    RIP

    Many happy memories of watching him presenting the snooker over the years. He was one of those people who was really able to show he had a great interest in whatever he covered, unlike many these days.

    Sadly missed. :(

    My first memory of him is on Superstars from the last 70's. Then Ski Sunday on which he was a great commentator. Then of course we had two weeks of him covering the snooker WC in Sheffield. For those who saw it, who can forget Superstars? Quality stuff.

    Superstars 1979

    And the theme tune -Superstars theme tune

    Edit - actually that may be Ron Pickering (RIP) on that first link but Vine did present SS at some stage.
