Anyone else into the darts?

Standard seems a bit off this year so far but it’s early days.

Littler is going to be some player, I’m still not convinced he is actually 16 though 🤷‍♂️

Had a little bet on him at 10/1 to win it, not as convincing tonight but he’s defo got it in the locker.

This lads some talent 👌

Looks like it will be Littler v Humphries in tomorrows final.

I can see it being nip and tuck all the way, could go to either of them, they are both throwing very good arrows.
 
Bring back Jocky Wilson getting smashed and chain smoking while playing. Bunch of pussies these days ;)
 
I miss the old characters like Jocky. Bobby George, Bristow, John Lowe… the golden years of darts 🎯

And, of course, they all came to Jollees in Longton just up the road from where I was living back then 👍
 
I moved from Stoke to Stafford in the Late 70's early 80's to work at St Georges Hospital. They had a vibrant Social club and two league darts teams of which I was in one. They regularly used to have an evening with a then famous Darts player as a guest. They were always very well attended and great fun. I met quite a few of the famous darts players of that era. Bobby George was brilliant and really played up to his 'TV persona' and nothing was too much trouble for Jocky Wilson.

It’d be interesting to see how the 70s & 80s players in their prime compared to todays ‘stars’.

John Lowe hit the first tv 9 darter, these days there seems to be quite a few. Maybe that’s because there’s more tv tournaments now with Sky 🤷🏻‍♂️

Bristow v Littler
Jocky v Peter Wright
Bobby George v MVG

I enjoy watching and playing darts, just doesn’t seem to be the characters there used to be.
 
Great final at the World Masters last night. Luke Humphries and Johnny Clayton battling right to the very end. Humphries looked rattled at one stage but clung on for a win. Entertaining right to the last throw 🎯
