I would like to remind everyone that on Wednesday 1st September 2010 there will be a documentary celebrating the life of the 1972 & 1982 World snooker Champion Alex "Hurricane" Higgins at 9pm on BBC 2. I had the pleasure of meeting Alex at the Dome in Doncaster in 2008, through our mutual friend Jimmy White, Alex didn't want to go back to the hotel so Alex was going to come back to my house with me and my sister, until he saw we had a Nissan Prairie and he said "I'm not f*****g getting in that!" It was a very funny moment, and I will always treasure the photograph and memories of that night in Doncaster. Like many people I was inspired to play the game by Jimmy, and then when I saw old footage of "the Hurricane" he was just something else, Without Alex, there would be no Jimmy White or Ronnie O'Sullivan, or maybe even snooker as we know it. So thanks for the pleasure you have given us all Alex.
