NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
John Higgins shares greatness, longevity and legendary status with his fellow Class of 92 members, but he does not necessarily shares opinions with them on snooker.
Higgins heads to the UK Championship this weekend for the 28th consecutive season, hoping to lift the title for a fourth time, what would be a first since 2010.
Despite now being well into their forties, Higgins, Ronnie O’Sullivan and Mark Williams are still among the favourites for the title, with the Rocket out in front of everybody with the bookmakers.
O’Sullivan and Higgins has a memorable conversation at the Northern Ireland Open recently about why we are not seeing more young players succeed on the baize in the modern game, with the world champion surprised and baffled that youngsters are not sending the old guard into retirement.
