    Very sad, a shadow of his former self but a legend in the field of snooker.

    The only thing that made snooker worth watching in the 70's and 80's. True NI legend RIP

    What a nasty, nasty thing to say, you old troll. Alex died of throat cancer, admittedly probably due to his smoking, but NOT alcoholism, More to the point, he was someone's son, someone's brother and someone's father. Find out the facts before you start slating others.

    RIP Alex and heartfelt thoughts to his family and friends.
