Tomb raider 9 Posted May 3, 2010 A website has been launched, seeking donations to save the life of Alex Higgins, the sickest looking man on Earth. www.savealexhiggins.co.uk I'm a huge snooker fan, and Higgins was certainly one of the great characters in the game, but there's no f**king way I'd donate anything over a nickel to this arrogant, self-destructive, brainless excuse for a human being. [sits down and hopefully awaits the upcoming ranters...] 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rotten Ali 600 Posted May 19, 2010 Some more recent pictures here: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/artic...cer-battle.html Looks like he died 3 months ago... Those photos are really shocking. Flip side - if he goes in for the operations the anathetic may finish him off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Those photos are really shocking. Flip side - if he goes in for the operations the anathetic may finish him off. Too sick at the moment.

themaninblack 2,112 Posted July 24, 2010 Alex Higgins dead at 61. Just beat me to it. Sad but inevitable. For all his faults (and there were many), he still remains one of my sporting heroes... RIP Alex... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DevonDeathTrip 2,358 Posted July 24, 2010 This is very sad news, but Alex Higgins did remarkably well to reach his sixties, he must have been an inspiration to chronic and unrepentant alchoholics everywhere. I personally think he was cruelly overlooked for an MBE in recent years. Everyone knew he was dying and, despite his many, many flaws, he deserved some sort of official recognition for what he had achieved. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,646 Posted September 24, 2010 Given the red-top's interest in all things John Higgins of late, the death of his dad is quite likely to merit enough of a mention to score DDP points........just sayin', like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Windsor 2,233 Posted December 13, 2010 John Higgins Snr, father of John Higgins Jnr is dying of cancer...his treatment is no longer working.
