Dunno what a 180 has to do with a BDO player.

Dunno what a 180 has to do with a BDO player.

 

 

It's what his opponent scores repeatedly when the two codes go head to head to find the ultimate champion

The sole winner of the PDC Women's Championship, Stacy Bromberg, who beat Tricia Wright 6-5 in the 2010 final, dead at 60.

 

I think this, technically, makes her the first dead winner of a PDC major, being as all the names from the men's code still walk the earth.

Some of them tend to shuffle - but I get your drift

Morihiro Hashimoto, who featured in the first rounds of the 2011 and 2014 World Championships (being handily eliminated both times), as well as twice representing Japan at the darts World Cup, has died at 40.

The life expectancy of Darts players seems even shorter than that of wrestlers.

Another Deathlist Cup shoo-in fails to make the starting XI: Fans of the arrers would no doubt be aware that Kim Huybrechts missed his Premier League match last night to be with his mother, Gaby, in her final days. She has now checked out.

Davy/Davey Dodds, PDC tour card holder 2014-2015, has apparently taken his own life according to various industry figures on Twitter. His main claim to fame was being the victim of Gary Anderson's first ever televised nine-darter:

Double topped himself?

Fuck, I must make that joke every few months

Was a great match, just hope Cross win's now, can't stand Taylor great player but a c*nt of a man, somehow don't want to see a convicted sex offender go out on a high but i think it will happen sadly.

He has since told the media that although the loss of his foot was a shock for him, he was glad to be alive and expressed his hopes that he could still play in a World Championship in a few years. (While I highly doubt that, I think he'd be safe for a good 40-50 years.)

Well, he didn't. And it wasn't even close, although he beat his best average in the tournament, he never even had a chance, Cross played as brilliantly as van Gerwen did last year. The fat old man didn't look like he is ever gonna become a centenarian, although he might still have a few good years in him. Deathlist potential in 2030 perhaps.

Terry Jenkins cut back on his schedule last year, and now he's showing up for the UK Open qualifiers bald and clearly having lost weight. Hmm....

Could a mod please move this to the darts thread - 99% sure there is one, but can't find it.

 

Edit: Shit, the Andy Fordham one right?

As stated elsewhere, The Crafty Cockney died tonight, had a heart attack backstage at the PL. Thankfully he didn't have to watch that shocker of a Price/Whitlock match.

[TQR 14,352]

BBC confirmation of this.

[Lard Bazaar 3,799]

Paedo, not poof.

That is quick work, even by Aaron Ramsey's standards.
