Its a shame he was talented but as Arriba says.....he lasted longer than a lot of people probably thought he would in all honesty. RIP

I'm surprised he lasted this long as well. He was on my death list thing last year. RIP.

RIP. It's a great shame that some people can't be happy even once they've reached the very top of their profession.

Sad news. My Grandad mixed with him alot and always had good words to say about him.As others have said he did live longer than most expected.

I remember a few years back him and my grandad doing exhibitions and he really wasn't a well man then.

R.I.P Hurricane..

What a player...a legend.
So sad he ended his days in a little flat and was found on his own....a lonely death.
RIP.

A legend in an era when snooker was big!

I can always remember him doing some sort of jig with a hat on...
