This video was gas!!!! It's nice to get a behind the scenes look at the life and conversation had between snooker players. John Virgo was the only one who didn't use bad language haha now I know why Jimmy White doesn't do TV commentary on matches 😃😃😃😃

[@unclequack5445]

John was like, what have I got myself into? Alex looked 1/2 dead here.

[@m.s.gtarot6997]

I have watched this episode , it has me in bits, with laughter, so witty, best I have EVER seen, looks like another day watching it, OVER & OVER AGAIN, ps GB, ALEXANDRA THE GREAT....

[@humanforfreedom9583]

“He’s a spy” lol gotta love Alex

[@andynlisahun]

dont half miss Alex.... say whatever you want but what a character.... he came to our house in Oswaldtwistle with his manager at the time Denis Broderick when I was about 9 years old in 1971/2 just before he won his first world title and Ive been smitten ever since....

[@humanforfreedom9583]

Paul Gallagher I’m a republican but it’s stupid to make out only loyalists supported Alex and no catholics. Yes he was a Protestant but he didn’t have much good to say about the British establishment either. He transcends all that sectarian nonsense.

[@DrumsTheWord]

Fascinating. Thank you uploading!

[@Emmet21982]

The guy at 10:45 is like, "That taxi is full of snooker nuts and their all pissed lol

[@Emmet21982]

TELE6220 Congratulations. You must of went to school

[@chrislongley]

Great being a fly on the wall with such legends

[@sherbert500]

very sad seeing alex at the end but also seeing the man fight was awesome, I saw him at Bristol still playing and winning money off of the punters not long before he passed, smoking a joint with a half of Guinness and a vodka and orange all going for him.......

[@phildean3700]

Genius ...no more to be said..

[@COLEEN322]

Another classic and the person responsible for truly putting snooker on the map was no other than Alex Higgins. One of the few players who could keep you on the very edge of your seat, the original anti hero, the peoples champion and the without a doubt the most talented snooker player ever seen, rip Alex.

[@drover110]

I absolutely worshipped Alex when I was a lad- this is great footage but very painful for those of us who grew up loving the Huirricaine. Jimmy seems a real genuine lad as well mind. Great people.AS an aside- John virgo opened up the lcoal leasure centre around mine in about 1986/7 and the ex brother in law beat him 2-1- he wasn't happy I can tell you. r.ip. The Hurricaine.

[@JamesCarmichael]

WHERE'S THE TAXI GOIN!

[@underneonloneliness2]

Alex Higgins organs must of been struggling in that video. His heart would of been beating twice as fast, his liver was battered, his throat was shrivelled up and destroyed, and his whole body was weak

[@hayleycomet632]

Apart from that he was ok

[@dan32113]

The Spirit is stronger than the body

[@welshjohn]

Higgins and jimmy legends jimmy il see u in Pattaya soon mukka

[@danielgrant3323]

Bunch of crooners! That was great

[@thomassmith2227]

I'm drunk just watching this 🤪

[@stephenmcphail9758]

Higgins was a geeza,top guy

[@languageoffootball]

Paul Gallagher how did that manifest itself? In Manchester he’s mixed and played snooker with Catholics all the time without issue and always let on to people when he was well.

[@neil2905]

if that taxi blew up, organised crime in london would have plummeted over night.

[@stevehigton5167]

papa smurf .... yeah, I think it’s £1 per mile or summert, at least that was what the cab driver was charging too, it’s no wonder the 5mil bankroll disappeared with the expenses that would mount up at that rate ??? !!!!! what a KUNT one of those are in the back..... S.H Manchester

[@wombra8314]

papa smurf 😂😂😂😂😂🤦🏻‍♀️

[@robertbrown8362]

Its funny they talking over each other

[@dan32113]

John went out for Pint of milk, bumps into Alex & Jim. Okay just a quick Pint. 5hours later in a Cab to strip club.

[@davidtaylor4860]

When we had characters in this country

[@hayleycomet632]

John Virgo loves Henry weston.

[@timokautto7349]

Sad to see Alex Higgins so sick - he looks to be in great pain.

[@Csads]

Thanks To WPSA WIll Thorne Got Bankrupt twice suicide attempt// Karma

[@bunkerboy-hf4xh]

Kev's the main man.

[@TheMimetolithman]

last night i was liking the147 time, 2day it is a ton ya

[@dannyflint5746]

John virgo is like WTF am i doing here 😅

[@humanforfreedom9583]

God bless Alex. He literally looks like he’s just been released from one of Stalin’s gulags and is still going out for a night out! What a legend. RIP.

[@littlefish1167]

That's the longest I've seen that Kevin behaved himself and you can tell he got on John's nerves

[@markwestwood9730]

What I would have done to be in that London Cab. I'm guessing it must have been late 2009 early 2010.

[@markwestwood9730]

+montgomery15 You're not wrong, I'd have given my left eye to have been with those absolute legends sitting there just listening to their stories. Amazing.

[@martygroves4865]

I am in bits at alex, trying to spell, god bless him, GBNF, R.I.P ALEX......

[@littlefish1167]

life can be so cruel to be ill like Alex then your sharing a cab with horrible Kevin

[@BroskiRIP]

Alex Higgins sounded a tad like Johnny Vegas here.

[@eltonjohntributedeantorkin197]

played jimmy and nearly beat him!

[@languageoffootball]

Elton John Tribute Dean Torkington you could have been a contender...

[@opollo]

I hope they havent got a pool and snooker tables upstairs, cos Alex would of hustled god out of everything even the pearly gates 👍

[@rockhudson6984]

He's not going upstairs that's for sure

[@LiamJLFoster]

The bit that made me sad is Alex Higgins saying “Driver, would you open the window?” then saying “Perfect, sweet”. His voice sounds unrecognisable.

[@theamericanimmigrant201]

poor alex its like watching alive corpse...its so sad.

[@unclequack5445]

Yeah so sad but he did look like a corpse , once again Alex was cutting a pathetic figure.

[@humanforfreedom9583]

And still going out on the piss. Heart of a lion:

[@tonyfinnegan2972]

[@edinsoncavani2160]

Nobody cared about alex when he was done
