[@fishingstevie8830]

Rip Jocky and Eric ..Have met Jocky Wilson 3 seperate times by chance once was i was on a run games as normally was the case in Fife and played Jocky for money in around 1978/9 my first time meeting Jocky although did not know at time who he was until told and only 2 months approx later seen him play on TV And was in 1979 i went down to London for Marlborough tournament with three other older men from the place we all stayed at time . Jocky asked me at bar in Wembleys conference centre where i was seated and i points him to table he joined myself then and other three men i was with from dart team ..Jocky was just back from flying in from Usa playing for Scotland and so had called into kill time before heading back to Scotland ..Anyhow sat for a time and was fun .. 3rd time of meeeting Jocky i was in Plough Inn in Forfar Angus region in Scotland and i entered lounge and only barwoman was in room and so i asked to check u open , she said just opened up not long , i then buy a beer and open dart board cabinet and began throw away at board my usual practice bullseyes , treble 10 to treble 20 and end on bullseye and if do well hit several before going for scoring , although always go around doubles 1 to 20 .. Anyhow after a time the door slightly opens ajar and all i seen was eyes peering through into this empty lounge room apart from myself on oche and the bar woman ..A voice i hear say " Ok i have a throw at board with ye pal ..I said no problem in ye come ..to which from all people who were through in main room next door was none other than Jocky Wilson and in he comes in to join me on board and we had some fun As after a time both us throwing at board ..Jocky said to me words i recall like it was said yday although this was in 1986 ..You play for fife Stevie to which i replied , Im too good to play fir Fife Jocky , in which brought that wide Grin we all so much liked as was infectious that grin as wide as the Clyde 😊 Anyhow throwing away he Jocky then said to me , You look like that famous singer who sang a song which he mentioned and i then said back in return ..And you look like that famous Darts player Jocky Wilson in which again brought back that famous wide grin we all seen as an infectious grin 😊 Anyhow he liked Eric Bristow as i did ask him how they both got along and fine he said , he liked Eric and Eric was a guy i never met although would have liked to have as he would give banter and fun also for laugh ..Jocky was same fun guy ..Two greats of the game and i watched Jockys game for he playing Fife county darts next door that took place this ..i had to watch this game after some guy walked into lounge later we were throwing at oche inside ..and said at side of the oche where we both were throwing ..Said Jocky Wilson im playing v you and that he shall win v Jocky this guy said , ..To which Jocky replied Well we soon shall see then eh ..and i had watch that match and Jocky won easily 2/0 ..Silly thing saying to an ex World champ and he would win eh Jocky as we all know went onto win a 2nd World championship against his rival Eric Bristow in 1989 after the first Embassy World title which Jocky won v John Lowe in 1982 ..A true World champion was Jocky and went to England and took on their very best and conquered and won other main tournaments on top . Great memories Rip Jocky Wilson and Eric Bristow .

A humble man in life and for me a peoples champion. God rest his soul and I'm sure he is throwing those arrows up there with the big man.

[@mcnabn01]

[@annoneymouse5999]

Gary Anderson is Scottish and he's won the world darts championship

[@caragray7010]

Jim leisman, another great character,

[@davieanderson5110]

hats off to the organisers for this event, but surely it would have been more fitting to have had it in Kirkcaldy......must be a venue in Kdy that could hold this? Good to see him remembered though :-) :-) well done to all involved.

[@cmb2934]

It would be against basic human rights to hold an event like that in kirkcaldy. The chances of being beaten, raped and murdered are almost 100%.

[@seancampbell9740]

How many of these people were at jocky wilson funeral..that's what I want to know..
