The start of what I hope will be an ongoing series.
For about six months back in 1982, Jocky Wilson was my sporting hero. And, yes, Darts is a sport. They've been known to wear sweatbands, and darts players discovered the necessity of regular re-hydrating during the course of a match when the likes of Jim Blyth and Mick Coop were still sucking on a slice of orange at half time.
If you're so inclined you can check out this interview with Jocky that dates from 2001. I must warn you that it is rather sad.
