“I just love playing snooker. Every single frame is different. Not one ...” — Alex Higgins Quote

“I just love playing snooker. Every single frame is different. Not one referee ever sets the balls up exactly the same.”

“I don't want my kids to live like I do, sweating in a little metal box. I want them to have sunshine. I want them to have light.”

“I think my presence around the table was mesmerising at times. It captured people.”

“My goal is I want to create the 20-20-20 club: 20 sacks, 20 tackles for loss, 20 batted balls.”

“I am faster than other players and I can get to a lot of balls. They have big serves, much power, they can finish points with one or two shots. For me, it's not like that, but I still enjoy matching up to them.”

“You know, I still love the innocent parts of the game. I love hitting tennis balls. I love seeing the young guys do well. I'll still have a lot of friends to watch. I'll miss the relationships probably the most. As time passes, I'll probably miss the tennis more.”
