Sky's voice of Darts has lost his battle with bowel cancer.

He used to drive me mad with his constant Phil love, but he did have some classic lines.

quote:

When Alexander of Macedonia was 33, he cried salt tears because there were no more worlds to conquer � Bristow's only 27."

quote:

"We couldn't have more excitement if Elvis walked in and asked for a chip sandwich

quote:

'Cliff Lazarenko's idea of exercise is a strong pull on a soda siphon

quote:

'When Lowe gets back to Clay Cross there'll be a reception like Ayatollah Khomeini had hit town'

quote:

'Jocky Wilson, all the psychology of a claymore.

RIP Sid.

His Bellies and Bullseyes book is a fantastic read

I'm actually shocked by this news. I didn't even know he was ill. His voice was synonymous with darts and he had such passion and slight eccentricity that brought a spark to the game.

Sad news. A comedy genius and a warm, friendly, deeply intelligent bloke to boot.
