Actually that was the semi-final against RvB, because of the story behind the macth! ruclips.net/video/l_Ca5uim5L4/видео.html 2:55 it's in Dutch... But maybe there is a fragment in English
As a footnote i watched this win at a long closed pub,on the old projector screen as i played in the pool league. 🎱 I won,but that didnt matter as seeing Andy finally nail it. One of mums favourite players,she would have been so sad to hear of his passing.
I was 29 when I had the chance to watch this on live TV with my ex-wife and my baby boy, who was only 3 months old. Never forget the joy all around, he was a magic player
Andy fordham is an absolute legend of darts. The reason I play, and still use his darts to this day, to the legacy, he has passed on through him and through me, our kids play darts. Because of the big man. Massive fan, Sadly missed, these videos I can watch all day. There's only one ......Andy Fordham RIP big fella, you brought alot of joy to my life and you even personally messaged about your new darts to me, that I got abit excited about now your gone it's emotional. Cheered you all the way. The best !!
@@78bullseye Most can be sore losers probably comes to down to competition playing for mega money etc it can bring out the worst in most under the pressure etc. King is a very good player though I like his smooth throw.
Brought here to celebrate the Vikings greatest win, in respect of his sad passing today. RIP big guy 🙏

RIP The Viking. Was overjoyed when you won in ‘04. 😞
I was a 15 year old kid when this happened, I was so happy for him. 🇳🇱 Rest in peace Andy

We will all miss you Andy, Thanks for the memories, RIP Viking.
Rip Andy. He was the reason I started playing darts.
Thank you Andy, for being a huge part of my childhood ! I won’t ever forget you !
RIP big man. The most popular darts player ever - no contest
RIP Viking Andy, a true gentleman, family man and Legend.
RIP Andy The Viking Fordham what a legend to the game of darts. I remember watching this final and wanting Andy to win
R.I.P to big Andy Fordham legend of the game the Viking will never be forgotten
Incredible Match from The Viking. 97 Ave on the old Boards. Big Darts from Big Andy.
One of the most simplest throws, what a great man the darts world has lost, RIP Legend
RIP - 17 years on, it's quite spooky that one of these people is no longer with us and the other is still in the upper echelons of the game.
So long Andy, gone too soon but thanks for the memories.

Great final that was. Mervyn gracious in defeat too
RIP Viking
It was a wonderful match & you were a wonderful guy!
Meet him a few times always had time for people and especially his fans one of the greatest.RIP
The Viking has gone to Valhalla. RIP big man 🎯
Love always brother ! Sleep well VIKING 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Awesome guy and great Rangers man 🇬🇧🙏💙
King was really gracious in defeat which he hasn't always shown.
He generally was when still playing with the BDO, it wasn’t until the PDC switch that his attitude seemed to change somewhat

King is a very good player though I like his smooth throw.
Was he? Watch the interview afterwards and he doesn't come across so gracious.
RIP Andy🙏
One of my favourite dart players, the viking. Rest in peace Andy 🙏
Easily one of the most likely darts players across the professional game
Fordham’s head belongs on the prow of a viking longship. His focus appears impenetrable.
Seeing this video I could not image this was in 2004. It looks more like the end of the 80s.
RIP Andy "The Viking" FORDHAM!
🎯🏆🥇
Atmosphere was at its best here. Well before the sky sports crowd came in with football songs
the first ever bdo final I ever watched when I was just 11 years old
Long live the Viking. RIP Andy.
Very 😥A big RiP Andy...love to Family and friends x
Proud to say, this lad is on my Mt Rushmore of darts.
Rest in peace big man 🍺 🎯 🌍
Rest easy big man a true blue and forever one of us. We are the people 😢🇬🇧🏴🏴
What happened to the first video of this match it shows Mervin and Andy being interviewed
This is from 17 years ago very rare to ever see it on tv so he prob couldn’t find it anyhwerw
What a great match. R.I.P. Andy.
Big man and big player. RIP. :(
The difference in who the crowd were rooting for was massively in favour of the Viking.
Yes, we had been wanting him to do it for years.
1:19:44 The Bullet
Bunting mental
@livefreeordie7209 To think he won the lakeside 10 years later aswell.
The first time in a long time they didn't say the embassy world champion presented by the marketing director from imperial tobacco
R.I.P. Viking
I didn't care if the viking lost he was still my best
Let's play darts ... Rip mate miss u
Most popular winner ever? Think only if Bobby George had won it he would have rivalled him on terms of popularity
R.I.P
