Snooker legend and BBC commentator John Virgo has died aged 79.
Virgo enjoyed an 18-year professional career, winning the 1979 UK Championship among four non-ranking titles.
He is perhaps best known for his post-playing career, co-presenting snooker TV programme Big Break from 1991 to 2002.
Following his retirement in 1994, Virgo took up a full-time commentary position with the BBC.
He was part of its coverage for last month’s Masters.
