Snooker legends pay an emotional tribute to John Virgo at World Championships

Steve Davis was seen fighting back tears as an emotional tribute was paid to the late snooker commentator John Virgo at the Crucible. A one minute's applause was held before the opening session of this year's World Snooker Championships in honour of Virgo, who died in February at the age of 79. Virgo, who won the UK Championship in 1979, enjoyed a long and storied career but was perhaps best known for his work as a broadcaster dubbed the 'voice of snooker'. The Salford-born star was an established part of the BBC's coverage as a commentator, famous for his catchphrase of 'Where's the cue ball going?'
