OTB Daily

Back in 2019, OTB's resident snooker superfan Shane Hannon sat down with legendary player and broadcaster in the press conference area of The Crucible Theatre in Sheffield for a wide-ranging interview.

They talked the success of Big Break, his Salford upbringing, the unique Alex Higgins, and gambling in the 80s.
Virgo passed away on Wednesday the 4th of February aged 79.

Ger Gilroy, Colm Boohig and Arthur James O'Dea were back in studio this morning with all manner of major sports stories to chat through.
After an initial diversion to consider the quality of Marco Pierre White's steaks (and his writing ability), they got stuck into hurling's manliness, Arsenal's doggedness and the dangers (or joy) of sporting nostalgia.
The conversation ends just as we started talking to Pat Nevin about last night's League Cup semi-final second leg clash between Arsenal and Chelsea, but if you want to hear that you'll need to be an OTB member!
