His book was a cracking read. Different world was 80’s snooker.
Some of his gambling tales are incredible.

RIP.

You ever read Alex Higgins book? I've not read without I'm told he talks about wild drinking competitions, that's meant to be a good read

Not read Higgins.
Have read Jimmy Whites though and they both went on some epic benders over in Ireland together.
Higgins threatening to get Dennis Taylor killed was mentioned also, and he wasn’t joking !

I've read it. It's not written by Alex though. Someone called bill borrows. Higgins reputation as a hellraiser is more than deserved. It's an unbelievably good read

She spent ages chalking it up for him before helping him sink some balls.

Get in the hole.

Wait a minute that's golf. Ffs.
When a golfer dies I'm using that.
