Ray Dolan recalls when John Virgo and Dennis Taylor called to see his father Ben and to reminisce about seeing Joe Dolan during showbands era
The snooker legend John Virgo has died aged 79.
Virgo was also a BBC commentator, and the broadcaster paid tribute to him yesterday.
On its website, it reports: Virgo enjoyed an 18-year professional career, winning the UK Championship and reaching the semi-finals of the World Championship in 1979.
He is perhaps best known for his post-playing career, presenting popular snooker TV show Big Break alongside comedian Jim Davidson from 1991 to 2002.
Following his retirement from playing in 1994, Virgo became a BBC commentator.
His last commentary for the BBC came 17 days ago when Kyren Wilson beat John Higgins in the Masters final.

Virgo visited Mullingar five years ago with the other snooker legend Dennis Taylor, and they call to see their old friend Ben Dolan.
Ben's son Ray joined them in Dolans for a bit of fun and tried to get them to use his hashtag #FromMullingarInMullingar properly!
See how he got on below.
