Very true, come on BBC pull your fingers out, this guy was sport for more than one generation and everyone over the age of about 20 would remember him!

"lets hope Hendry can turn those sad feelings around by winning this tournament''

I don't think that eventuality would turn around anyone's sad feelings - except perhaps Hendry's mum's.

RIP David, a sad loss.
Tend to agree with a couple of comments, I don't think the BBC appreciates the genuine professionals who have worked for them over the years. The audience does.

David, you will be missed - a great loss to the presenting of the 'smaller' sports esp Snooker.

For the few comments about the BBC - When the news broke on the 11th, the BBC site did have it as a main headline on the day so comments are unjustified.

Condolences to the family of David Vine. Those who survived him will always have the memories of how great a man he truly was. He was a gentleman, and a fantastic personality.

Thank you David for all your of your work.
God bless you.

David Vine wasn't perfect, but he made the present crop of snooker players-turned-commentators sound like rank amateurs (which of course, they are.)

David Vine will always bee the face of snooker, ski sunday, weighlifting, match of the day, a question of sport, miss world, the eurovision song contest and grandstand to me.

Joking a side though he was a true gent and will be sadky missed.
