Speaker
John Virgo is an English former professional snooker player, snooker commentator and TV personality. His snooker-playing fortunes peaked in 1979 when he reached the semi-final of the World Championship, and went on to win the 1979 UK Championship. Virgo retired from professional play in 1995. Virgo, as part of his exhibition performances, had long performed trick shots and comedic impressions of other snooker players.
From 1991 to 2002, Virgo was co-presenter of the snooker-based TV game show Big Break with Jim Davidson. During each show, Virgo participated in the "trick shots" segment, where a competitor would try to copy a complicated snooker shot performed by Virgo in order to win a prize.
John is more recently known for seasoned after speaking, respected for his knowledge of sports including football, horse racing, golf etc. He makes regular TV and radio appearances as well as being the star of TV advertisements and TV/radio voiceovers.
