The History of Darts presented by Bobby George
This incredible DVD tells the complete story of darts from its early
beginning in English pubs in the middle ages right through to the
dramatic televised competitions of the Embassy World Championships.
Presented by the legendary Bobby George , the BBC`s face of darts , the
programme uses a mix of archive footage and stills to tell the early
history , before moving on to the televised era from the 1970s onwards.
It all started in 1978 , when Welshman Leighton Rees beat Englishman
John Lowe 11-7 in the first ever Embassy World Darts Final. Lowe remains
one of the most enduring characters in the game , capturing a world title
in 3 different deacades , going on to win again in 1987 and 1993. But
it was "Crafty Cockney" Eric Bristow who ruled darts during the 1980s.
He claimed the first of his 5 World titles in 1980 by beating veteran
Bobby George and he successfully defended it the following year.But
Bristow`s domination was occasionally challenged by other legends of
the board notably Jocky Wilson and John Lowe.
Yet one of the most famous finals of the 1980s took place between Bristow
and the relatively unknown Keith Deller , who had already knocked out
Wilson and Lowe. Deller , given little hope , triumphed in perhaps the
most exciting final in Embassy Darts history when he beat Bristow 6-5
in the 1983 thriller.It would be his finest hour.
By the turn of the decade , Bristow gave way to his great friend Phil
Taylor who won 2 world titles during the 1990s including the epic
1992 victory over Mike Gregory , the greatest game of datrs ever
seen. Dutchman Raymond Barneveld was to match Taylor`s record
of 2 Embassy Championship wins in 1998 and 1999 , and the programme
is brought up to date with the emergence of first-time Enbassy Winner
Australian Tony David in 2002 and the first ever live 9 dart finish
achieved by Shaun Greatbatch at the Dutch Open in February 2002.
