Your odd World Championship memories that no-one else remembers

Taylor v Kim pre match with Taylor taking a disliking to Kim's celebrations saying they're well over the top.

Kim in not fazed one bit as he goes full on mental in his leg winning celebrations.

Taylor v Painter:
Taylor with 3 darts in hand hits the bull 1st dart causing Mutley to lose it and implode.

Great scenes!

1st round sees Heydon go odds on in-play with Aidie there for the taking. Gets stung by a wasp and goes on to win the world championship

The last time Alan Evans played, I think it was 1988.
Against Jocky Wilson he had to dash off every 5 minutes because he had the shits.
Came back from the bog one time and went for a 164 checkout.
Jocky was applauding before the dart even went in the bull.

Steven Fry with Sid Waddell in the comms box was a bit of a coup at the time:

Both wordsmiths looking for that killer line and in steps Fry after being encouraged by Sid "I'm like a pig in chardonnay." The prince of style sits laughing at the pair of them.

Eric Bristow vs Steve Brown in the 2000 PDC Championship.

I think that was the first PDC game I watched live.

- John Bowles triple robin hood.

Madness.

Benito scoring 1 on a scoring visit during the time he was losing form. I believe he switched darts after.

In the 2006 World Championship, second favourite Colin Lloyd batters Gary Welding for 2 sets averaging something like 107. Welding responds with a dominant set of his own and it seemed to spook Lloyd. It then became a grindfest, and Welding pulled out the 3-2 win.

Trauma. I spose at least it spared us the whimsy of the world number 1 losing the final 7-0...

That whole section of the draw went to shit.

French is from Australia

Wrong

It was late

World championship final:
Those troll station clowns creating chaos as one of them gets on stage and lifts the trophy wlth Gando and Goblin looking in disbelief

He should have got executed.

Another final:
Behind the scenes Taylor's playing mind games as he hangs up a shirt with a big number 11? on the back and duly dismantles Manley, who walks off stage without shaking hands.

Dear old Dave Lanning informs that it was title #10. I didn't know about the shirt troll, lol. Not the last time he did that either.

[Rogg]

A mystery Dimitri dancing on and thwacking the dreaded White on debut. It began.

Than a cruel defeat to Reyes in Round 1 the following year. Averaged around 100 but Reyes was possessed. One of the best Last 64 games possible.

[Rogg]

Reyes even gave probable pomp MVG the willies the round after. I was like, Cristo, calm the fuck down.

[Rogg]

Someone definitely fell over. Can't remember who.

[sennafan24]

Manley actually returned later to shake hands.

Did they really happen? Try us.

BDO World Championship Final 1999:
It's 12 noon on Sunday as we enter a pub a mile or 2 from Lakeside. In walks Ronnie Baxter with his wife (boy could she scream) for a sociable drink trying to keep things normal.

5-6hrs later he's on stage against Barneveld in the final. We're stood at the back by the bar, the atmosphere is electric. Raymond wins 6-5 sets thriller. Another could've been moment for the Rocket.

[sennafan24]

Wasn't there a rumour that Baxter's wife slept with Alex Roy the following year?

The rank unknown German who nearly beat Goblin having been 2-0 sets down.

The Limestone Cowboy walk on with a real horse. Bob said he was terrified of horses and stood well back. Sky wanted him to ride it to the stage
