Sporting Witness - Alex Higgins: The rock star snooker legend
Download Alex Higgins: The rock star snooker legend
Alex Higgins was the two-times World Snooker champion from Northern Ireland whose speedy style of play helped turn the game into a must-watch sport.
But, away from the table, he was a wild boy – whose gambling, drinking and womanising eventually led to his downfall.
He died in 2010 at the age of 61.
Producer Vicky Farncombe uses archive interviews to tell the story of Alex ‘Hurricane’ Higgins in his own words.
