I was wondering. Now he's dead, does the Hurricane nickname go with him or can it be recycled to be used as a weather-based nickname for a living snooker player? There aren't that many which are any good, after all...

Most of todays's top players would have beaten Alex Higgins more often than not. The game has moved on.

This thread is duplicating another to some degree.

Not wishing to be picky, but I think you'll find it's the other thread duplicating this one actually.
