Very sad news to hear that Alex Hurricane Higgins has passed away at the age of 61.
When I was a child I got into snooker & persuaded dear ol Dad to buy us a half size table & spent many hours a day & night on it & was treated to visit's to the Snooker Club in Wolverton to play on full size tables & watching it on tv Alex was my favourite player.
R.I.P. Alex
I got into snooker in the 1980's when I met Steve Davis at Weston Favell Centre. In those days doubles snooker was on at Derngate (I was a kid and didn't go). I started playing snooker at Overstone Road Snooker Club around that time. Alex wasn't my favourite player but was part of the golden age of snooker (imo)
