About this product

Product Information

Born on a council estate in Belfast, Alex Higgins left school at 15 At 17 he won the Northern Ireland and All Ireland snooker championships, and turned professional when he was 20. In 1972, aged just 23, he became the youngest person ever to win the World Championship. He repeated this achievement in an emotional final 10 years later, in the process becoming the biggest box-office draw the game has ever known. Alex Higgins was a showman, gambler, comedian, bully, charmer and alcoholic. His antics - and ferocious temper - were legendary yet he was loved by millions. Now, dying of cancer, he has spent everything he has and divides his time between Manchester and Belfast, where he survives by playing #10 snooker matches in pubs. Bill Burrows has had unprecedented access to Higgins and reconstructs vividly the terrifying roller-coaster ride that is his life. Gripping and ultimately, emotionally wrenching, this is an account of one of the most charasmatic and self-destructive figures ever to appear in British sport.

Great seller! Item arrived on time and was well packaged. If I was to have one niggle about this item, it is that, in the description it states that all pages will be free from markings. However, there were pages within this book that had been highlited by the previous owner. Other than that though, I am very satisfied and will definitely buy from this seller again.

Good service, quick delivery. However item was described as "very good" and I would describe it as.. fair (see photos). I guess this is reflected in the price but probably wouldn't have bought in this condition if I'm being honest.
