Funny how the first and last BDO worlds were won by a Welshman taking out 50 to win by going 10 and D20 after having a dart at the bull bounce out for the title.
Met Martin Adams in redruth during an exhibition, took the time out to pose for a picture and asked about my family, chatted for about 10 minutes, really nice bloke!
I bumped into him at the Lakeside bar, had a bit of a chat, he signed my hat and drew a little wolf on it. Then randomly saw him at a bus stop on the Isle of Man around 2008 where I was on a short holiday and he was playing in the darts tournament, again had a chat. Nice guy and I have been a Wolfie fan ever since.
General comments on each final --- 1978 - Somewhat underwhelming game. The best moment of that tournament was Rees' 10-darter in his match against Evans. Still, it is the first so it's quite clearly notable. 1979 - One of the worst finals. Rees just wasn't up to emulating his success of the year before. Did he not have a bad arm as well? 1980 - The final that really put the event into its stride. The chanting battles in the crowd (Bobby George!, Bristow! etc) is one of the great moments. 1981 - Lowe ought to have won. He was 2-0 up in sets and apparently could have made it 3-0. He also should have taken it to a deciding set. 1982 - Jocky wins for the first time, but a less memorable final than his second one. 1983 - Probably the most famous darts match ever. The 138 checkout after Bristow had declined to go for the bull is the stuff of legends. But Deller should have won 6-3. Maybe it wouldn't be as well remembered if he had done. 1984 - Forgettable final with one of the more forgettable top players of the 1980s. Whitcombe did at least manage to win a set here. 1985 - Probably peak Bristow. I think this was the one where he hit 15 180s, which was a record for a long time. 1986 - Like 1984, but a whitewash. The first at Frimley Green. 1987 - Not only the end of Bristow's dominance, but arguably also the start of the decline of darts as a televised spectacle. The recovery wouldn't take place until the 2000s. Great performance by Lowe. The signs of dartitis in Bristow can be seen. 1988 - Bob Anderson's win, always a better player than single world title suggests. A good close match too. 1989 - Possibly the second best final of the 1980s, after 1983. The Bristow comeback was something to behold. A deserved eventual win by Jocky, another player who ought to have won more. 1990 - The arrival of Taylor, who would remain an obscure figure to the general public for years despite dominating the game. Bristow was clearly past his peak by this point. 1991 - A sad game to watch due to Bristow's lacklustre display, but Priestley was a class act. 1992 - The best pre-split final. Solid play throughout, aside from Gregory's six missed darts for the watch, which gave it a dramatic element. Had Taylor lost this then the ensuing history of the game may have been different - it probably gave him that extra bit of confidence and he saw right in front of him how important it is to maintain bottle. 1993 - Good tournament with a crap final. Could have done with Bobby George (who ran Lowe close in the semi-finals) being in it. Warriner's only world final. He did actually pull it back from 5-1 to 5-3, perhaps giving the slight impression of Bristow in 1989. Might do more later.
The difference between the first and second world title is rees won it at 7ft6.the following yr the distance changed.rees wasnt as goog from 7ft9 1/4. The news of the world was played at an 8ft oche
As the late, great Sid Waddell used to say: "Taylor is the greatest dart player there ever will be." In that respect, he resembles the legendary Australian cricketer, Don Bradman, whose Test batting average will almost certainly never be equalled. Phil Taylor made watching the game sheer heaven.👌
@JoeBloggz-x2j it can easily be done by a certain young fella. The young fella that's only 17yrs old. .....so yea...all taylors records can be beaten.......if littler keeps his skill as he grows and gets even better...we're probably gonna be looking at an absolute master of the game.
There's one... there's two with the bullseye for the title.... YES WHAT A SHOT!! That's the greatest BDO moment ever of all time I have to say! A 170 out shot! Haven't seen many like that! 6-0 as well Unreal
1983 classic commentary from Sid Wadell "Bristow did the percentage shot, Deller did the business". A huge upset in the game from the glory days of the BDO.
I had no idea raveshing rick rude left the wwf to come and win the bdo title. Don't know why he changed his name to Steve Beaton but its definitely Rick rude from the wrestling 😂

Great Video! Some of darts most significant moments in this video. Both past and present, The BDO World Championship may have been overshadowed by the PDC World Championship but let's not forget had it not have been for the BDO, the PDC may not have existed. My best moments of this video 1983, 2000 and without a shadow of a doubt, 2007!
In a sense you are correct because if the BDO hadn't tried to ban all the top players for the crime of wanting to make a living from darts then there would have been no need for the PDC.
As a youngster I found Bristow to be quite arrogant on the dart board but I guess he earned the right. Awesome dart player and probably the best that ever did it!
The yips ruined him. Look at when he won his first title to him throwing at 7:16 when he's already developed a massive stutter when throwing the dart. Eventually he couldn't let it fly at all some days.
Brilliant see those old face, low was some player,as calm as you like, but Bristow was brilliant in the 80s and Jockie willson what a character, great days at the lakeside.
after the breakup in 1993 the PDC world championship was on such a higher level. Taylor averaged often between the high 90s and high 100s while most winners in the BDO even up to 2020 averaged low 90s
Grew up watching the BDO championship every year, me and my brother would get in to the darts and loved the watching, BDO had great players and there personalities, gutted for bobby george in 94 .i was a big martin adams fan and when he won his titles , fantastic memories . For me PDC has not got the same magic as the BDO world championships at the lakeside.
BDO -= TRUE DARTS . . .PDC ....was finished when Phil left . . ..only 4 players are any good ....the rest are pitiful . .. . ..Hearns ruined darts like he did snooker ...all the TRUE British know this . . . . . . .
1980 - it's not shown here but George really blew that final leg by going for T16 instead of T10 and leaving himself D9 instead of D18. Then hitting the big 20 instead of 1.
When Taylor etc left the level took a big hit, but it was still a good tournament with players like Barney, Burnett, Baxter, Mason, Fordham, King, George. After the turn of the millenium I felt it became a bit more of a joke with each year. Van Barneveld picked up 2 more titles in this era, but by then he really should've been gone already. He did win his debut PDC championship ofcourse, but he could've been on the lucrative PDC rollercoaster for a quite a bit more years. As soon as Adams starts to win silverware you know your competition is about to hit rock bottom. And Klaasen... yeah.
This lot become 2nd division darts after the PDC split, more a comp to see who could wear the most cheap gold 😅. Even the board in the 2020 final was bought from a market in Turkey
The opening graphic states "All BDO Lakeside World Champions 1978-2020". I hate to nitpick, but you do realise that the first 8 editions from 1978 to 1985, plus the last edition in 2020, weren't held at Lakeside don't you?
PDC has taken Darts and exploded its reach and its not really fair to compare with the BDO. In its prime it was super and sooo many great players, who didn't love The Embassy..Hankey's 6-0 170 Checkout is up there with the all timers !
Van Barneveld in 1995 doesn't look much different than van Barneveld in 2007 and only slightly different than now. As if he'd found the fountain of youth.
wow Bristow refused a bull finish and layed up dbl 16 because he didnt think Deller could take out a 138. fast forward to Ted Hankey to win on a 170 outshot. how the game changed in only 10 years.
While I know the Brits are great at darts, in the first half of the video where they showed where they were from, only Brits were in the final. So is this championship just for Brits, or are they so good that they beat players from around the world year after year, without exception?
not sure why ? they got to the final in one of the very few they entered, a lot more deserving players than them 2 didnt win it, o shea, fitton, george etc etc
Funny how the first and last BDO worlds were won by a Welshman taking out 50 to win by going 10 and D20 after having a dart at the bull bounce out for the title.
Back when the standard was absolutely laughable
Why laughable... darts had bigger wires back then.dart boards nowadays segments easy 2 mm bigger and darts are lot thinner hence bigger averages.

What good memories. R.I.P to a legend. E.BRISTOW🕯😢
Great reaction from Taylor against Gregory. In hitting the winning double he looked absolutely gutted for Mike. 😢
How did Gregory not win
@croadymeister Big case of 'clincher's disease'. An absolute heartbreaker. At least Mike won a good share of other tournaments.
Probably as well they were both knackered, I'd say at that point it was the longest match either had been involved in up until that point
Some great memories. Shame that Gregory missed all those match darts. And O Shea really deserved at least one world title.
A shame Ted Hanley is now a thoroughly disgusting man
Yeah. I'd forgotten about Tony.
"The Silverback" - for his Era arguably best player that never won a World Title.

I'm not a huge darts expert but I still remember Ted Hankey's 170 to win the title and we always loved this event in our house.
Don't talk about that rapist 🤮🤮🤮
The sex offender should be erased from darts history.
Hankey Vs Baxter was one of the most one-sided sporting events I've ever watched.
Exact opposite to Martin Adams' match when he was 6-0 up
"One Phil Taylor, there's only one Phil Taylor" simply the best, his record will never be beaten, or equalled

also not forgetting they actually drew each other in the first round the following year and adams won 3-0
Phill "The Power" Nixon. The greatest darts player in history
I think there's no finish more famous than Deller's 138. It's etched in darts history.
Definitely considering Bristow had an outshot at the bull but decided to set it up thinking Deller wouldn't hit the 138, absolutely brilliant!
wow the risk...
Etched not edged 😂
I think Smith:s finish in the 2023 finals is now the most famous.
There's one... there's two with the bullseye for the title.... YES WHAT A SHOT!!
That's the greatest BDO moment ever of all time I have to say! A 170 out shot! Haven't seen many like that! 6-0 as well
