Albion fans will always remember Virgs for that iconic Withdean moment against Swindon, followed by his heroics the following season as an unlikely striker.
Less well known are the personal struggles he had to overcome on his journey to becoming a professional footballer. After losing his mother at an early age, Virgo then lost his father in tragic circumstances, just as his career was taking off.
In this episode, Virgo chats openly about the events surrounding his father’s death, and his determination to be successful.
And of course, he shares his memories of that night against Swindon, his goalscoring exploits in the Championship, and the big-money move to Celtic that didn’t quite live up to his expectations.
