So sad to see and such a shock :(

Re: The legend that is Hurricane Higgins....
 

I saw that yesterday and whilst I knew he was a shadow of his former self I was so shocked, especially the pic of him with the others who are just so fit and healthy looking. He seems happy enough but I guess having been such an addict for so many things for so long, he's just grateful to be alive. :(

It is shocking, I couldn't believe it when I saw the pics. It's such a shame. My heart goes out to his family.

Re: The legend that is Hurricane Higgins....
 

Does he still have family? They're never mentioned. I know he simply can't help himself and he's a total addict for many things but it does annoy me that these great sportsmen and public can get together to raise money for treatment whilst he nips into a bookies to place a bet. You can't let him suffer as he is but to watch him gambling and drinking with what little money he has must be frustrating for those trying to help.

terrible, a true master cueman

Re: The legend that is Hurricane Higgins....
 

Yep me too. I could not believe it when I saw that picture yesterday. I don't think I have ever seen anyone look quite so frail and shrunken before. :(:(

Re: The legend that is Hurricane Higgins....
 

Thats so sad, I used to love watching him play. :(

Re: The legend that is Hurricane Higgins....
 

He has sisters as far as I remember. They have tried and tried with him over the years, and although they look out for him, he does his own thing and they can't do anything about it.

Doesn't he have kids and an ex wife? I can't remember now.

As far as the drinking/smoking/gambling is concerned, whether has still has addictions or not, he will always be an addict. Some of those things probably keep him sane of a day.

There's an ex wife and a daughter, no idea if they're involved in his life at all. Must be soul destroying.

Re: The legend that is Hurricane Higgins....
 

I know it's very sad indeed. I was shocked when I saw the pics.

Re: The legend that is Hurricane Higgins....
