scotty Posted 5 April, 2018 Share Posted 5 April, 2018 The Crafty Cockney has passed away age 60. I assume he checked out with 20, double 20. Rest in peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HedgeEnder Posted 5 April, 2018 Share Posted 5 April, 2018 Very sad. One of my heroes as a kid. He revolutionised darts the same way Steve Davis did with snooker. RIP The Crafty Cockney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micky Posted 5 April, 2018 Share Posted 5 April, 2018 A player of my era, great entertainer. I believe he got the nickname Crafty Cockney due to his ability to finish using unusual combinations. So he probably checked out seven, triple seven, double sixteen. One of the pioneers of getting darts to a mainstream audience, without the likes of Eric Bristow darts could well have failed as a televised sport. Another gone far too soon, RIP.

TwoPints Posted 5 April, 2018 Share Posted 5 April, 2018 I grew up watching Eric. I played a lot of darts in my youth and always watched Eric Bristow when he was on the box. Proper legend. I loved watching him play. Really sad that he's gone. RIP Eric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shurlock Posted 5 April, 2018 Share Posted 5 April, 2018 Was watching Bristow-Wilson highlights the other day - beats the overhyped s***te that the media pass off as rivalries nowadays. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
