Alex was a true genius & a maverick. There will never be another like him. His cueing technique & positional game broke all the rules & his energy was all over the place - you could get an anxiety attack just watching him twitching and prowling like a Lion. Even playing John in a friendly, he couldn't help being the same as if it was an Embassy final - total focus but also ruthless in his obsession for always wanting to be at the table brake building.

Alex certainly was a snooker genius - a title that's only ever been applicable to him and Ronnie O'Sullivan. Alex's main problem was his inconsistency - but he would take on pots that no other professional would dare try ...and sink 'em, more often than not. That pink and black (one handed) are two fine examples. Stephen Hendry - great match player that he was - would still be there tryin' to pot those two balls. Ronnie has managed to control his ' madness ' and that's why he's streets ahead of any player in the history of the game. If Alex could have done the same - even for just 5-6 years ..he would have been virtually unbeatable in that period. .

Virgo actually played some nice stuff himself there, he really played at quick pace. But Higgins was unbelievable. I love the excitement he is taking from it, especially at the end.

I love how Virgo puts the colours back on the spot for Alex, and then Alex disappears and doesn't do the same for John. Excellent.

That pink! Never seen that in a tournament. What a player. Alex was the greatest even without the titles.

Incredible Alex, love the part when you say ‘if you visualise it and if you believe in it, you can do all sorts’ your the coolest.

Bewitching brilliance! And Alex called the one-handed black finish before he’d potted the brown!!!

I used to love watching big break back in the 80’s and 90’s with Jim Davidson and John Virgo
