I remember being in a bar down in Killarney for an amateur snooker tournament and Alex walked in and the whole room goes quiet. Some guy was playing a piano so Alex starts playing random keys and its a funny atmosphere. Anyway some wag starts a sing-song with that tune with the line "Living next door to Alex" and everyone starts laughing and the mood lightens. I have never seen anyone with such intensity and electricity and this was only a few years ago. It must have been something to be on the receiving end on a snooker table and all the crowd behind him like at Wembley. RIP Alex.

a few years ago he walked into the snooker club i used to go to a lot and played a few of the clubs best players for money, we're going back about 4 or 5 years here but even then he was kicking everyones ass and these were guys who have made 100+ breaks.

will have to pop by to see the funeral tomorrow.
