    It's no age, but he didn't exactly look after himself.

    Sad, RIP.

    He probably had a bloody good life, despite it being shorter than most.

    He gave up drinking 14 years ago, but it has caused him a lot of health issues since.

    Always wanted him to win a BDO title. Shame he never could do it. He's done well to reach 59 as he didn't look after himself.

    He won the BDO title in 2004 didn't he? Unless I was in a parallel universe.

    I was always a huge Darryl Fitton fan in the BDO. But he had the habit of losing to the eventual winner nearly every year. I know Fordham beat him in 2004 on his way to the title.

    Now then Vesp lad, if I dropped dead tomorrow, folk could say that of me but they would be 100% wrong, you don't know his life style, or do you?. I could be wrong on this one.

    He was a massive drinker for most of his life, unfortunately that will take its toll on most folk, stuff like that has a nasty way of catching up with you eventually.

    Whatever his lifestyle choices he was very entertaining darts player and seemed a genuinely nice bloke when I saw him interviewed.
    A final checkout none of us want to see.

    You may be right, I don't know. I like to have a good quaffing but try to make up on exercise & diet & try to balance it out. don't know if that's possible, we'll see :D

    I believe he once said when answering a critic who said Darts wasn't a sport that "he'd been on Grandstand and wore trainers" - quality

    Yes I realised that but you can't edit the title of the post, I apologise to you, I apologise if it caused you unnecessary suffering, but I'm sure you're intelligent enough to understand who i meant. Again apologies that you felt it necessary to jump on a spelling mistake and not the message itself, can't believe you're having a meltdown over someone not being as perfect as you, well done, thanks for the insult

    I'm guessing you're either not 31 stone like him or not being serious
