EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Peter Stone from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the 6th of May in 1973 at London Airport. The iconic snooker player, Alex "Hurricane". Higgins, finds himself undergoing an unexpected search. This snapshot captures a moment filled with intrigue and humor. As our eyes focus on the image, we witness the intense facial expressions of both Higgins and the airport security personnel. The lines etched on their faces tell stories of curiosity, surprise, and perhaps even amusement. It is as if time stands still in this frozen frame that encapsulates a unique blend of sport, travel, transport, and 1970s fashion. Higgins' larger-than-life personality shines through his posture and demeanor despite being subjected to scrutiny. Known for his flamboyant style both on and off the snooker table, he remains unfazed by this unforeseen interruption to his journey. This photograph not only serves as a reminder of Higgins' prominence within the world of snooker but also highlights how public figures navigate everyday situations just like anyone else. With its timeless appeal and subtle humor captured within its borders, this print becomes more than just a mere depiction; it becomes an emblematic representation of an era long gone yet forever cherished in our memories.
