damm good doco on the magic of darts at the time in the golden age of darts watching highlights of the legends in action here. love this and have it on dvd.
Great days for crowd pleasing characters. I wonder if they would have raised their game to compete with the players of the modern era? Van Gerwen, Mike Smith, Luke Humphries, and the latest wunderkind Luke Littler to mention a few would beat them all playing their B game. Of course to be the very best requires stiff competition, would Bristow, Lowe, Wilson, Anderson, etc have risen to the challenge? We''ll never know.
Young Eric actually shows you what he can't do now. But the problem is you can't see it. A massive conundrum, you will see and feel the opposite. And yes I can see it because I know what I'm looking for.
Back when darts was worth watching, not like todays manufactured rubbish. I don't think I've watched any darts at all since the late 80s. Could you imagine Jocky Wilson, or Bobby George playing the sawn off bodybuilder, Gerwyn Price? 😆 They'd probably both slap the gobby little twat.....it'd make good telly though 😆👍
As of Jan 24, using the UK inflation calculator, it’s not as high as what I thought it would be. It worked out at £322,653.86. However, if he bought a property for £100,000 in 1984, i suspect it would be worth a lot more than 300 grand in 2024!
Liked what Eric said at the end He never bought us a drink either ..Too tight thats why . End of the day wasnt it now the late Sean Greatbatch who was the very first to get a 9 darter live on tv . Rip Eric and Jocky .
What an Era!
R.I.P Eric
I like how they could have a cheeky cig whilst they were playing back in the day haha.
Bristow on Lowe's 9 darter: " And he never bought us a drink either "

4:34 How in the hell is that a 145 scored when it is 2 darts in the treble 20 and 1 dart in 15 bad shouting by the ref 2/60s make 120 add 15 is 135.

100k in 1984 was savage money. Must be close to a million today
Got to be.

Sean greatbatch was the first player to hit a live 9 darter, but John lowe was the first player to hit a televised 9 darter
At 4:58 minutes in, some drunk bum shouts something out and totally puts Lowe off.
Stupid comment by Tony green Eric never wanted to lose to anyone never mind John lowe
Exactly.
RIP eric :(
