Alex Higgins who hit the snooker world like the hurricane which became his nickname, was to become the biggest box-office draw the game has ever known. Completely unorthodox, always controversial he was never out of the news, on or off the table. No one had seen anyone like him when he played in the 1972 world championship. He would virtually throw his whole body at the cue ball but could pull off the most amazing shots anyone had seen at that time and people flocked to see him in their thousands whenever he played. Even Jimmy White probably never had quite the drawing power of Alex at his peak.
In the meantime Alex had reached four successive Benson & Hedges Masters finals from 1978 to 1981, winning the first and last of them as well as the 1980 British Gold Cup and three Irish Professional titles. He added a fourth in 1983 and ended that year with a dramatic win in the Coral UK Championship. he was 0-7 down to Steve Davis but won the match 16-15.
