I met Alex a few times many moons ago, playing down at Elite!...In fact i played him in practise a couple of times...i paid of course...and i lost of course...as most people did!....One of the top 5 or 6 snooker players of all time!...Yes he was a Total Prat at times...and at some times, much worse than that, but he was truelly Mercurial around a snooker table..he had charisma and a touch of magic about him, and he brought snooker to a much wider audience than it ever had been before! He will always be talked about as long as snooker is played!...He could almost hold his own with Ollie Reed too!....RIP wee Man!!

Best Regards - Taggy
