Not a darts fan , but was on a weekend break with a pal to edinburgh , eric was sitting in the lounge at the hotel we were staying in, my mate recognized him,this was in about 1975 .My pal said 'alright eric, hows' it going?' , eric replied :'spot on mate , spot on'.Sorry to hear that he died in our hometown .

You can see how frail Alan was here, even though this was only two years before he died. Mad to think he was only 47 here, he looks like a bloke who has a 47 year old son. Alan would be 75 if he was still with us, still greatly missed. He put the Rhondda Valleys on the map.

I saw Eric in an exhibition in a pub once, he had 48 left, he asked his opponent to borrow his darts, then got down on one knee and went D8, D8, D8, all in a row from bottom to top of the bed. Even thinking about it now it’s amazing, to have the confidence to do that in front of a packed pub was just incredible. And you’ve got to get it or everyone is thinking what a twat. But of course, he did it, and with style 🫡👌

Darts is solid your more likely to get good at heart surgery than you are at darts, it's so hard to be accurate consistently. No one commenting negatively would even win a leg against Eric bristow. And he backed Phil the power Taylor financially to start him as a pro. so he gave us two of the greatest ever

Some odd reason yrs later im seeing this post for first time i wonder why ? Anyhow my fav players one i liked Eric Bristow where back in Fife , Scotland not very many liked him ,not that they knew Eric but i seen he was at it with the mind games Muhammad Ali style i reckon he copied from Ali with his chat lol but it worked for him And i also seen he was a very good darter and i liked him , myself one of not so many back in the day in Scotland when Eric was in his prime I never ever met Eric but i seen the Muhammad Ali in him cheeky crafty cockney lol but he done what he often said won big tournaments , but never met Eric and would have liked to have but i dont go out my way for such things at all . As alls chance and accident Another top darter i met 3 x times once played him in around 1978/9 for some £s in a bar in Fife another time was in 1979 was in Wembleys conference centre at a marlborough tournament and Jock Wilson had called in as just had flown back to London from Usa ..he had heard me buying round drinks at bar and shouted over you a Fifer pal , i looks across and it was Jocky and he came over asking where i was seated and so i point Jocky where and he sat beside me and other 3 men i was with and chatted and had laugh ..my final time with Jocky was in 1986 in a lounge bar in Angus region of Scotland and both alone practicing on board as Jocky had put a longer story short asked ok for throw at board with you mate So no one else in room except bar woman myself and Jocky ..last time i ever seen Jocky was then and watched his match winning 2/0 after guy said he was playing v Jocky and would win v Jocky lol ..silly thing to say v a World champion twice .. I recall like it was yday when both together i asked how he got along with Eric and Jocky said fine that he liked Eric and just a Scotland v England thing where both tried win on oche but got on fine and some banter but liked Eric Bristow. Rip to both them guys and also another 2 greats of game Leighton Rees and Alan Evans and i inc another top darter came sat beside me in Nairn in Scotland Angus Ross and his father came sat at my table in a tournament and yrs after i heard of Angus passing ..Rip to all them guys top players they all were and also to others gone and everyone knows of several in bars up and down the country who could throw a good dart who no longer here with us Rip to them all ..
