There was once a player called Alex Higgins, "The Hurricane", the "Peoples Champ" , when he was at the table you took note. You cared, here was a man who played the game like you'd do in your dreams, and played it like it should......pot the fucking ball and no fucking around, in you go - กีฬา

Alex is the reason that we are here in 2022 watching it on TH-cam
Alex Higgins my hero forever!!!!
Alex Higgins - the most influential snooker player since Davis!
RIP the legend that is The Hurricane.
Since Davis? Might want to check your dates.
@@littlehorhey5285 I think he must mean Joe Davis
Since David he was before Davis
Name of the song:
Georgie Fame- The hurricane (1982)
Darío YSV tks
Even now 40 years later and your still thinking he will miss !!
Alex in his prime could beat anyone blindfolded and drunk as a skunk. The greatest of all time.
I know we have Ronnie O'Sullivan & judd trump but we do miss genius of Alex, the hurricane blows no more but the legend lives on ❤
The last clear up is probably the best I've ever seen..absolute legend
Well he made it look so hard cause he ran out of pos. all the time. Would be a very easy task for legend R O'S.
I could thank you a million times Alex but it could never be enough !!
Alex was THE man, end of.
The blue against Jimmy IS the greatest shot in the history of snooker
It's a good one alright
There will never be another. Genius player.
Yep. Snooker today.... wouldn't even watch it
I grew up watching Alex. He was a star amongst the stars. Such a magnificent player
Yes, his unpredictable play made him box office....do you watch snooker these days? I dont
@@thisdrinkinglife No not really, just like to watch the pro's from the days gone by, on you tube
That first shot was pure Alex Higgins. magic. Man, I miss the hurricane.
yeah, we all do
Rest easy Alex
Alex's safety game was brilliant,he could read a snooker table like a chess player...his exhibition snooker in games was mind boggling to say the least !! Could you imagine if he was disciplined then the mind definitely boggles
Steve Davis himself said Alex had the best safety game of all. Can’t argue with the Nugget!
"TRUE LEGEND" Sir Higgin
“He’s got a lot of courage, has Alex”
Love that line ❤
classic alright
Alex Higgins the greatest always in my mind
Got into snooker at the back end of his Career!, I love Jimmy White & Ronnie O'Sullivan but Alex was the True original People's Champion!, I think him & Steve Davis made it Box Office!, R.I .P. legend!.
Never been a break like the one against Jimmy White in the semi that time. My hero was Alex Higgins as a kid. Hard to believe anyone says that about snooker players these days.
Would like to see extended highlights of the Alex/Jimmy doubles final v the boring twins. Sure the best side won I think.
I hear ya..................no more heroes anymore......eh?
Its his game,
And his name,
IS THE HURRICANE,
Potting balls,
And they found him,
ON THE COOOCAAAINNEEE...
Legend!
Alex won i be in tears, Alex lost i was worse i couldn't sleep for days !! 2022 and The Man still gives me chills !!
tx for your comments H
@@thisdrinkinglife course
Such a great player he is
yep
back when snooker had characters, likeable characters
you said it..........
Thisdrinkinglife.com now it's just boring arselickers with no persona at all
yeah agree...................should be like the darts which is great to watch and i imagine fun to be at
Prob because snooker is regarded as a gentleman's game
Charles Ainscough was great then but Williams is a great champ with bags of personality
His long shoot pot is really amazing
And the reason is people in general were more out going then...and grew up in a pre Thatcher britain
And a pre-Blair one.
the king
If there's a man that could beat Ronnie at he's best it's alex
jimmy was just zoomed out
Poor Jimmy, he said on James English tube that he thought he hid it well, ha ha
Not the greatest ever but easily the MOST entertaining to watch.
Nobody like him anywhere,...the greatest ever,...cud play shots no one else wud think of,...made the game of snooker,...everyone else benefitted from it except him
exactly Kev, at least he got the adulation from the fans and in a way that was enough for Alex
If only Alex was managed better and could handle his fame and fortune he may have won more titles but will always be one of the greats regardless! RIP Alex!
you said it man
Brilliant video !😀
tx Brian
Which song is this?
What song?
Tony Ashton comes to mind
He was great to watch The hurricane and wee Dennis too 👓
those were the days, wont see them again...................
@@thisdrinkinglife what is it about sports now, I personally can't stand it now but loved it back then.
@@georgeohwell8481 society in general, no personalities in anything..........sport, music, politics, literature and art, tv..............everything is so soulless and bland......
@@thisdrinkinglife so right big guy, that's how I feel too, you know I just realised that I've watched this video before,just shows ye😉
@@georgeohwell8481 lol, yeah i sometimes do that too...............fuck tv we have to make our own media, cheers
You deserved that Guinness Alex😎
and not just the one im sure......................
@@thisdrinkinglife you can bet on it, but could he play, takes me back watching this again,and wee Dennis as well, ahh good times
@@georgeohwell8481 yeap, i cant watch the game these days, apart from ronnie its so fucking dull both on and off the table
Sir Alex Higgins end of, why we all watch snooker
You said it Tom, exactly
What is this song called
Georgie Fame- The hurricane (1982)
Snooker GENIUS
yep
alex was a great player.my ma said so
always listen to your ma!
Can I highlight something? As the black goes in along the rail, Davis gives a very assertive facial reaction, as if to attempt to own the moment...
Davis always kind of gave odd looks............
Song in video irritated lot .
why played on loop?
Some like, some didn't, was a filler, I didn't go with BBC audio as I didn't want to get a copyright strike, cheers
Lol smoking cigs & drinking pints on tv
thats fuck all lol he was a serious drug user as well as an alcoholic. ended up dying broke and frail an old homeless alcoholic. what a shame for he had it all.
69 in 82 !!
Im sorry to anyone thinks that steve davis is better cuz thats bs, watching alex miss is far more entertaining than steve davis potting, the greatest player of all time, he was the one who popularized snooker in the late 70s and early 80s
YEP. it depends on your character - if you are someone who likes to live on the edge and enjoy the good life - then Alex was and is the man - if you are a boring square cunt then Davis suits..... although he has mellowed out a lot in his old age!
higgy was def sniffing the coke here lol some player but
dont know, he got into it in the later years for sure, Jim was a big coke head though, him and Kirk Stevens, the time they were coked out of their brains in the irish open. White won it that year (1986) so just goes to show.............lol
Higgins and white playing pool vs the Americans.....love it 🤣......so good! Snooker players can play pool, but pool players have 0 chance against snooker players! Fact
You said it David, a bad snooker player can beat a good pool player..........
Alex Higgins was the only interesting and accomplished player on the TV in my day. Boring Davies played all the safety shots and wore players down and lost audiences galore but Higgins was an entertainer par excellence. Shame he was taken in by the sponsors who shamelessly abused him. To me he is an all time great bar none.
see Davis the other day having a go at Ronnie, always sticks up for his old pal Hearn
Thisdrinkinglife lol you’ve deleted your comments! Hahahahahahaha!!!
@@leedaltez of course i have u were acting the bollix
@Bolt electric⚡️ Yeah but tbh it was mostly people looking to see if Taylor could do it against Davis, would you not agree?
Please please please get rid of the song and have the original commentary. Great video what a legend he was!
couldnt get some of the commentary and/or bad audio, sorry
@@thisdrinkinglife Love the music :)
@@Battlegroundinho thanks, you are in the minority there though, lol
What song
can´t you make the video without that silly song, please?
just mute it
loco the song is about Alex.
4 years later Fuck you that makes the video even class THE HURRICANE
The track that keeps repeating is a bit annoying , but some great shots .
Yeah I know, but it was a filler........
Shut the
Music off
are you disabled, no hands or cant figure out the mute button?
I got the 693 like.I am the 9 ball I kicked the wing mirrors off his ex wife's car !!!........ssssh don't tell anyone.....its tesla vortex maths around the angels
Great player terrible song
