The rival Professional Darts Corporation’s world championship has just finished, won by John Part, a former BDO player. You’ve always been regarded as one of the BDO’s stalwarts. Why have you always remained loyal when so many other players most notably in recent years Raymond van Barneveld who made their names at the Lakeside have defected? Quite simply this. It was the BDO that gave me the opportunities to become the player that I am. Not just the BDO Board, but all the volunteer officials in every County and Super League. It is not in my nature to turn my back on all the help and support I have received from those people over the last 20 years or so. Loyalty seems to be a dirty word in some quarters these days. Far too many people want to take out and never put something back.
Interesting fact about this bastard is that he was nowhere to be seen until the breakaway. The fucking toerag, The BDO didnt give him an opportunity He had to wait until the best players in the world weren’t around to try and make an impression. Even then it took him 15 odd years and for countless darts players to leave for the professional scene before he had a hope.
