Actually that was the semi-final against RvB, because of the story behind the macth! ua-cam.com/video/l_Ca5uim5L4/v-deo.html 2:55 it's in Dutch... But maybe there is a fragment in English
I was 29 when I had the chance to watch this on live TV with my ex-wife and my baby boy, who was only 3 months old. Never forget the joy all around, he was a magic player
As a footnote i watched this win at a long closed pub,on the old projector screen as i played in the pool league. 🎱 I won,but that didnt matter as seeing Andy finally nail it. One of mums favourite players,she would have been so sad to hear of his passing.
Andy fordham is an absolute legend of darts. The reason I play, and still use his darts to this day, to the legacy, he has passed on through him and through me, our kids play darts. Because of the big man. Massive fan, Sadly missed, these videos I can watch all day. There's only one ......Andy Fordham RIP big fella, you brought alot of joy to my life and you even personally messaged about your new darts to me, that I got abit excited about now your gone it's emotional. Cheered you all the way. The best !!
@@78bullseye Most can be sore losers probably comes to down to competition playing for mega money etc it can bring out the worst in most under the pressure etc. King is a very good player though I like his smooth throw.
Brought here to celebrate the Vikings greatest win, in respect of his sad passing today. RIP big guy 🙏

I was a 15 year old kid when this happened, I was so happy for him. 🇳🇱 Rest in peace Andy
RIP big man. The most popular darts player ever - no contest
Rip Andy. He was the reason I started playing darts.
We will all miss you Andy, Thanks for the memories, RIP Viking.
RIP - 17 years on, it's quite spooky that one of these people is no longer with us and the other is still in the upper echelons of the game.

Incredible Match from The Viking. 97 Ave on the old Boards. Big Darts from Big Andy.
One of the most simplest throws, what a great man the darts world has lost, RIP Legend
So long Andy, gone too soon but thanks for the memories.
RIP Andy The Viking Fordham what a legend to the game of darts. I remember watching this final and wanting Andy to win

Thank you Andy, for being a huge part of my childhood ! I won’t ever forget you !
It was a wonderful match & you were a wonderful guy!
Love always brother ! Sleep well VIKING 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Seeing this video I could not image this was in 2004. It looks more like the end of the 80s.
One of my favourite dart players, the viking. Rest in peace Andy 🙏
Fordham’s head belongs on the prow of a viking longship. His focus appears impenetrable.
RIP Andy🙏
Easily one of the most likely darts players across the professional game
King was really gracious in defeat which he hasn't always shown.
He generally was when still playing with the BDO, it wasn’t until the PDC switch that his attitude seemed to change somewhat

King is a very good player though I like his smooth throw.
Was he? Watch the interview afterwards and he doesn't come across so gracious.
RIP Andy "The Viking" FORDHAM!
🎯🏆🥇
Awesome guy and great Rangers man 🇬🇧🙏💙
Very 😥A big RiP Andy...love to Family and friends x
Proud to say, this lad is on my Mt Rushmore of darts.
the first ever bdo final I ever watched when I was just 11 years old
Long live the Viking. RIP Andy.
What a great match. R.I.P. Andy.
Atmosphere was at its best here. Well before the sky sports crowd came in with football songs
Rest easy big man a true blue and forever one of us. We are the people 😢🇬🇧🏴🏴
Rest in peace big man 🍺 🎯 🌍
What happened to the first video of this match it shows Mervin and Andy being interviewed
This is from 17 years ago very rare to ever see it on tv so he prob couldn’t find it anyhwerw
Big man and big player. RIP. :(
I didn't care if the viking lost he was still my best
Most popular winner ever? Think only if Bobby George had won it he would have rivalled him on terms of popularity
R.I.P
Let's play darts ... Rip mate miss u
R.I.P. Viking
The first time in a long time they didn't say the embassy world champion presented by the marketing director from imperial tobacco
R.I.P big fella .....but every time I see Andy I cant help it ....I start thinking of Not The Nine O'clock News !
The difference in who the crowd were rooting for was massively in favour of the Viking.
Yes, we had been wanting him to do it for years.
Wnat a great dart player he was r.i.p. big Andy
RIP legend
RIP VIKING
Rip
A Viking legend. Shame he didn’t remember any of it lol.
