I see Alex Higgins the snooker player laid to rest today. He was caught drunk driving 7 times and never faced prison. He was crude to women, nasty to children, brutal to partners and an out and out thug. I watched him ten years ago at an exhibition match. He told two girls sitting with children "If I pot this will you both do a double header on me" He came back from the toilets with his zip undone and told a lovely young girl to pull it up for him. Another Irish drunk who could not handle fame.
