David Vine, who died 11 January, 2009, of a heart attack at the age of
74, was a multi-purpose sports presenter and commentator for the BBC
for 35 years, long associated with snooker and Ski Sunday. Known for
his distinctive West Country tones, he always had the assured self-
confidence to weather jokes about his middle-of-the-road spectacles
and jumpers.
