Higgins seems a nice guy and did a lot for the game and his mates should help him out but why should they be expected to pay their hard earned cash out?

Alex Higgins died from the throat cancer he was fighting, when all is said and done snooker would have been a worse game without him.

Re: The legend that is Hurricane Higgins....
RIP Alex.
Bestie, Higgins and Barry McGuigan were heroes when I was growing up on the Border. Such a tragic loss. |

Classic Hurricane. A true legend of a man, be interesting to hear what all the past and present snooker champs have to say about him. :) |
