Описание к видео Alex 'Hurricane' Higgins Gone Not Forgotten Carnmoney Cemetery Belfast

Apology
Oh dear what a blunderer I am.
Alex Higgins was 61 when he died and not 51 as I stated!
Aaaaaaaah!
What was I thinking of?

Today I'm up in Carnmoney Cemetery in north Belfast. I'm up to visit the grave of Belfast born snooker legend Alex 'Hurricane' Higgins.

Alexander Gordon Higgins (18 March 1949 – 24 July 2010) born in Abingdon Drive, off Sandy Row, was a genius Northern Irish professional snooker player and a two-time world champion. He is fondly remembered as one of the most iconic figures in the sport's history. Nicknamed "Hurricane Higgins" for his rapid play, and known as the "People's Champion" for his popularity and charisma, he is often credited as a key factor in snooker's success as a mainstream televised sport in the 1980s.

He is buried in Carnmoney cemetery.
He is gone but not forgotten.
