Gutted. He was a top man and a legend of the great game of darts. RIP.

Drank like a fish, smoked like a chimney, lived on fry ups and takeaways, told it like it was. Played an exhibition then goes outside and checks out for the final time, twenty - double top. All this whilst the Premier league of darts is in full flow !

Typical of the man really.

Boyhood hero of mine and outside of Simon Garner he was my biggest sporting hero bar non I think.

Gutted.

Saw a tweet that said ‘he didn’t die at 60, he died at treble 20’.

Very fitting. R.I.P.
