Darts

So sorry to hear about Jockey. I met him at a charity evening and he was what it say's on the tin. No airs or graces, just lots of laughs. R.I.P. Jocky mate.

RIP Jocky Wilson, a true true character of the game. His games with Bristow were always firery encounters. A sad loss for darts



For anyone interested there was a film made on Jocky Wilson, here is a trailer for it...

Very sad news But every time I think of him, though, I can't help laughing at when Dexy's Midnight Runners went on Top of the Pops performing their hit "JACKIE Wilson Said", only for some idiot at the BBC to put a picture of Jocky on the backdrop!!!:

There's very strong evidence that this wasn't a mistake but was done by some pissed off members of BBC staff. Still very funny though.

Here's a great tribute video done a few years when the inaugaral Jocky Wilson Cup was launched. RIP Jock.

Just heard the sad news that commentator Sid Waddell has lost his battle with Cancer R.I.P Sid

I've also just heard the sad news. RIP Sid Waddell, the voice of darts.

Yeah Just heard the news will be weird not to hear commentary without him anymore

Very sad,a commentating legend,a one off. RIP.

His sayings were many and legendary, but my all time favourite has to be:

"We couldn't have more excitement if Elvis walked in and asked for a chip sandwich."

It just won't be the same without him. RIP mate.
