Not a big darts fan myself, but I guess his "one hundred and eighty" is the one we all know.

Didn't realise until today that he was also the writer of Jossy's Giants - loved this when I was a kid.

Hate darts but he was good..... if Elvis came in and ordered a chip butty that would be the only way to raise the atmosphere in here here more....one of his comments on one tournament.
