RIP john virgo,a legend and great character,sad news i grew up watching john and the lads playin snooker,great times as a youngster watching them.
I started watching snooker in 1988, 38 years with John always there as my favorite commentator. Difficult to imagine life without him.
RIP John Virgo Legend
Goodnight Jv
Rest in peace virgo
Sleep tight John thanks for the memories and laughter

Rip JV 🙏
John Virgo will be sadly missed. The tone of his voice and his sense of humour are impossible to replicate. What a sad moment in the history of snooker. May God send him to the highest gate of heaven. Amen 😢
Another great commentator gone.
Saw him doing his impressions in the 80's in Wrexham, you've never seen so many blokes pissing themselves at the same time. Culminating in Alex's impression. Feel very sad today.
R.I.P. JV, I remember Saturday night and quiz show Big Break. God Bless you. ❤
rip john virgo legend
How can you replace such an enthusiastic commentator? Snooker commentary won't be the same now. It was bad enough losing WT . RIP JV you will be missed.
Not just entertaining, but profoundly knowledgeable and a wonderful commentator. Truly the grandfather of the modern game.
He’s been potted.
So so sad . JV was awesome .
RIP J V a true legend of the game. Snooker commentary will never be the same again.
What a sad sad day. Grew up watching John Virgo , absolutely the nicest guy in snooker. Rip John ❤😢
A lovely unassuming man.
At the end of the tournaments John used to do an act with impressions of the players and how they played . It was always very funny .
Rip god the great english legends are all going !
Rest In Peace John.😢
