Dear Andy, I am gutted to hear the news of your passing. I was so looking forward seeing you play again in the World Senior Darts Championship! You and Barney were the reason I started watching darts from a young age. You were a great player and a special, gentle and kind person! Rest in peace mate 💜😢 There's only one Andy Fordham 💜
I was glued to this as a kid, Barney the top top player with the massive Dutch support, and Andy the most likeable player around. The passion of the fans is what makes it
Firstly - RIP Andy. Such a nice bloke. Was lucky enough to meet him a few times at exhibitions. Absolute gent. Never heard anybody say a bad word against him. Secondly - I had no idea or memory of John Part commentating this early on. Lastly - I'm sure Andys mum got more airtime than Andy or Barney in this match. True MVP
Andy, you world-class player AND person... You will be missed... Walhalla for you, mate... I remember you, humble as you were, telling Barney (after you beat him in this match) that he would always be a true Champion in your eyes. Godspeed man, and my condolences to Jenny and family.
Been playing for a month now, i don't know why but suddenly I've become obsessed with darts, I've hit a few 180s but most of all yesterday i got my first 15 dart checkout, not a 9 but for me i don't know if I'm getting really good or what but i just want to play darts up there on the stage and i have no idea why this is just taking over my life.
The blame for all this lies with the dart authorities, be they the NDAGB, BDO, WDF, PDA or what ever you want to call them. Proclaiming a certain thing which just happens to be an impossibility.

Ricky (rapid) Evens is fun to watch too.
@JosephNordenbrockartistraction did you really find it nessecary to comment this?
Epic darter, RIP Andy.
Thank you for uploading this
This has gotta be one of Andy's best performances on stage
Incredible 8th set. 11 and 12 Darts from van Barneveld. Then 12, 14 and 15 Darts from the viking. Big Darts.

@@jamesshaw4272why?
@@cmcg3738 I can't remember the details as I read it a long time ago, its in fordhams autobiography but he gave nearly a full chapter to it
RIP VIKING! LEGENDARY DARTER
Saw him once getting on the Dartford train at London Bridge. Really nice guy. Another sad loss.
RIP ANDY the Viking ❤️
Everyone loved Andy.
A true testament to his character.
R.I.P. big man.
Those first 3 darts were the first darts he'd thrown all day. He had been drinking all day in the lakeside bar
R.I.P Andy Fordham a.k.a The Viking (1962-2021)
Rip to a great darts player..
Andy drank 25 beers before his match and still won the championship legend
I bet he weren’t even tipsy. Great matches which I remember very well.

Loved Andy, RIP Mate.
Just found that I love Andy’s darts and have switched to them
RIP Andy. On another note, a BDO crowd making some noise! wow
Edit: a BDO crowd, wow!
LAKESIDE the spiritual home of proper DARTS .. . . .. LONG LIVE .
The good old days
When darts viewers respectfully watched the players instead of getting drunk and whistling when players threw their darts
It's gone full circle. It was always raucous and boisterous
15 beers before getting on stage to play bloody hell
Sad that he could never get healthy. RIP Andy.

Why did they all decide to drop the van from Barney’s name? Very strange.

Proof dart players are good at what they do but they are no athletes
I don’t get why you are comparing the two?
I watch 10 seconds of athletes every 4 years 1000s of hours of darts RIP Andy
So what? Athletes are not darts players.
Behave, look at the physique on Andy Fordham. He's a natural athlete
