Alex "Hurricane" Higgins RIP

[Clive Atton]

Oh no, George Best Belfast City Airport will have to become the 'Alex Higgins/George Best Belfast City Airport'. Let's hope no other p*ssed up old wrecks who live on their past glories snuff it otherwise Belfast will be in permanent shade from all the oversize sign posts they need to fit the names on................


Regards,


Mr Unreasonable.

Alex Higgins was probably one of the most naturally gifted snooker players that ever lived and he brought entertainment to millions of snooker fans. Okay, he had  issues away from the table, but unless you are absolutely 100% perfect in every way, you have little right to criticise the lifestyle of a dead man.

He was the Maradona of snooker .. an awsome audacious and mesmerizing talent.

Errr ................... Maradonna was also a cheat which Alex Higgins certainly was not. Like nearly all snooker players Alex would put his opponent back in if he had thought for one second he had made a foul. Maradonna although a genius footballer is a cheat.

Hmmm.

Unless you are a 100% prefect footballer, you have no right to criticise the performance of the England team in the world cup.
Unless you are a 100% perfect cyclist you have no right to criticise other cyclists misendevours.
Unless you are a 100% perfect driver you have no right to criticise other drivers mistakes.
Unless you are 100% perfect as a parent, you have no right to complain about other peoples kids.
Unless you were 100% perfectly behaved as a child, you have no right to discipline your children for misbehaving.

Sorry, but I don't buy the argument that criticism is unjustified if the critic is not 100% perfect.

I'm talking about his troubled personal life, not his snooker playing.

A real flawed genius - Snookers answer to George Best imo.
