Virgo has potted his last black

[Mr Anon]

79, RIP

[Takashi Miike]

may have won a uk title, which was always ranked as one of the major tournaments. I'm sure that was his biggest win

[Sydney_Iron]

He was one of those players that always seemed there abouts at the big, televised tournaments when snooker was drawing huge TV audiences but i can't recall him winning any of them? Came across as a real gentleman in the same vein as Ray Reardon.

Decent commentator and pundit on the game as well, will be missed, sad day for snooker.

RIP

Always good to see that he  ever seemed to take himself to seriously.

[Tomshardware]

Was sad to hear this,  loved watching big break as a kid and always enjoyed his commentary.  

[Far Cough UKunt]

RIP John Virgo

[Massive Attack]

Shame. Loved his commentary and seemed like a good bloke

Likewise. Not a bad player, decent commentator, another genuine character gone. RIP and all that.

[El Scorchio]

met him many years ago, nice bloke. rest in peace

Sort of bloke who would be fantastic to sit and have a drink with, I'd imagine. Full of great stories and an entertainer.

[One Sunny Day]

Bit irritating on commentary but a nice bloke and one of the few people left in snooker with some personality. R.I.P.

[fraser]

Sad news, very likeable bloke a proper character. 

[Gary Strodders shank]

RIP 

A character 

He helped snooker cross over to a more mainstream TV audience in the eighties with his impersonations of other players.snd trick shots.

He also loved a bet and a bird which cost him a lot of his wealth but nonetheless seemed to be a happy go lucky guy who enjoyed life and got to make a living from a sport he loved.

I life well lived despite a somewhat premature ending.at 79.
