John Higgins shrugged off a bout of food poisoning to whitewash Alan McManus tonight (Thursday) and book a Malta Cup quarter-final against Stephen Hendry.
02 Feb 2006 21:53:00
The newly-crowned SAGA Insurance Masters champion contracted the illness shortly after his first round win over Robert Milkins in Portomaso.
But the Wizard of Wishaw emerged from his sickbed to score a 5-0 defeat of his fellow Scot, compiling breaks of 55, 67 and 53.
"I don’t know what gave me the food poisoning but I’ve been in bed for the last two days and not been able to keep anything down," said the world No 6. "It’s only today that I’ve been able to keep some water in.
"At first I thought it was just flu so I took a couple of lemsips. But after a while I was running back and forth to the toilet.
"I felt very light-headed at the table and I thought I could have missed anything. I was getting double vision on some shots. It was a horrible game to play in, but luckily Alan didn’t put any pressure on me at all.
"I’ve never felt that bad in all my life playing snooker. It’s slightly better today, hopefully I’ll be able to eat some dry toast but for now I’m off to bed!"

EXCLUSIVE: DRUNKEN SNOOKER STARS IN JET SHAME
Champions Higgins and Doherty kicked off flight home after all-night bender
"Snooker stars Ken Doherty and John Higgins were booted off a plane yesterday when they turned up drunk after an all-night boozing session. The friends went on a bender together after Doherty, 36, beat Higgins, 30, in the Malta Cup final. They spent all Sunday night drinking then went straight to Valletta airport for the 7.15am flight back to London.
But passengers complained they were drunk and rude. Airport security staff accused Higgins of being "nasty and abusive". Police warned them about their behaviour before they got on the Air Malta plane. A passenger then complained to cabin crew and the captain ordered them and an aide off the flight. They returned to the airport in the afternoon after spending the day sobering up and caught a 3.50pm KLM service back to Heathrow.
Yesterday Higgins said: "It's perfectly reasonable for the captain to be thinking about the safety of his passengers but I honestly thought we were fine."
One passenger said: "John had obviously had a fair amount to drink. He was allowed on to the plane but the stewards seemed to think he'd cause problems for the other passengers. He wasn't aggressive towards anybody and accepted the decision without any aggravation. Ken didn't seem to be drunk and it looked like he was trying to help John out but the crew told him that if he didn't like the decision he could leave as well."
An onlooker saw them later at the airport drinking iced tea. He said: "They were very apologetic and said they didn't mean any harm, they'd just had a bit too much to drink."
A source said: "The match didn't finish until late into the evening and when they arrived for the flight it was clear they'd been drinking all night."
Police warned them about their behaviour before they boarded, then a lot of other passengers complained about them being drunk and rude. Airport security staff said Higgins was rather nasty and abusive and complained angrily when the captain wouldn't let them on the flight.
They were taken to the VIP lounge by security staff to calm them down, then went to the hotel where they spent the day sobering up.
Air Malta said: "Three passengers were asked to disembark following complaints on their fitness to travel by other passengers. In the interest of both the offloaded passengers and all other passengers, it was decided to re-route the offloaded passengers on a later flight.""

I'LL BE DRY IN THE SKY
Snooker ace vows not to drink before flying
"Snooker ace John Higgins says he'll never booze again before getting on a plane. Higgins was kicked off a flight back from a tournament on Monday with Irish ace Ken Doherty. But yesterday, the 30-year-old Scot strongly denied he was too drunk to travel, insisting he was just tired. Dad-of-two Higgins, who lost 9-8 to Doherty in the final of the Malta Cup at the weekend, said: "This has all been a big embarrassment. What I have definitely learned is that I will never have a drink before I board a flight again. It's not worth it. To be honest, I feel this is a storm in a teacup. Ken and I had a few drinks at the end of the tournament but if anyone on the flight thought we were drunk I would put it down to exhaustion more than anything else. We were both dead on our feet."
Higgins and Doherty boarded the 7.50am Air Malta flight to Heathrow but the cabin crew decided to remove them after complaints from passengers.
Higgins said: "Our match did not finish until 11pm. By the time we left for a local bar it was about 2.30 in the morning. We were getting picked up at our hotel at 5.45am, so there was no point in going to sleep. Everything seemed fine until an air stewardess told Ken and I there had been some complaints. But we were not drunk, just shattered. All we wanted to do was get our heads down for a wee sleep. There was no arguing, shouting or bad language. We just got off the flight quietly and that was that. I would rather put it behind me now.""

Snooker: O'Sullivan relishes return to Wales
Feb 18 2006


Snooker's brilliant world No 1 Ronnie O'Sullivan explains to Paul Williams why he holds a special affinity for the Welsh Open

Paul Williams, Western Mail


IT IS little wonder Ronnie O'Sullivan is relishing a return to Wales later this month.

O'Sullivan, the most talented player ever to pick up a snooker cue, might have achieved almost all there is to accomplish in the game, but he breaks off in the Welsh Open bidding for his first hat-trick of tournament titles.

Having waited 12 years for his first professional success in Wales, when he beat Steve Davis 9-8 in a thrilling 2004 final, O'Sullivan waited only another 12 months to collect his second slate trophy, and he edged out that other great legend of the modern era, Stephen Hendry, by the same scoreline in the final.

While the world No 1 gained great satisfaction from the stature of his vanquished opponents on those occasions, the stage also provided an immense source of pride to this enigmatic character whose reverence for snooker's history is at odds with his occasional rebellions against the sport he was born to play.

O'Sullivan said, "I love coming back to play in the Welsh Open, and it's not just because I've had such success in the tournament over the last two years.

"It's because Wales is such a special place to play snooker. It's like going to Las Vegas to box because Wales has got such a great pedigree in snooker.


"A lot of great players have come out of Wales over the years - world champions like Mark Williams, Terry Griffiths and Ray Reardon.


"It means the fans there are very knowledgeable and I've always noticed that extra bit of support. The fans are pretty good most places we play, but they really love their snooker in Wales."


O'Sullivan has a further motive to rack up a Welsh Open three-peat at Newport Centre from February 27 to March 5.


One of those former Welsh world champions he mentions is none other than his own coach. Reardon, who hails from nearby Tredegar, linked up with O'Sullivan just before the World Championship in 2004 and is widely accredited with harnessing snooker's most explosive talent to a more resilient temperament as the Rocket completed a supremely dominant march to his second Crucible title.


Things have been pretty good thereafter as O'Sullivan enjoyed the most successful year since the heyday of Hendry when he scooped five of the 10 major titles up for grabs last season.


Reardon's six world titles in the 1970s are ample evidence that he was no slouch himself on the green baize, but many are surprised Dracula can have made such an impact on a player who could have trounced him in his pomp... playing cack-handed.


"Sometimes, it's like being a big kid and having your dad tell you that you've just got to go out there and play well," offered O'Sullivan, giving an insight into his sometimes troubled ego.


"It's having someone of his experience to tell you you're doing all right, even when you think you're playing badly.


"I trust his instincts for the game and it's worked out really well. Ray's been a tremendous help to me."


And for those who think the mentor relationship may have run its course, the Rocket adds, "Ray is as hungry as I am to do well.


"He's as excited as ever about seeing me win . He doesn't travel with me to every tournament, but there's a good possibility we'll be featuring together again at the Welsh Open."


With six 147 breaks in competition and comparisons to Mozart from rival player Peter Ebdon, who ironically ended the Rocket's Crucible defence with more prosaic qualities last year, O'Sullivan has always had the cue mastery to surpass Stephen Hendry's record seven world titles.

But he goes to Sheffield this April aged 30, the same milestone at which Hendry claimed his last big one. O'Sullivan - to the surprise of everyone who marvelled at him winning the 1993 UK Championship as a 17-year-old - is still five short of matching Hendry's mark.


While his talent has never been in question, O'Sullivan's temperament has always been suspect. But with Reardon having made him a more durable match player, there is evidence the Rocket is embracing a new way of winning matches.


"The best games to win are the ones where you are not playing at your best but manage to grind out the victory," he said.


"Those are the ones that give you the most gratification. When you play well, you can often win matches without really thinking about it.


"But the matches where you are forced to think your way though the game are the most satisfying ones to win."


O'Sullivan nearly pulled one such a match out of the bag at last month's Masters at Wembley, but instead John Higgins came back one more time to pip him 10-9, his second final defeat to the Scot this season.


"I've reached a couple of finals and found John in good form," acknowledged the Essex man. "It would have been nice to win one, but it's good to see John back where he belongs after a few poor seasons by his standards.


"He's back playing really well now and, if I don't win it, he's got the best chance at this year's world championship.


"There's a lot of good players who can win it, but I think, on current form, we'd have to start as the favourites."


While Higgins has re-established himself towards the top end of snooker's rankings, Wales' Mark Williams has gone in the opposite direction.


World champion less than three years ago, Williams is in danger of falling out of the world's elite top 16 and playing qualifiers at Pontins in Pwllheli come the autumn.


"I'm really surprised by how long Mark's slump in form has gone on," said O'Sullivan, whose autobiography revealed there is little love lost between the two twice world champions.


"For a year or so I thought maybe he'd got a bit lazy, but I can't work out how he's struggled for two years or more.


"Mark seems too good a player not to come good before too long. He should never be fighting for a top-16 place.


"But it's amazing what a little bit of confidence can do in snooker. He could even go and win at Sheffield - he's got the pedigree and the bottle, when his game comes together, he's world class."

Snooker: Ronnie's fav 'Port of call Feb 26 2006
Peter Shuttleworth, Wales on Sunday

WORLD No 1 Ronnie O'Sullivan last night urged snooker chiefs to keep the Welsh Open in Newport.

THE Newport Centre will stage the Welsh Open for the second successive year this week but World Snooker - who decide on a year-to-year basis where to host Wales' annual snooker tournament - is still seeking a suitable venue in the capital.

The Welsh Open - which started in 1992 - has previously been hosted at the Cardiff International Arena and the Welsh Institute of Sport at Sophia Gardens, but snooker's governing body consider the CIA too expensive and the Institute of Sport unsuitable.

Now snooker icon Ronnie O'Sullivan has added his weight to the discussion.

The double World Champion, who is targeting a Welsh Open hat-trick this week, insisted: "I like playing Cardiff but I do prefer the Welsh Open when it is in Newport. The crowd in Newport are far more vociferous and supportive to the players.

"They seem a lot more into their snooker compared to Cardiff where it is very quiet. I don't know why that is the case but it is."
