Show Notes
A sad episode of the podcast at a sad time for the sport, as Nick and Phil pay tribute to the unforgettable and irreplaceable John Virgo, who has died at the age of 79.
We talk about Virgo the player, the commentator and the entertainer. From winning the UK Championship to doing impressions of his fellow stars, being a mainstay of Saturday night television and his four decades behind the microphone on the BBC.
Thank you John for being such a wonderful part of our snooker lives for ever and a day. Rest in peace.
On the table, we reflect on World Grand Prix success in Hong Kong for world champion Zhao Xintong, and look ahead to the Players Championship in Telford, including some personal Channel 5 news from Phil. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
