David Peach the other ( 1973) ?

Tony Knapp sounds good.

One is Glenn ****erill ( 1985).

I'd guess at Mick Channon and Matt Le Tissier.

1966, I'm going to have a total guess at David Webb as I know he once played full game in goal for Chelsea and kept a clean sheet.

Of course we have as always the never ending debate as to whether darts is a sport ? For me, just my opinion, it definitely is as much a sport as Motor Racing, Show Jumping, Horse Racing and many other accepted sports I could name. Phil Taylor is as good at what he does as any sportsman in any field ever, he transcends darts and has done for 20 years. He took darts to a whole new level, no longer could darts players drink during matches and expect to win, not against the likes of Taylor. He practices for hours a day, his mental strength is exceptional and he takes his fitness years very seriously. Several years ago prior to a World Championship he lost 2 stone in order to get himself in top shape. However, though he reached the final he lost and though he'd never say it himself the reason he lost was because the weight loss changed his stance at the oche and his balance wasn't what it normally is. You just have to listen to his interviews, of course he'll say how proud he is to win another WC or perhaps more on Monday to hit 2 nine darters and rightly so, phenemonal. Yet he'll always have a good word for his opponent so he truly is a sportsman and one we can be proud of. I suspect the reason the BBC tend to give darts only a brief mention at such events as the Sports Personality of the Year is because they can only cover the mediocrity of the BDO World Championship, just amateurish in comparison to the PDC.

Sorry, commentary by Sid Waddell but still worth watching http://www.skysports.com/video/inline/0,26691,15618_6171390,00.html

Also brilliant, I love The Jam/Paul Weller too, Road To Nowhere is one of my all time favourite songs and Teenage Kicks along with the sublime Julie Ocean my favourite Undertones tracks

Thanks, better late than never I have just revisited this thread, great stuff!
