EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Andrew Cowie, we are transported back to the year 1981, where snooker legend Alex Higgins dons his iconic fedora at the Benson and Hedges Masters tournament held in Wembley Conference Centre. With a mischievous glint in his eye and an air of confidence surrounding him, Higgins proudly showcases his lucky hat that would accompany him throughout the thrilling competition. As one of snooker's most charismatic figures, known as "The Hurricane". Higgins mesmerized audiences with his extraordinary talent and unpredictable playing style. This image perfectly captures his larger-than-life persona as he basks in the glory of victory after defeating Terry Griffiths with a scoreline of 9-6. The trademark fedora perched atop Higgins' head becomes more than just an accessory; it symbolizes superstition, luck, and perhaps even a touch of showmanship. It is a visual representation of the enigmatic personality that made him both beloved and controversial within the world of snooker. Andrew Cowie's expertly captured moment freezes time for us to appreciate not only Higgins' triumph but also the indomitable spirit he brought to every game he played. Through this photograph, we witness history being made as Alex Higgins etches himself into snooker folklore once again – forever remembered for his unrivaled skill on the green baize and unforgettable presence beneath that cherished fedora.
