Alex " The Hurricane " Higgins Signed Green Baize

He turned professional at the age of 22, winning the World Snooker Championship at his first attempt in 1972 against John Spencer. The match was won with a 37-32 scoreline.
Higgins, at 22, was the youngest winner of the title until Stephen Hendry's 1990 victory at the age of 21.

He once again reached the final, in April 1976, only to face one of the most successful players of that era, Ray Reardon. Higgins led 11-9 but Reardon made four centuries and seven breaks over 60 to pull away and win the title for the fifth time. The Belfast man conceded the match when Reardon was leading by 27-16.

Higgins was also runner-up to Cliff Thorburn in 1980, when looking strong favourite to win at 9-5 up before losing narrowly 18-16. However, he won his second title in 1982 after beating Reardon 18-15 (with a 135 total clearance in the final frame); it was an emotional as well as professional victory for him. He would have been ranked #1 in the world rankings for the 1982/83 season but for the forfeit of ranking points following disciplinary action.
