The Real McCoy's Premier League Darts (29 March 2012) Cardiff. - Спорт
Jocky was and still is my favourite dart player to watch thanks to YT uploaders. A Scottish Legend of the game who is talked about today just as much as he was back in the 80's.
Jocky was a true Scottish sports legend.He was such a character on the oche And was amazing to watch RIP Jocky
Jocky was a raw talent..the Jim Clark if darts, a natural who put his soul into the game..like Clark he burned a short but dazzling career and was ultimately destroyed by it. John Lowe, a mastermind; Bristow, a true champion; Jocky was the Mozart an erratic genius . God bless the wee Fifer
Rod saw Jocky take 1001 points in 19 darts! To take 1001 in 19 darts is otherworldly! That's over 158 average for that game. Fantastic player, his rivarly with Bristow was epic.
Met Eric Bristow at the matchplay in Blackpool, and he spoke fondly of Jock. He also told me he was the only darts player at his funeral.
That's surprising
@@parksyist Out of the whole lot of them Eric was the only one to attend. It speaks volumes,,,
Wow!!! Surprisingly enough, I’m not all that surprised. But such a shame.
It maybe didn't help,that wee Jockey turned into a total recluse,and refused to see anyone.
I'm sure some of them tried to get in touch after he left darts without much response. Don't think Jock would have held it against them so neither should we.
Glad that Eric went though.
when Jocky won his first tournament, and the dole office cut him off... you can't make that up... What a Legend of darts he was....
Eric bristow, John Lowe, Mike Gregory ,Jocky Wilson, Cliff Lazarenko, Bob Anderson, Dave Whitcombe, Keith Deller are the all time great legends of darts
You don't know darts if you don't mention the likes of Leighton Reece, Alan Evans, Alan Glazier, Tommy Barrett etc, now these were legends before the legends you mentioned. You must be about 10yrs old.
RIP Jocky a True Legend of the game
Growing up in nz, we seldom got any darts on telly. Usually a few mins highlights.
The only players I knew were Bristow, Lowe and the great Jocky Wilson.
Until I started watching darts on UA-cam, about 4 or 5 years ago, I had no idea who Phil, Raymond et all were.
But Jocky wad a rare talent. And such a great character. And, sadly a rather tragic one. Please be good to your children. A hard upbringing can destroy even such a great person. It lives with you.
Love your children and tell them every day
Brilliant to see the great Jocky Wilson is known even in the antipodes shows what a legend he is 🏴
I got goosebumps when the crowd started chanting Jocky's name
When big cliff pulls out his lighter and lights Jockys cigarette class. Legends of the sport. In a time you had to be a character to survive.
Jocky wilson , every dart he threw was for Scotland . He was excellent . RIP Jockey
That was truly heart warming
R,I,P Jocky 100% Darting Legend
His 2 son's , John and the other lad . Brilliant.
I called my youngest son the other lad after jockys son .
Jockey is always for some people in your heart
19 dart 1001 is some amazing darts, he must of hit 4 or 5, 180s on the trot.
Scotland's greatest ever sportsman
That's like saying he was the least deadly of the diseases.
@@blackporscheroadster6415shut up clown
Colin McRae.. Chris Hoy.. Andy Murray..
Denis Law? Stephen Hendry?
Still makes me sad
Jocky A Mega Darts Legend Forever!!!
Class from Phil. RIP Jocky.
One and Only Scotch Legend will Always be Missed:( That strong handshake with nice chat with deep voice will never forget me;) RIP Jockey x
Scotch is a whisky

Scottish national hero.
MAGNIFICENT GUY & GREAT CHAMPION INTO THE LOVING&CARING ARMS OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST RIP . JOCKEY LOVE:DAVIDXXX AMEN
A darts legend r.i p
Jocky was the man that brought belife to the likes of Gary Anderson
Phil Taylor said it all. This is when darts had characters. Before the game became awash with money and all these tossers came along that wanna fight each other on the oche
What an amazing story Jocky has. Went from sweet fuck all to a two time world champion and an all time legend 🏴. Shame how he ended up but his name will always be in the history books as one of Scotland's greatest sportsmen (given how many great sportsmen the Scots have, it's some achievement).
I'll never forget the crowd shouting JOCKY JOCKY JOCKY 🍺🍺🍺
Go on Jocky!
Nice one Phil
Meet hockey on several occasions best I ever seen in his day

#SKYSPORTS TAYLOR INTERVIEW TRIBUTE WILSON 🇬🇧
No need for Union Jack jocky flew the Scottish flag with pride !!
Speaks volumes about all the darts players who didn't turn up to his funeral there all fake and make out they all liked him bloody Ron Harrington what a bunch of hypocrites
It didn't help that Jocky became a total recluse and refused to speak to anyone for the last 17 years of his life.
Yes surprised Bobby George didn't go.he lived off of some Nicky Wilson storys
Easy tiger. Malvina wanted a private affair. Eric represented them.
"He's an Ingelbert Humperdinck" Phil Taylor, 2012.
What a legend...I just think he didn't enjoy life when he had to stop drinkin...darts is for pints...
Jockey using Bristow darts quality 😊
shuld have put a picture of jackie wilson up on the screen, jocky would have smiled at that
I stay a stones throw from his house in Thornhill Crescent, Kirkcaldy
