Of course I'd never heard of him before, but the footage I've watched is quite impressive. During the peak of his playing career in the 1970's it was commonplace to be drinking and smoking around the table during tournaments (as I've seen in a number of other videos) and we can only imagine what happened while he practiced. Unfortunately Hurricane died an early death at the age of 61 after a long battle with throat cancer.
