Man, that guy was quite a character. Sad to say I'd never heard of Jockey Wilson till today and I just looked at a bunch of articles on him. Heh, a very 'colorful' figure who musta been a big help making darts into a spectator sport worth watching on TV.
Makes me think about getting my old spears out and chucking a few while having a cocktail or two. Yeah, I was telling myself just the other day that I gotta start drinking more....
Actually I can't hear Jocky Wilson's name without remembering the Top of The Pops cock up where they put his picture on stage while Dexy's Mid Night Runners sand Jackie Wilson Said
A gentleman (a there aren't enough about) who lived just a few miles from me. Didn't get enough support in my opinion. The guy was a world champion and often all people could talk about was his weight.
