Can only imagine the cabbie was giving him unnecessary stick. Would love to have been a fly on the dashboard.
We've only heard one side of the story. Most likely they can both share the blame.

Almost certainly. Why wasn't Higgins allowed to sing in the cab? Was he disturbing anyone? Well apart from the driver of course but isn't taking drunken passengers par for the course?

Course they can. That's why the cabbie has gone to the papers about a £5 fare.

Or maybe Higgins has just been a idiot.

I find the "you're getting buck all from me" remark a stetch, Higgins had just woken up in a drunken state, the cab driver could've told the press whatever he wanted and John wouldn't have remembered.

He could have said "Sorry mate, I've got no cash on me", or "Hang on, I think I'm gonee throw up!!" and scarpered....

Yeah. There is that side to it. We've only heard the cabbies side to the story.

I'm not saying Higgins is entirely blameless or anything and if he did scarper without paying it's a idiot move. But just we should be mindful to believe everything we read also.

Actually, Shelley Higgins just made a good point on Twitter.

The photo the driver took. That was of him asleep in the cab, that would've been before the refusal to pay.

Why was the driver doing that? Sounds a bit shady. Sounds like he already intended to go to the press with "Higgins is drunk story".

I wonder if it was Chalk McHugh, making some extra money north of the border :chin:

I was thinking about Chalk as well. Would like his input in this thread.

The real story was that Higgins gave the cab driver £50 instead of a fiver by mistake and he got greedy and decided to make a few more quid with some bull story!

Still, hardly crime of the century. Awful photo though!

He once got very drunk on a plane as well.


That came after the Malta Cup, he was on the plane with Doherty.

In Higgins defense, taxi drivers do like to charge more than the actual fare, so maybe the story the driver told the press is not entirely true and Higgins refused to pay such amount.
