Darting commentator has died age 72.

RIP.

Classic commentary, including one of my favourites:

"When Alexander of Macedonia was 33, he cried salt tears because there were no more worlds to conquer... [Eric] Bristow's only 27."

Cambridge graduate, academic, folk musician, writer, TV quizmaster......truly a man o' dairts.

Creater of Jossies Giants too, RIP Sid

[Pretty Boy]

Could be as annoying as **** but truly was the voice of darts.

A bright and witty guy who'll be missed.

[Pretty Boy]

'He's playing like Robin Hood in the Nottingham Super League'

'This lad has more checkouts than Tesco'

'When Alexander of Macedonia was 33 he cried salt tears because there were no more worlds to conquer. Eric Bristow is 27.'

'The atmosphere is so tense if Elvis walked in with a portions of chips you would hear the vinegar sizzle on them'.

RIP Sid, you made darts sounds so much more interesting and exiting, didn't realize he was 72.

R.I.P Sid.

If only some of our football commentators had your wit and way with words.
