RIP, the Cocky Craftney. He was a monster player of darts and great to watch on the telly, with his skill and attitude. Another hero from my youth gone.
You beat me by about 5 mins, I was just going to post that again. Always worth an airing and I'm sure Eric would have loved it.
i shared a couple of words with him at the bar of Caesars Palace aberdeen about 20 odd years ago. friendly enough. i didnt recognize him until the bar lady pointed it out after he left. big fella btw. R.i.p.
Very sad, he was a character, he used to pop into a local pub and was always friendly, had a couple of heavies close by though. Steve
Legend! There's not many sports you can become world number one and world champion six times whilst chuffing on a cigarette and drinking a pint. 60 far too young. RIP.
