Blood, Sweat and Tears: The Alex Higgins Story - Profile of the late snooker player Alex Higgins

Profile of Alex Higgins, who died last month aged 61. The Ulsterman's victory in the 1972 World Snooker Championship at just 23 made him one of the key figures in the sport's rise to mainstream popularity - but his antics away from the table also provided plenty of tabloid headlines, with stories of alleged death threats to rivals and being stabbed by girlfriends. Featuring a rare interview with Higgins from 2005, in which he talks to Des Cahill about his battle with cancer, as well as contributions from daughter Lauren and fellow players Ken Doherty, Steve Davis and Ray Reardon
