Quote from: Tony Baloney on February 04, 2026, 02:54:48 PMThat's sad to hear about John Virgo. Despite any limitations he had as a player, he was a great in the commentary box. Another generational voice gone.

Who will  be considered the voice of snooker now JV is gone?
In my time we've gone through Whispering Ted Lowe, Clive Everton and now JV. I couldn't abide Hendry when he was a player but I like him as a commentator and a contributor.

I don't really watch much snooker these days to comment on Hendry ,but would  Dennis  not be   the  main commentator now?

Quote from: gerrykeegan on February 04, 2026, 09:48:48 AMI do remember him playing but definitely remember him better for his commentary.  Where's the cueball going?


Watched a compilation on X today of him saying 'Where's the cue ball going'!

Loved me a bit of Big Break

Dennis would still be there but doesn't commentate on as many matches as he used to. With that lovely Coalisland twang they really should be giving him every match.
