I’ve always enjoyed snooker and JV has been a massive part of that. R.I.P.

There’s one episode of big break on iPlayer. Memories of Saturday night

aw man am sorry to hear john virgo passed away.
i love snooker and always liked his commentating.
where's the cue ball going!
rip mr virgo 🙁
That's a shame, seemed a great character.
Wonder if theotherjonv is going to change his username
No because I was jonv on the forum v1.0 and then for some reason couldn't get on with that username and so became theotherjonv. My departed (possibly) relative would have been johnv or theotherjohnv but not theotherotherjonv
Great he kept going so long in the game, seemed like a genuine fella RIP
Sad news - enjoyed his commentary.
"Commentator's Eye"
Seemed a lovely fella on TV. Softly spoken.
