Talking Snooker Episode 126 - John Higgins Special
Manage episode 371168155 series 2903456
Nick and Phil welcome all-time snooker great John Higgins to the podcast for a marquee episode. The four-time world champion speaks to us at length about his incredible life and career in the sport. Among the many topics we cover are: Higgins and his relationships with fellow Class of 92 members Ronnie O'Sullivan and Mark Williams; confrontations with Alex Higgins; turning professional and his early days on tour; his first world title in 1998 and further glory at the Crucible; losing three successive world finals and his future in the game. Plus for the first time, Higgins talks in detail about his ban in 2010 after being set up and secretly recorded by a Sunday newspaper.
We hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as we enjoyed recording it. Your feedback would be much appreciated. And a review of the podcast, especially if you listen via Apple, would be especially welcome. We'll return next time to reflect on this special conversation with Higgins.
