The first Snooker Legends evening at the Crucible, billed as a night of nostalgia, was an instant sell out. With not only Alex Higgins’ return but also that of the 1980 World Champion Cliff Thorburn, the 1991 World Champion John Parrott and the peoples champion Jimmy ‘Whirlwind’ White. The blood red set, inspired by the old Embassy colours and some old footage of Cliff, Alex and Jimmy set the scene and when ‘The Entertainer’ and ‘Pot Black’ music played – it was time to begin.

I hope you will enjoy the new look site – dedicated to all things snooker.   

The site includes News, latest results,  my own tournament tips –  as well as the old favourites such as the snooker clinic, competitions and features which should be interesting as well as fun and entertaining.

Recently launched, the new ‘An Evening with John Virgo’ for those club nights or events – my calendar is usually up to date so you can check for events in your area or for a more bespoke event, just send us your enquiry.

Jimmy White and I have also put together a corporate events package. It certainly makes for a night with a difference for staff or client events…. click here for details.

I hope you will find the features and snooker tips of value – and of course – with the new site, you can have your say – just follow the links to send us your comments or views.
