Iirc didn't Jocky Wilson "fall from grace" somewhat after "throwing his toys out of the pram" when losing to a player from Tiverton ? He was upset that the chap was taking too long to throw his darts ! Meanwhile the Crafty Cockney introduced the nation to the affliction of "dartitis" !

Sounds vaguely familiar....The big names in darts often played in pubs under sponsorship deals with breweries back in the day, iirc.
I remember Eric Bristow playing locals in The Holiday Inn pub, Dawlish Warren in early 1980’s

Who could forget one of Wilsons & Bristows contemporaries the ‘King of Bling’ Bobby George the Del Boy of the Darts 
world.
He was also part of the BBC commentary team towards the end of his career.

A interesting programme about Barry Fry on the Sky Football channel...I did not realise he is still quite involved with Peterborough United.

I'd look up the original programme about Peterborough and Barry Fry, He was manager then, more a type of DOF but the whole thing was hilarious to watch.

That was mentioned on last nights programme. Barry Fry said it helped save the club. Sky paid £250k a month for the coverage.

Couple things I remember about that programme was the manager (Can't remember his name though) when he stormed out and the players having no respect for him either.

Thanks for the tip as I watched it morning and as it was only short I was in the mood to watch another.
So I found Tosh on Amazon Prime and have just sat through that one aswell.
It was made in 2022 and details John Toshack’s move from Liverpool to Swansea initially as Player Manager and then charts The Swans incredible rise from the bottom of Division 4 to sixth place in Division 1.
Some fantastic footage and interviews make it well worth a view if you have access to the channel.
