Grrrr. Everyone can see the waste, clearly. How could you not? The man is dead.

I was in a bar in Bangor Co.Down going back about 10 years ago. Alex higgins was there being an utter prick to people. Steaming drunk, the manager eventually asked him to leave. He refused to budge. He had to be bribed with a bottle of whisky to leave as the manager didn't want the bad publicity of having to have the cops forceably remove him. So bottle of grog in hand he left....only for a couple of minutes later, the bottle to come crashing back through the window, showering the nearby tables in broken glass and the heavy bottle luckliy didn't break but it hit a young girl a good thump on the shoulder. If it had hit her face she's have been fucked.
Anyway, the guy was a legend on the snooker table. Probably the second best player to have ever played the game. But he is certainly no hero or somone to be looked up to.
Alex Higgins R.I.P. You crazy bastard!!!

and honour as a distinct sovereign state.
No one is disputing how good he was , but i still stand by the fact that he was drinking and playing from early in his career
he didnt become an alcholic overnight and it had to affect his performance on the pitch at times. We have all heard the stories
of him going drinking from saturday after a game up until training maybe following tuesday, he readily admitted this himself.
There is no way that u would be as fit or focused for a game the following saturday as a player who didnt do this

What do you determine as 'early in his career'? It was at least 6 years (1969) before the bad behaviour started.
It was a different culture back then. Footballers drank, trained, drank again, trained, played. Ferguson was the first United manager to actively fight against the drink culture with Moran, Mc Grath, Whiteside. How many Liverpool players were convicted of drink driving offences while winning league titles in the 80's.

Not only that, but in the 60's and 70's both smoking and drinking was actually encouraged by the medical profession.

sadly that is true
Better
Im not disputing any of this but i doubt if it made them better players, what u seem to be saying is that it was easier
for him to play cause the rest of the guys on the field were after going on the piss aswell,
I suppose what u are saying is that if u try it in todays game u will be found out much more quickly because the fitness
levels of players and the intensity of the game has increased dramatically. The fact that ferguson tried to stop it proves
i suppose how much it was affecting players performance

Its sad when ever anyone passes on. He's part of our youth. Its alwys scary(ish) when these folk join the choir invisible.
Was he a nice man ?
Most certainly not, but thats all in the past now.
Could he play snooker ?
Like a God,
he did things that could not even be imagined.
A great foil to the talent of Steve Davis, it was perfect theatre.
