Alex Higgins I`ll have a lager

[anil2]

he look smashed lol

[nath909]

Poor goody good Davis must have been shitting himself, having a unpredictable alcoholic hanging around him with a snooker cue in his hand.

[saky08]

the key to snooker.. get pissed and play and you'll be successful!

[26wordy]

He must have been sozzled by the end, Davis must have thought the longer I can drag this out the more pissed he'll be but unfortunately for Davis he played often better smashed.

[fluffycheep]

Oh god all the bitching. Stop.  Enjoy!

[KILONLINTU]

R.I.P.

[kevgeezer2k7]

u need a scart lead to dvd recorder

[Hitmanfan91]

Perfect timing isn't it. Davis takes a sip of water just as Higgins finishes neckin a lager.

[zenitius]

The only reason higgins was so popular was because he was a snooker player and livened and popularised the sport. If he wasnt a snooker player he was just an asshole.

[adamh0075]

@zenitius don't speak ill of the dead asshole.

[pikewerfer]

@zenitius Sounds like someone without character who is envying someone with lots of character.

[zenitius]

@pikewerfer

so being drunk is having character? ok i am characterless then.

[maximisatwat]

@zenitius if everyone played drunk he'd have played sober, yu tool. he was different thats what gives him character - go and live in the real world. yeh, youre characterless

[piecomol]

@zenitius Clear case of you being jealous about a very charismatic person who was loved by the people. I know exactly how to describe you: small dick, pathetic, bourgeois, narrow minded, wanker.

[zenitius]

@piecomol

jealous? of what? he played snooker. its a game.

[mAnclTy]

hahahaha he could be drunk and still win xD

[Archiesquaddy]

Alex won this match, didnt he?  Wasnt Davies up 7-0 and then Alex came back and attacked his play with vegence and won?? LEGEND. Even more amazing when you consider Alex was half cut on lager and Davies was on the mineral water.

[Spankki]

@Archiesquaddy Well, considering his nerves, I think it would've been amazing if he wasn't half cut on lager, and still won.

[ThunderRoadster13]

R.I.P., Hurricane.



[jackmanorishe]

@beechmountbhoy I didn't like him and u didn't know him. He did this money thing as a joke in fact he did it 2 me but I jus bought him a pint listen I nearly new him but see these Ppl commenting after his death is a bit ott he did bad things yes but 2 none of u

[jackmanorishe]

@Davidnire he was my second cousin and I know his religion was protestant but dat don't mean he is no nationlist u no what I mean

[angryman9]

Do not be so bitter.

Higgins was'nt perfect, nobody is, but he gave pleasure to a lot of snooker fans.

I did not like him, but for all his many faults, he was one of the greatest players ever to pick up a cue.

[CRUYFFEFC]

@angryman9 so how can u dislike him if u never knew him,plus give him accolades

[angryman9]

I DISLIKED HIM FOR HIS UNSPORTING ATTITUDE AND VIOLENCE TOWARDS OTHERS.

SINCE WHEN DO YOU HAVE TO KNOW SOMEONE TO DISLIKE THEM MEATHEAD.

AND HE WAS A GREAT PLAYER.

[KoivuTheHab]

@angryman9 Since when do you have to write in caps? Lay off the lager and calm down kid.

[angryman9]

@KoivuTheHab

Bit late for a reply is'nt it dumbo?

Mind your own business.

[KoivuTheHab]

@angryman9 Oh is that so? I take it you have matured a lot during the past two months then!

[beechmountbhoy]

mayb dont know but alex higgins has spent the last ten years sitting in bars in belfast cheaging a tnner a time for an autograph even to little kids who idolised him, what a fuking rat

[paddy330]

my god people have some respect we all have done things in are lifes that were not proud of just let the man rip....alex higgins sadly missed...

[theyorkshirewhites]

I hate watching snooker, never watched it on tv, except when this man was on,

I could watch him for hours..people like steve davis and terry griffiths used to send me to sleep for hours.

BTW, just heard..Alex did not die, he just went for a " long rest "

[jackmanorishe]

He is my 2nd cousin rip

[beechmountbhoy]

@jackmanorishe wow u must be so proud and alcoholic gambler who bashed women was an ignorant cunt and hated in belfast, would only sign an autograph if u gave him money. what a hero

[angryman9]

@beechmountbhoy

Not as ignorant a cunt as you sunshine.

What have you ever done?

Answers on a pinhead please.

[beechmountbhoy]

@angryman9 iv went to work every day, didnt beat my partner brought my kids up with decency and been pleasant to people iv met, more than this scumbag who died a lonely scumbag

[davesmith20092009]

irish



[cornel11111]

rip alex higgins

[TheJmlwb]

Bitter and twisted people posting ignorant comments about Mr. Higgins, if you dont like him or snoooker then why are you wasting your time watching and posting comments?, show some dignity and go entertain yourself elsewhere.

[rossm21uk]

haha i'l have a lager,respect

[TheBadbhoy]

RIP, sectarian alco and woman beater, plenty like you on sandy row

[UCPBandrew]

@TheBadbhoy you a funny little faggot arent ye?

[manctilldead]

RIP YOU LEGE

[thurstons]

RIP Alex. The long red here is really outrageous!

[jonny7373blue]

R.I.P. Legend.

[PermT]

RIP

[jackmanorishe]

He is not an Irish cunt nor a northern Irish Legend he is an Irish Legend cause as far as I or Higgins is concerned there is no such nationality as northern Irish. It is one island and that is the brits way to cling onto it as a place of their own

[davidnire]

@jackmanorishe No such nationality? Higgins was a Prod from south Belfast ya tit, the bitterness is hanging right out of ye!

[MrPaddyw]

@davidnire ur a tit

[MrPaddyw]

@jackmanorishe true

[Panthera0nca]

He looks totally wankered when mouthing his order for a lager!

[RedNeckRoger]

now days he asks for a straw and some baby food ...irish cunt.

[PiWizard1]

@RedNeckRoger, He's not an irish Cunt, he's a Northern Irish Legend you fucking twat. He's one of the best players from the 80's.

[RedNeckRoger]

@PiWizard1 Like Adam and the Ants you mean? Fuck off bitch this cunt is less that dog shit and needs a kick in the balls. I would slap the twat all over the table if he even spoke to me. sick or not he's a cunt and you know it so don't fuck with me you soft bitch.

[PiWizard1]

@RedNeckRoger, His attitude and behaviour obv sucked. Arguing with the refs all the time, but his skill was extraordinary. Simple as that. If you asked everyone who's seen Higgins play on tv or in person and u asked them to vote for either mine and your Points of Views for which 1 is right, obv my opinion will receive more votes :)

[RedNeckRoger]

@PiWizard1 is that so bitch...i beg to differ with you so shut the fuck up.

[PiWizard1]

@RedNeckRoger yes, that is so ... after looking at your history of comments, you've been racist to so many vids on YouTube. The most racist person here! RedNeck dickhead. No offence to any other rednecks out there. and You say you like all races?:L what a joke haha!

[zoody123]

@PiWizard1 Higgins a flawed genius in the truest sense. They all have their vices, and it is in part why they are remembered so fondly.

[angryman9]

@RedNeckRoger

Pig Ignorant, uneducated, thick, foul mouthed scum like you, should be banned from this site.

if all I could spew out of my mouth was shit,I would keep it shut.

[Hafthohlladung]

The way he played that positional shot on the blue, you just don't see it much anymore. Most modern players would go for top spin around the angles.

[NOJ888]

Goin to see alex at telford international centre in may, allways wanted to meet him, booked vip tickets just because of him, he's a legend, the best snooker player and personality the game has ever had.

[StevieJ72]

"I'll have a lager"

"yes, alex, certainly, and the usual chaser? **** it - take the bottle, go on give him a bit of a chance!"

"give him a chance?! i've already given him a seven frame start!"

"don't worry, you'll beat him - if you can still find your way to the table!"

.......and so, that's how it was (sort of) in the glory days of snooker

[ELONut]

damn this guy was GREAT!

[BlueOrderRedMarauder]

Davis supping that water with the look of "Oh, shit" on his face. Classic!

[BoonyBanny]

Steve Davis the tory twat, not one tenth of the flawed maverick genius Higgins was.

[davidgeorge31]

@BoonyBanny Oh quiet. I stand neutral. I admire both the talents of Davis and Higgins but, quite frankly, if there's any 'twat', it's clearly you for being so judgemental. Get a life and stop talking out of your arse.

[lostinbass4]

the 1st red! taps the table appreciating the break off, then bangs the butt of his cue then gets down and sledgehammers the red home.

class

[fakelegache]

genius. higgins was 7-0 down in this match, has a lager, pulls himself together and hammers the ginger nut. bravo!

[calvers72]

7-1 down half pissed and still came back and beat the nugget. Only Alex Higgins could have done that at the time. Amazing player who was mesmerizing to watch be good bad and ugly. There will only ever be one Hurricane Higgins!!

[belfastblitz]

i see higgy most days, its hard to believe that he was one of the greatest snooker players about. he did his wee country proud!

[cutterschoicenotmine]

is that in a care home? I saw him on weakest link over christmas and he could barely talk.

[rchris36]

Haha yep no alcohol was allowed during a game. I guess Jocky Wilson wouldn't have won the world snooker championship then!

[rchris36]

Snooker faded in the mid 90s, Higgins disappeared from tv at around this time. The two events are definitely related.

[dermydoot]

just after readin his book its a sad endin for a legand

[irishrover1967]

i think in this game when he won the world championship he drank 10 pints of lager lol no bullshit

[telblackwell1980]

like most great`s the beer took over.. best, higgins, moon, cobain, henrix..... the list goes on and on

[briky71]

dont forget kieth chegwin

[all6inthelast]

curly watts drank even more

[deepsea83]

best about it is he still drinks down in bangor and if u ask him he`l gladly play u for a FIVER!!

[alfriendo2008]

Alex Higgins= 100% Rock n Roll.

[mistofoles]

I din't think the players were allowed to drink alcohol during the game!

[openbath]

They don't make em like that anymore do they

[FOXSTOTT]

Alex on lager, Davis on mineral water. That says it all really...

[JoeUk123]

that first red was astonishing

[McElhinney65]

White, O'Sullivan, Drago, they're great potters but for sheer amazing single ball potting no one lives with Alex. Okay I know he missed his fair share in later years. But when he potted those long reds you couldn't see what happened. It was mesmerising. If you disagree search youtube for Alex Higgins and look at some of his long potting. The red has slammed into the back of the pocket before you know what is going on.

[jfk144]

How good was he, at his best a match for anyone including osullivan, hendry, davis anyone who ever played snooker, oh and he won this match 16-15 with loads of lagers, go on the hurricane..

[robbieonguitar]

I don't think he could compete with a 90's era Hendry.

Great player however, that goes without saying.

[Visonu]

Alex Higgins is an idiot

[Scottukuk]

No he isn't he's a legend

[saraj12]

legend.

[jpjames1]

he was great ppl forget how good he was

[squidinkUK]

Would be great to make a proper video conversion of this!

[sharpy2010]

Seems to fluke most of his shots, our higgins.

[danielhewson]

Brilliant, love it.
