Glossary entry for
Higgins, Alex
Alex "Hurricane" Higgins was a professional snooker player from Northern
Ireland in the seventies and early eighties. He was very popular on
television, and earned his nickname from the speed with which he was able
to put the balls in the pocket during a game. However, like Georgie Best,
he had a drinking problem and a bit of a temper, and this lack of
self-discipline probably shortened his career.
