Τον αγαπουσε πολυ ο κοσμος.Although sporting a "bad boy" image, in 1983 Higgins helped a young boy from the Manchester area, a fan of his, who had been in a coma for two months. His parents were growing desperate and wrote to Higgins. He recorded his voice on a tape and sent it to the boy with his best wishes. He later visited the boy in hospital, unannounced, and promised that if the boy recovered they would play snooker together. True to his word, once the boy was out, the match was held.
Aξιζει να διαβασετε την αυτοβιογραφια του From the Eye of the Hurricane: My Story (2007)In April 2010 it was announced a campaign had been set up to help raise the £20,000 Higgins needed for teeth implants, to enable him to eat properly again and put on weight. Higgins lost his teeth after intensive radiotherapy used to treat his throat cancer. It was reported that since losing them he had been living on liquid food, and had become increasingly depressed, even contemplating suicide.[
In return for this article, Jimmy White has asked the Mirror to make a donation to specialist cancer hospital The Royal Marsden which helped Higgins overcome his throat cancer.
