I've yet to see matched.

 

RIP Alex.
