Pity the booze destroyed his talent!

Mind you........i would'nt have played him for money and my highest break is 73!

rip

[steptoesaunt]

the way he pots balls is unexplainable really,a graceful deft yet exciting aggressive style i so sadly miss in snooker these days.

legend

Amazing beat cancer still making 147 breaks. Apparantly he had enough Chemo to kill most people

[2103blueboy]

complete genius, loved a fight, loves women, enjoys a fag, propper geaser, i hope he beats the cancer, but he does look really ill

[paddycfc1888opr]

i seen him in a north belfast bar yesterday (GLENPARK) aye he loves a fight alright, he was playing somebody for 20 quid.

alex came to our club in benfleet essex twenty six years ago for an exibition night. i will never forget that night. he was half cut when he arrived but still got a 135. and what a nice chap he was. had time for everyone. and even bought me a drink nice one alex legend.

[LarryConneely]

he may not have all the money and fame of the old days but i'm glad to see he still has enough health to enjoy the game he loves

[ANTIabP]

[deanastley]

[sspanzer]

You were treading on thin Ice videoing Alex, he could of turned very nasty. ;)

[grahamcrabbe]

Wouldnt have the strenght to do anything about it!Anyway I was discreet when filming, a matter of respecting a legend!

[Whoppet]

would be great to see him back on the tour - and why not?

[mickdee06]

hes a sick man and theres a lot of travelling in the snooker tour dont think the guy would be up for it

[SPACEODDITY247]

I saw Alex Play a couple of years ago, and he knocked in two seventies and a fifty. The talent definatly hasn't gone. When was this video shot and do you have any others??

[grahamcrabbe]

He was practicing in the Spawell in Templeogue, Dublin for a tournament in Citywest about 3 months ago,true pleasure even to watch him now,even a weakened Hurricane can do alot of damage!
