2011 BDO World Darts Championship

He sure did, because he was the best player in the world for that week in early 2004.

Andy Fordham 2004 World Darts Champion

Adams is some cunt. How the fuck was the marker in his eyeline. Was the guy standing in front of the board? NO HE WASN’T ADAMS YOU UTTER UTTER CUNT OF A PERSON!

I did a bit of googling on this Fordham character as i’d never heard of him.

It turns out he weighed 31 stone when he won the BDO contest out in 2004 and drank “25 bottles of lager before going on stage to play.” :lol: He lost 17 stone and gave up drink before joining the PDC in 2009 as he knew he would have to get in shape to compete at that level.

It goes on to say “Fordham is ranked 232 in the PDC Order of Merit with prize money of £800.” :lol: :lol:

Everybody has heard of Andy. The man nearly died playing darts if I remember correctly. Had to be forklifted out of an event after collapsing and subsequently went on a crash diet.

Phillips threw that leg away after landing two 180s in a row and was on for a 9 darter.

Andy Fordham infamously nearly died a few years back. As he started out on the long road to recovery after losing half his weight, literally half the man he was, his health and game in ruins, Andy knew he had only one option if he was to have a chance to compete. He had to join the PDC.

Well done Wolfie. One match away from history.

Martin Adams: worse than Hitler.

+1. captain cunt

Would you say he has competed, sid?

“Fordham is ranked 232 in the PDC Order of Merit with prize money of £800.” :lol: :lol:

Maybe he should go back to the BDO and win another BDO world title. :smiley:

:smiley:

Flano I knew you were rattled but I didn’t know you were that rattled.

Jan Dekker wearing a maroon blazer for his walk on. :clap:

He doesn’t like the name Double Dekker which is a pity.

What about Doris Dekker?

Fordham used to drink 40+ bottles of beer a day, he suffered from nerves and extreme shyness. Did he not get that stomach operation done so he can only eat so much and not drink now?
Don’t think he lost all the weight by dieting alone. I’d imagine his darts went to fuck as he is literally half the size he used to be so his balance had to be completely arseways after that, almost as if he never through a dart in his life I’d imagine.

Here he is before and after. :o

Which one is before and which one is after?

I played three games of darts last night in the pub. Can’t remember the last time I played, it was awful stuff, loads of 41s and 26s.

What sort of arrows do you use, balloobas?

They weren’t mine, they were the pubs darts, a fairly wide barrell with a short stem and Barney flights. I must put up a dartboard again. When I lived in a different spot I had one for years and was getting reasonably decent at the end. I even managed a 180 once.
