Alex Higgins Not Guilty GBH Court Assault Charge Snooker 1979 Original Press Photo

chau3634  A vintage 9" x 6" Reuters Press Agency 1979 press photo for Alex Higgins just after facing court charges for assault and found Not Guilty.  The press photo shows him celebrating with what looks like champagne in silver glasses and reverse reads "The Hurricane Found Not Guilty" and has full editorial on the reverse including about the jury, the assault and his girlfriend celebrating telling the press how she always knew he would be found not guilty. Bar light surface and very mild reverse ageing (really slight) it is otherwise great condition (ex minus grading).

Press photos for Alex Higgins are near impossible to find as they are so sought after, and to secure one of him linked to a GBH court case is an opportunity you will surely never source again.
