Alex Higgins has died......

Sad news. The guy was a legend. A genius at the table, albeit a flawed one. I was too young to appreciate him in his prime but there's no doubting the part he played in the sport's popularity in the 80's.

Just heard about this, very sad news indeed. I was also too young to see/remember him but he was a truly great inspiration to the game.
