EDITORS COMMENTS
In this iconic print captured by Stewart Fraser, the legendary snooker player Alex Higgins is seen taking a momentary pause during the 1987 Embassy World Snooker Championship. The image showcases Higgins in his element, with a cigarette delicately held between his fingers as he contemplates his next move on the green baize. Known for his exceptional talent and fiery personality, Higgins was one of snooker's most captivating figures. His unorthodox playing style combined with an unmatched flair made him a fan favorite and earned him the nickname "Hurricane". However, it was also well-known that cigarettes were an inseparable part of Higgins' routine during matches. The photograph captures not only Higgins' love for snooker but also provides a glimpse into the atmosphere at Sheffield's Crucible Theatre – the home of World Snooker Championships since 1977. The dimly lit arena creates an intimate setting where every puff exudes both tension and determination. Fraser's skillful composition freezes this fleeting moment in time, encapsulating not just a mere act of smoking but rather capturing an essence of what made Alex Higgins such an enigmatic figure within the world of snooker. It serves as a reminder of how even seemingly insignificant details can contribute to shaping someone's legacy and leave an indelible mark on their sport.
