His trick shots were the only reason to watch that show.

That's a shame, he definitely deserved to show up at Davidson's funeral and call him a cunt.

I only knew him because of Big Break but must confess I absolutely DESPISED that programme.

Captain Sensible made a few quid doing the theme song. That's a positive.

Big Break was fairly hateful TV, but that wasn't because of John Virgo. The patience of the man sticking that out for as many years as he did.

John Virgo was good at what he did for the very little I watched it but JIM DAVIDSON and the show being like the BBC version of WATCHING PAINT DRY is what put it on a downer for me.

He properly felt like the voice of snooker for me.

79 is a pretty average break for a pro though.
