I stand corrected. I didn't realise he was in fact akin to Bono. My bad. Apologies.

Not the first Christmas he's spent doing that either.
I didn't know about this year, but he has spent previous Christmas Day's helping out at a food shelter to serve warm, cooked meals to the homeless.
Like most of the good stuff that he does, that you don't read about, he doesn't talk or brag about what he was doing. I only found out after seeing a photo on Laila's Twitter from the charity thanking them both for helping out on the day.

So if he can keep finding his ways to food shelters why couldn't he find the time to attend Alex Higgin's funeral?

What has that got to do with anything?
He didn't have to go to the funeral.

No one has to go to any funeral, I think at the time many felt that the correct and respectful thing would have been for him to attend though.

Maybe he didn't like him. I didn't like him. Therefore I didn't go to his funeral.

I'm sure dozens of players didn't go. Why would O'Sullivan have to go? They clearly weren't that close.

Bit different, I haven't heard you praise him in numerous interviews about how Higgins keep the game alive and basically made it possible for players to earn a lot of money in the future.

I just remember at the time of the funeral that there was surprise that he didn't attend the funeral, I think I saw a tweet from Higgins niece where she was referring to the fact that a prominent player hadn't attended when many others had, I just presumed that she was referring to Ronnie as you don't get any more prominent then him then or now.

Alex Higgins died in 2010, Shelley Higgins didn't even join Twitter until January 2013. So not sure how she could have tweeted about that when she didn't have Twitter at the time.
