This week, we look at a a man who played a sport that we didn't know existed. He ended up being the guy to take the sport of snooker from a stuffy, not televised bore, into a televised, slightly less boring event! He was a colorful, charismatic player who was the Happy Gilmore of snooker. He also smoked 4 packs a day, punched refs, threw plates at spectators, beat his girlfriend with a hairdryer, and committed "the slowest suicide in sports history"!!

Start hanging out in dive bars at age 10, bring some life to a stuffy sport, and destroy your relationships, career, future, financial well being & health with Alex "The Hurricane" Higgins!!

Check us out, every Tuesday!

We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!!
