I’m very sad to hear the news that John Virgo has died, aged 79. A fine player & a great TV commentator, he was the voice of #Snooker in recent years, & his infectious “Where’s the cue ball going?!” became a much loved snooker catchphrase. #RIPJohnVirgo

To be fair, John Virgo didn't know where the cue ball was going either, but he was the only man brave enough to always ask the question. 🧔♂️ #RIPJohnVirgo #snooker
