Year to Remember: John Higgins
It was a year of redemption for Higgins after his six-month ban in 2010 during the notorious match-fixing betting sting.
2011 was a sad year for Higgins as his father passed away after a long battle with cancer, and it made for an emotional return to winning ways as the Scotsman won the Welsh Open soon after and dedicated that victory to his late father. After his much-publicised troubles 12 months earlier, Higgins was determined to show what he can do as he returned to the Crucible, but fans remained divided and he was heckled during the semi-finals by an angry spectator. Higgins did not lose focus though, and beat Ronnie O'Sullivan, Mark Williams and eventually Judd Trump in the final to stand fourth on the list of all-time winners behind Stephen Hendry, Ray Reardon and Steve Davis. - http://www.sportinglife.com
