John Lowe was light years ahead of loads of players in perfecting the smooth action and correlation to eye-line. In these days he was the equivalent of the top dogs these days and I can’t help a lot of people have improved because of watching John Lowe. A true master
I'm an American and never even knew about professional darts until by random chance, I saw the video of John Lowe's televised 9 darter a few years ago. After watching a bunch of old BDO and more current PDC tournament finals, I think the 80s were so much better. The crowd actually shut up when the players were throwing, and the MC had a clear, powerful voice.
Lowe won 3 world titles in 3 different decades,also every final between 1978 to 1991 featured either Lowe or Bristow in the final interesting fact that.
its ironic ...the caller is calling for quiet between throws and the crowd quieten down while drinking and smoking goes on ..fast forward to 2022 no one smokes with water for the players and the crowds go bananas all through the match lol how times change

I love the cigarette in Bristow's left hand while he throws reminds me when I was '
Proper quality days, both players and crowd!!

Eric relished playing the pantomime villain didn't he - when he gets the mixed reception at the start , you can see he is loving it
Ahh the days when the crowd wasn’t singing the ironic boring boring tables chant every 3 seconds
"crescendo at lakeside - lowe 5 bristow 4" thats why sid waddell was the best - his passion far darts was incredible

Two gentleman of darts
Eric’s finishing cost him here..
With John Lowe's textbook style, I'm surprised he's only won 2 world titles. I was expecting at least 4.
lowes throw is super smooth so nice to watch, always a gent as well
They only used one set of darts each. How peculiar.
