Always loved watching Darts, we used to think these guys were amazing, but it shows just how good today’s stars are! Still like the old characters tho.
The game was more pure back then, and Eric and Bobby are darting royalty but you can see the standard has massively improved now, they wouldn't be in the top20 of players now
Bobby really blew that leg. The D9 was poor but he should’ve hit T10 instead of T16 his last dart so he wouldn’t hit a S9 and not have a second chance at a double
Remember, this was just four years after he picked up a dart for the first time! He admits himself his counting wasn't great. Bobby in 92 wouldn't have gone T16, it was an unfortunate consequence of his speedy rise to the top that led him to miscount and lose the game.
Shame Bobby George didn't win the world title since he is/was one of the best not to win but he says like others he won the news of the world championship which was more harder to win.
Jim Bowen: Bobby George here. We'll ask him to get 301 or more with 9 darts tonight. We hope he can, cuz we'll double it. Here we go. Are you ready, Bobby? Bobby George: Pardon, Jim? Jim Bown: Best of luck.......are you ready? Bobby George: Eh? Speak up. Can't hear you. Jim Bowen: He's pissin' deaf!!
@BawlinBee Yes, I've seen that Blood on the carpet-darts documentary, it's been uploaded on here. Brilliant documentary and Eric was always behind what was good for the game.
GB had a chance to take the throw off Bristow but couldn't take advantage. And then that double at the end :( But BG did OK - he was the first darts millionaire.
That's a true story, it was in Bristow's autobiography, Bristow kissed him on the cheek because they both knew it was a joke and were good friends, that's just how they spoke to each other back then, bring it back tbh.
i got a 10 pound note signed by bobby george where him an my dad had a game of darts with the note in the middle of the board and u have to get all three darts within the note gd times
Hi Before the game in the practice room, George went up to Bristow and rattled off some rubbish poem, he had written about how he going to beat Eric. Bristow just ignored him and carried on playing. At the end of the game, Bristow went to George and said "where is your f******g poem now pal" which is why George looks a bit embarrassed and lost for words.
wat a clown the referee is saying best of order whilst bobby was trying to finish. It was obvious that put him off a great deal just by the sheer distance of the miss. SHoulda gone to deciding set and who knows wat could of happened
Bristow was averaging just under 100 in the mid 80’s. It was only when players like Phil Taylor and Dennis Priestley came along and started averaging over 100. Also from 93 onwards where John Lowe’s average was in the 80’s and for a number of years the BDO world championship were won with averages well below Bristow in his heyday so I am far from convinced by that statement.
Loved to watch darts back then but this was a 20 dart leg which is really poor form for a number 1 player like Bristow. My favourite players back then were Jocky on the Hockey Wilson and John Low. A few years after this match Phil Taylor the GOAT was dominating the game. As much as I loved the players from my childhood in the 80s & 90s none of them would of stood a chance against Taylor.
Sid Waddell wasn't the best counter atall..I seen him making mistakes when it came to players set up shots. When Bobby George was on 141 he hit treble 20 and was going for treble 15 to leave double 18. When he hit the single 15 It left him 66. Why he was going for 16 I don't know, but hitting treble 16 left him 18. Sid waddell said it was a great shot.. it wasn't a great shot. Who wants to leave 18.. he should have went for treble 10..
@@chunkyfxdls1878 darts is a game where you need to be a good counter..you need to know your finishes, so it has got to do with maths. It's you that is a dumbo. You obviously haven't a clue about darts.. have a bit of manners and don't call me a dumbo.
clinton faulkner The commentator’s referring to the accuracy though dumbo 🙈. Everyone miscounts Phil Taylor wasn’t always the best. Eric was undoubtedly the best!
@@chunkyfxdls1878 you don't even know that you need to be a counter. Seriously. Anyone will tell you that you have to be a good counter in darts and know your finishes.
Yeah I think you can tell by the way his hand is so bent....the very beginnings of something more weirder coming...his action after suffering was just strange but it worked for him.
1:20 im sorry you just cant say eric bristow isnt gay hes sostuck up and thinks hes the best dart player ever when hes probaly about 15th on my ist hes never got a nine dart finish im pretty sure never got a 170 to why bother boasting when 20 year od james wade is better than you eric :)
Loved these guys at the time, but the standard now is SO much higher, it's incredible.

The trebles and doubles were way smaller back then
@@harrymonk6 yes! Looks like they used barbed wire on the board.
Everyone will have their favourite era in darts. This is mine. ❤ 🎯
My favourite era full stop.
Those were the days of classic dart history.😁👍
They were smokey days of darts history.
@@UnboxRacing Eh??
Only in England, could you have a televised sport with the players having a cigarette and a pint.
god-can smell the atmosphere from here.I loved these days.
Sweat, cigarettes, alcohol, and brut aftershave?
I didn't actually know how this finished and I've never wanted a man to win so much in my life as Bobby George in this match.
Why
@@peterb888 I can't remember, but I assume it's because I like Bobby and I'm not at all keen on Bristow.
Why
@@flashtheoriginal why not?
those were the days,room full of smoke and the smell of alcohol and cheap after shave!
Sounds lovely...
@@daaarrell15 yea it was
@@tonymorph3672 do love the constant smell of cheap after shave
Pure darts imo
It’s better now that smoking has been banned
Bobby G out here looking like the hero on the front cover of Barbara Cartland pulp romance novel
A game of darts. A few drinks and a smoke. Basically a good night out
The game was more pure back then, and Eric and Bobby are darting royalty but you can see the standard has massively improved now, they wouldn't be in the top20 of players now
These 2 would be considered prime athletes in today's game.
Have you ever seen Ricky ‘rapid’ Evans?
RIP ERIC
GREAT PLAYER R.I.P. ERIC
What a beautiful game ❤

Love this. The crowd cheering 100
These guys brought magic and pure coolness to the oche instead of today's shouting and intimidating.

i love darts, play for an hour a day and i'm 13, hope theres some under age tournaments! i never knew eric bristow had such a weird throw!
Still throwing??
I hope you still play, I've been at it now for over 35 years, love the game.
He's now a crackhead unfortunately
Crazy Bobby had only been playing darts 4 years or so
GB had a chance to take the throw off Bristow but couldn't take advantage. And then that double at the end :( But BG did OK - he was the first darts millionaire.

Best player ever, I playing him when he got on one knee to get his double 16, terrific man
bobby has got a lovely throw always liked it
i got a 10 pound note signed by bobby george where him an my dad had a game of darts with the note in the middle of the board and u have to get all three darts within the note gd times
R.I.P The Crafty Cockney.
Always preferred those times the real characters etc and I don't care if the overall standard or quality is much higher these day's.
Fantastic, the good old days
fans were so much more respectable back then. What a sad dawn we live in these days. We need these fans back!
they were friends simple as
I noticed that too. But I bet he throws them better than both of us combined. Whatever, floats his boat, gets the job done. :D
I never knew Bobby George has a giant ESPN on his forehead!
Love it 😊
God bless Bobby George carrying that candlestick around for years
Is it just me or was bristow 1st throw 60 not 100. The 2nd dart doesn't look like it's in the red bit!
It doesn’t look it at first but we only get a fleeting glimpse. Looks more like it’s in when his third lands. But I get your point.
Bobby Dollar - Eric Bristow.
Adam Ant plays darts??
@MCCigarTV Was it the way he throws the dart that gave it away ? :P
R.I.P Eric 🎯🏆🙏🏼
Cool game
After that 123 Bobby George should have won that leg to go level but in those days if you missed Bristow didn’t
@BoJangles3105
His dartitis didn't take hold until 1986.
Sid wadell... legend ❤️
RIP BRISTOW 💔
You gave away who won by saying final leg lol
Good match
Bobby had a nice throw here.
I can smell the old spice coming through my phone..
It all come down to the last dart
"Bobby needed a bigger comeback than Lazarus!"
When gold sovereign rings and belcher chains were fashionable. For 10 minutes.
Bob Anderson in the front row of the crowd there.
Hi

Bullshit.
its called banter lol
There were big mates Bobby George should have won
obviously bobby won
Bristow threw like a fruitcake. First time I've seen him play and it just jumped at me.
Bristow is a fruitcake
@@travelandwork a dead fruitcake
And they were only 16 years old here 👀
it wouldn't surprise me if bobby ended up in "eastenders"
This standard of darts today , would not get you out of your local pub.
I bet this is one that haunted bobby for a long time
wat a clown the referee is saying best of order whilst bobby was trying to finish. It was obvious that put him off a great deal just by the sheer distance of the miss. SHoulda gone to deciding set and who knows wat could of happened
You don't hear much of Bristow these days. Wonder what he's upto
You're kidding aren't you?
Eric was the master
pub standard now
I swear to god bobby in this era looks like the perfect aryan male. Could've been the ss poster boy XD
@Wullieboy919 yeah but it fuckin works!!!
Bristow has the ultimate throw he'd be a big star if he was around in todays game.
Come on now..
Sid vicious Vs Owen hart
bobby n eric lookin soo young
eric's first of 5 champiosnhips ere
bobby legend but eric is the man of darts =]
bobby george wata govner!!!!!!!!!!!
Missed single 1 😂.
Both legends of the game, but they couldn't hang with the high averages of today's players.

Smaller trebles and doubles too
Randy Cable Clueless you are 🙈
@@chunkyfxdls1878 It's just a fact you can easily check. That is unless you're too stupid to use a keyboard
@@misfit2022 - Shut it.
A ton and 95 and commentator says “ aw he’s throwing brilliantly “ 👀
These guys really have unorthodox dart holds and releases. Bobby's got worse as he got older!
Bobby's? You propablby haven't seen how Bristow throws currently. Watch the video of The League of Legends of Darts. ;)
Yeah, I know dartitis played a role in it, but I gotta say Bobbys throw looks better than Bristows now
he's NOT GAY???? what about 4:17 then?
Definitely a gay lol
hhaha only first to 6 cos the average score per dart was lower
The trebles were 20% smaller than today!

Bobby George was put under pressure by Bristow and buckled
what a gay way to throw darts..

When men was men, oh I miss these days, no pc or snowflakes,come back England plssssss
it was 85... a referee that can't watch the board and count is never a great idea.
They wouldn't get a game in my local with shite like that.
Shocking darts. Pub standard.
Pub darts
Got to be the worst leg of darts I've seen, in today's standards!! Like a typical BDO game
What? There are many legs like that in the PDC as well. Even the top guys have these kinda legs sometimes.
You know fuck all
