PREMIER LEAGUE broadcasting legend Geoff Shreeves has been spotted enjoying some time at the Snooker World Championships.
Shreeves, 60, became a household name as he spent more than 30 years working with Sky Sports as a pitchside reporter.
However, he quit the broadcaster in late 2023 after he was set to be part of a major cost-cutting effort the broadcaster was making at the time.

O'Sullivan had been unsure whether he would even enter the tournament this year for a chance at his eighth world title after pulling out of a host of competitions this year.
But after his win over Carter, O'Sullivan said: “I had no expectations so there were no nerves. I didn't expect to perform well based on the last three or four years. I just wanted to make a game of it.
“Ali had his chances yesterday, on another day he would be 6-3 up [after the first session], and again today he had a couple of chances. I cued a lot better than I did yesterday.
“I have some mental tools to work with to keep things tight, I will always tinker, but it's about when to let go I suppose.”
Last year it was announced that Shreeves was embarking on a new project to interview big name stars from and beyond about their love of music.
More recently, Shreeves has interviewed the likes of fellow broadcasting icon Martin Tyler on The Joy of Football Podcast.
