The Man who made Snooker popular to the masses. Without him it wouldn't be the massive success that it has been and continues to be so.
I love how Steve Davis always has good words on Alex ,even though they hated each other back in the day .
Rip Alex thanks for the memories growing up in the 80s 😎👍🙏
Started off in the dark dim jam pot ,and sadly ended in haven of misery which them bookmakers are ,but in-between my god did he give millions of people great pleasure .
The story of the most gifted snooker player ever but also someone who simply could never accept any responsibility. A very sad tale.
Nah,Ronnie is the most gifted but for the first maverick it was Alex…
Thanks for this magnificent presentation for a great man ,that Alex was .
I started following snooker bc of him in the 80s.he wasnt the best player,but surely the most exciting among them all.
Again the nugget giving Alex high praise saying which most of us knew ,that 59 break against jimmy was under such pressure best break ever .
69 break mate.
@@koenhughes9267 yeah thanks for that mate ,not been with it last year lost my mother .
Fair play to jimmy white for sticking by Alex till the end ,even though the hurricane by then had blown out 😢
He fxxxxx up White in the WC IN 92,turned up when White was 14/10 up and got him pissed,should have left another addict alone and thought of his friend rather than trying to steal his glory thinking White had it won…
There should be more interest in this troubled genius!
There was,problem with Higgins he wanted it too much !
None of the top players in the game would be there today if it wasn't for Alex.yet Ronnie o sullivan,Steve davis, many more couldn't be arsed to make it to his funeral. Including louie copeland the famous tailor to the stars.who Alex thought was his friend little did he know.as well as many more people. Fact.
Think he’d burned those bridges long before that they’d all moved on dude…
Read his book,and to be honest he sounds like a real begrudging narcissist,if he had more basic manners he could’ve been in the Matchroom Mob but he couldn’t just behave like a decent human being…
It’s not difficult ffs…
"The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about."- Oscar Wilde
His behavior brought a nation wide audience to snooker and the Matchroom cashed in on his persona and left him out to dry.
If you have read his autobiography as I have, you'll know he never received his prize money for the 1989 Irish Masters which was the last tournament he ever won after 17 years of being a professional, that's gratitude for you.
Yep drunk drunk.wired up pissed up throwing tantrums throwing his toys out of the pram nobody loves me..apart from that he played decent snooker when he wasn't off his head.thats Alex for me.
