One of snookers' most flamboyant players Alex ( hurricane )Higgins has died of throat cancer at the age of 61.
He was a superb player to watch and will be missed by millions./
R.I.P. Alex.

R.I.P. Alex.
He was a fantastic snooker player and always entertaining with his great skills. So sad he had such troubled later years and that he died under such circumstances.
He will be sadly missed.

Great snooker player. R.I.P. Alex.

I vividly remember after he won one of his world championships, he ushered his wife and young daughter to join him ..............................Alex was a one off .........................RIP

That was a highlight in his career Robert . He was a one off to watch.
One occasion that we remember was so funny and so memorable was when he had a broken foot and was hobbling around the table playing his usual great game.

He certainly lived his life to the full!R.I.P.

Did anyone watch the tribute to Alex on BBC 2 tonight ? I really enjoyed it, the hour just flew by ................his daughter has grown up into a very well spoken young woman and she is very attractive ................it's hard to believe how large the early mobile phones were .................I was shocked and saddened to see how thin and frail Alex was towards the end of his life
