John Virgo, the great snooker commentator who was known as the voice of the sport, has died aged 79.

Sad news - No more "WHERE'S THE CUEBALL GOING!".

RIP JV.

One of the greats and old school commentators. The beeb won't be the same without him.

Sad news, listening to JV and WT together during the worlds back in the 2000's/10's were great times. Add in some Terry dry humour and I could sit and listen to the trio all day long.
RIP JV

Rest in peace John Virgo. Will be sorely missed on the BBC coverage. Magic commentator, always created a sense of importance for the occasion with his words
