From Word of Sport:
Rare example of the right author finding the perfect subject. This compelling and hair-raising biography of the self-destructive Belfast genius chronicles the meteoric rise, the scintillating talent, the epic benders and the controversies that have beset Higgins in a richly entertaining, occasionally terrifying, book.
From the Publisher:
Bill Borrows traces Higgins' meteoric rise, from his working-class origins, to his discovery of his sparkling talent, his epic benders with Oliver Reed and George Best, and the controversies that engulfed the final years of his career.
