RIP Jocky. Cracking player when he was on his game. I will play Dexy's Midnight Runners in his honour.

seems to have had a pretty troubled life away from darts, but was such a likeable - and talented - guy in the spotlight. RIP Jocky

Can't believe he was only 62. He looked at least 62 when he won the championship 30 years ago.

Two ones and a treble top, that score doesn't do him justice. RIP Jocky Wilson.

Wonder what the average lifespan is for a pro darts player.

just looking at that Bristow / Wilson 89 final.. what amazingly good natured, good humoured sportsmanship. was darts always like that back then? or is darts just generally like that anyway? did Wilson and Bristow have a prticular affection for each other? never watched much darts.

I held the door open for him once, at Heston Services.

RIP big (but quite short) man.

I have his autograph somewhere. RIP, big chap.
