The other Higgins

#1 Post by Jean-Claude Fornier »

In one or two Magnum episodes, we learned J.Q. Higgins was a snooker fan and that he was watching some snooker championships via satellite.

Coincidentally, one of the best snooker players of these past 10 years is a scotsman named (would you believe it) John Higgins who won 2 World championships in 1998 and 2007 and who is currently snooker world number one. (only 7 players managed to make it since the first world ranking in the early 70's)

There's also another snooker world champion by the name of Alex Higgins (Ireland)! So, in "Photo Play", when Jonathan is watching snooker via satellite, maybe he was watching Alex Higgins, who may or may not be another half brother! :)
Higgins: It's not a scratch! It's a bloody gouge!
