He is in fact a unique hit for Breathless in Seattle, which is remarkably good picking as it was actually the first time the darts player had been picked for the DDP since 2016!

Well I picked Tony Green in 2018, but a handy amateur darts player, back in my team this year.

 

I only know this because he threw on Bullseye early 1980s.

I named my (B-team but not really a B-team) after Bullseye then completely missed in every game with Jim Bowen, for shame!

Guess he didn't have a "great batch" of T-cells.

I dunno, I found it very hard to get the balls to stick in the board.

Greatbatch was preceded in death by his mother, Sandra Greatbatch, who was no slouch on the female side of the arrers (three time British Women's Open champion, played in 20 Women's Masters between 1987 and 2009).  She got a QO last month.

Death reported, aged 65, of the Danish player Jann Hoffmann. Made the last 16 of the BDO World Championship twice (1990 and 1993), but opted to step back from the sport when the Great Split happened. Came back a decade to play some Euro events and twice represented Denmark at the World Cup.

Report of the death of Welsh player Phil Obbard, back in the 1970s and apparently not worthy of a Wiki page despite being a runner up in the World Masters to John Lowe in 1976:

I’m slightly surprised there isn’t a regular, sanctioned and sponsored (by Heinz) World Farting Championships. Like Crufts, there could be different categories, with Loudness and Stench being the two major ones. A channel like Dave or Men & Motors would probably buy the TV rights.
