[@qzer1rules2]

Actually that was the semi-final against RvB, because of the story behind the macth! kzbin.info/www/bejne/opCmkmirntJogpY 2:55 it's in Dutch... But maybe there is a fragment in English

[@technojoe4079]

​@@qzer1rules2Hi, the link doesnt work. What was the story behind the match please?

[@powderedharp9603]

RIP The Viking. Was overjoyed when you won in ‘04. 😞

[@78kingmicky]

R.I.P Andy. We loved you. The viking will live on forever.

[@78kingmicky]

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.

[@zr755yt]

I was a 15 year old kid when this happened, I was so happy for him. 🇳🇱 Rest in peace Andy

[@flobbingdonkey]

RIP big man. The most popular darts player ever - no contest

[@illyushinzaaksaraiva8101]

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

[@tim-9071]

Rip Andy. He was the reason I started playing darts.

[@YiddoDave22]

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 !!

[@pillthepower]

We will all miss you Andy, Thanks for the memories, RIP Viking.

[@tay2229]

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.

[@michaelm8838]

Love always brother ! Sleep well VIKING 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@briceristow5985]

Fordham’s head belongs on the prow of a viking longship. His focus appears impenetrable.

[@luke6560]

RIP Andy🙏

[@adamgreaves634]

Easily one of the most likely darts players across the professional game

[@patrickseidel218]

Seeing this video I could not image this was in 2004. It looks more like the end of the 80s.

[@davebesag]

King was really gracious in defeat which he hasn't always shown.

[@78bullseye]

He generally was when still playing with the BDO, it wasn’t until the PDC switch that his attitude seemed to change somewhat

[@nathan2497]

@@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.

[@martynbarrett64]

Was he? Watch the interview afterwards and he doesn't come across so gracious.

[@JonathanBytheway-yh8hp]

One of my favourite dart players, the viking. Rest in peace Andy 🙏

[@abraham2174]

Big man and big player. RIP. :(

[@endlesspizza6960]

Most popular winner ever? Think only if Bobby George had won it he would have rivalled him on terms of popularity

[@lukehowell6971]

R.I.P

[@spannerintheworks1190]

The difference in who the crowd were rooting for was massively in favour of the Viking.

[@technojoe4079]

Yes, we had been wanting him to do it for years.

[@andywright3450]
