Terrible for him :(
-
Grim. I wish I hadn't seen it. :(
-
Another reason to not start smoking again - very sad :o
-
Sad in so many ways. Health aside, that he went from being a millionaire to not being able to scrape together 20 grand for something that would ease his suffering. :(

Not convinced - mate of mine only has a few teeth but copes

if you believe the health nazi's its indirectly related due to "radiotherapy while battling throat cancer" as the article does not explicitly link his smoking with throat cancer.
however, as a smoker you DO know that every time you smoke baby jesus cries :o :o :o

When was that the 60's?! ;D ;D Spain has ramped up the tax on tobacco and introduced rules to make it hard for people to buy too many at once.

Next time you go bring me a couple of thousand Sobranie black russians back. Smoothest cigarette I've ever had the pleasure of!

OMG poor bloke

That's tragic. I was an avid watcher of his game on telly.
I'm pleased that some of his old opponents have been chipping-in to help.

He was due to appear in Derby last night, playing snooker at the assembly rooms.
Saw him at the crucible in Sheffield on tv, unrecognisable.
My favorite player from the 70's, world champion 1972 and again 1982.

Sad to see him like that. Remember him from the 70`s and 80`s when i played snooker for a local club in a league. We used to get some of the big names down at the club to play exhibition matches. Saw Steve Davis ( not at all dour, one of the best sense of humours going at the time.) Ray Reardon, Cliff Thorburn, John Virgo, Terry Grifiths and Alex Higgins. Most of the other stars just played 3 frames against the top local players, then a few trick shots and then they were off. Will allways remember Alex playing on afterwards until he had made a hundred plus break. If i remember correctly i think he played around 12 frames that night. He stayed behind afterwards and spent time talking to club members and signed autographs. My mate grew up with him in Belfast and they had a good `ol chat about thier days playing in snooker clubs over there. Eventually we left the club and i was asked to give him a lift to a local nightclub (Caesers Palace ) with my mate. We dropped off his cue at the local hotel room where he was staying and went to the nightclub. He was a bit of a loose cannon but allways had time for his fans. :y
