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.
I stand corrected. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_BDO_World_Darts_Championship Still a decent standard then. It was a shame he couldn't finish his battle of the champions match with Taylor.
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. RIP The Viking
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
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
