    yes what a horrible thing like such a great talent

  • @hawksrl Yes, he can't release the dart properly anymore. I had the same problem a year ago, and it's very annoying because you have to repractice the basics of your throw and it takes a lot of time to get over it.

  • @krew666666 I think its down to tradition, I live in a medium sized town and there are loads of pubs everywere and a dart board in most of them. Im not saying everyone plays here, far from it but ive been playing for around 4 years now and more young players are getting involved.  They start to play with their dads and realise they have a natural tallent, ive seen a 12 year old hit 100's consistantly. We have 6 leagues of teams in only 7 mile radius. Hope this helps.

  • Is there any footage of him hitting 3 bulls?

  • @MABBY1000 how did he die,was it liver faliour thats what i herd

  • @UJSupanova how did he die

  • @krew666666 cause darts was made in england

  • how is it that there are so many good players from the U.K.?....Yet here in America ,you cant find steel tip darts for your life....Im sure Vegas has tourneys but I dont see or hear about any descent players that can hang with England

  • @copperpotbaby No worries mate, the comments aren't exactly stacked in a good way. Evans's legacy will live on in the game mate, i'm still trying to hit the 'Alan Evans shot' in a match (150 finish on 3 bulls). It's still debated that Evans was the first ever professional darts player, Sid Waddell says he was but he was a great friend of Alans, others disagree but it doesn't really matter tbh, his influence is still felt today.

  • @UJSupanova Okay I apologise as I assumed your comments were meant for the one above yours! Unfortunately, Alan's best days were in the early 70's when he was no1; he was unable to prove how good he was by winning the later formed world champs; cancer then slowed him down in the mid 80's. It's really amazing to see him here when he had so little time to live but still play reasonably well. I remember this game, but didn't see it though; this was the night when Burnett also played against Taylor.
