  Having lost so many good friends to cancer over the last few years, I worry about friends who still smoke, but then they're free to make their own choices - and who wants to live free from vice anyway? And, I'm just as likely to peg it from a heart attack, so is it right to worry over something that is almost inevitably a numbers game?
  
  Alex Higgins was one of the greats of a sport that is full of unhealthy lifestyles, and he scaled the heights of greatness along the way. Given that we all have to go some day anyway, isn't it better to have lived the way he did than to have trodden the path of mediocrity? I suspect that Alex Higgins would have been a multi millionaire if he were at the top of the sport today, the fact that he died an alcoholic pauper down to human frailties. Rest In Peace, Hurricane - you were the very best of your kind.
