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" !Darts night on BBC4 tonight(31st March)at 9pm.
A couple of the big ‘throwers’ from the 1980s era.

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.A interesting programme about Barry Fry on the Sky Football channel...I did not realise he is still quite involved with Peterborough United.
That was mentioned on last nights programme. Barry Fry said it helped save the club. Sky paid £250k a month for the coverage.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.
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.That was mentioned on last nights programme. Barry Fry said it helped save the club. Sky paid £250k a month for the coverage.
