i met him in a bar in belfast and he wouldnt even turn round to say ello,ingorant fucker!! but he could play snooker!!!!

@smtoke ..yes I heard Higgy could often be ignorant to people as I know people thats met him.. to an extent I can understand it as I'm sure many famous people feel like doing the same when people ask for autographs etc.. Higgy was just himself with no back doors and didn't fear the bad press as other famous people would have.... I'm not saying I agree with his attitude though and don't think I would be the same in his situation either......

i thought this video only being 1:30 long it's gonna be missing the end of break with the black

turns out it's only the Hurricane just slotting them in

Alex Higgins back in his day was (and still considered by many) the best player BAR NONE

[postflopper]

his cue action was horrible. stance, horrible. potting ability? bar none.

Ronnie is arrogant, so is Steven Lee, so Is Steven McGuire, so is Hendry, so is Selby.......etc etc etc....it's part of the game, what's different here is the game is part of Alex.

A Genius! The best player ever so far imo, Ronnie a close second.

@smtoke OK i can ASSUME you are a paedophile, i can ASSUME you are a homosexual rapist and i can ASSUME that you are also a renowed chicken fiddler

[smtoke]

@wasianwigger you can assume what ever the fuck you like!! (spelling good enough for you even though its you tube and not a fucking school lesson!!!)

[wasianwigger]

@smtoke ignorant is the wrong word here you complete mongoloid, even if spelt correctly. I assume you mean arrogant? 

[reformedman]

@boy45022 you lift the butt of the cue stick a bit and put a lot of reverse on the cue. When the cue hits the black, it will spin like mad in a 'stun' perpendicular to the tangent plane of the hit until the spin of cue starts to grab the mat and then inertia will start making the cue grab the mat and roll in the reverse direction. In other words, after the cue hits the black, it has more spin than it can handle to roll back right away, it takes time, it goes to its natural stun line

he almost freezed when he saw the cue heading to center pocket ....l o l
