Does anyone know who sings THE HURRICANE” ive been looking for it for ages.
Great memories. Snooker would never have been on TV if it wasn’t for this genius. In a world full of robots people like Higgins make life worth living. That was entertainment.
i had the fortune to bump into this pup:)?
He is OK when he is on top, but he treats most people discracefully and was totally unreliable, and deserved a good whack.
He was the best and thats it… dont watch snooker these days! It just hasnt the same buzz.
Explained by how he was that is
