SNOOKER legend Alex �Hurricane� Higgins was recovering last night after being admitted to hospital with suspected pneumonia.
The 61-year-old ex-world champion, diagnosed with throat cancer 10 years ago, was said to be �comfortable� in Belfast City Hospital after being taken there on Wednesday. But there were fears over his long-awaited comeback.
Higgins, who lives in sheltered housing in Belfast, is due to appear with Jimmy White and John Parrott at Sheffield�s Crucible Theatre next Thursday as part of a Legends Of Snooker tour.
