Tributes are being paid to two-time world snooker champion Alex Higgins, who has died after a long battle against throat cancer.
Higgins, 61, was reportedly found dead in his flat in the Sandy Row area of Belfast on Saturday.
The Belfast man won the world title in 1972 and 1982.
Dennis Taylor said: "I don't think you'll ever see a player like in the game of snooker like the great Alex Higgins."
"There was just something about the way that he played the game. There was a little bit of [John] McEnroe in there. There was always going to be a little bit of controversy," said the 1985 world champion.
