Alex Higgins

From ARFOPEDIA

Among the complaints dismissed was one by Ian Doyle, Stephen Hendry' manager, that Higgins had used gratuitously foul and abusive language to him about Hendry and one from Hendry himself, who complained of remarks Higgins made to him after their match in he 1991 UK championship.

There was certainly a striking difference of recollection about what Higgins had said after Hendry had completed his 9-2 victory. Higgins remembered his remark as: 'Well done, Stephen, you were a little bit lucky.' Hendry heard this as: 'Up your arse, you cunt.'

A late night fracas at the Pymgate ended with the police arresting Higgins as he cried: 'I'm a British spy. You can't do this to me.'
