Very sad images....

[A Place of Light]

Poor Alex Higgins.
Unrecognisable is probably the correct word.
Hopefully he'll make a speedy recovery.

Aye, saw him on TV the other day ::/:

It's such a shame to see a big character looking so ill.

[Feek]

It's a shame, he was on telly during the recent World Championships, he played a game (and lost) but he was barely recognisable. He seems to still have all his marbles but he's just incredibly weak and frail. He looks even weaker now that he did just a few weeks ago.

He's supposedly been in this state for a good few years now, I hope that he manages to get some teeth back and actually start putting some weight back on.

^^ All of this.

He still had the old characteristic Higgins style when playing that frame at the World Championship. Keep still on the shot? Nah - don't need to do any of that. ;D

Brain says it's the slippery slope (been going downhill for years), heart wishes him the best.

Oh my god thats so sad :(

[cheets]

Money he has blown away and now needs charity, sad affair all around.

[NokkonWud]

He's like the none-CGI version of Gollum.

[Feek]

And now he's died... Just announced.

Found dead alone in his flat after the police broke in. So sad :(
