Your odd World Championship memories that no-one else remembers

[vizIIsto]

Not sure if it counts, but I remember watching the 2018 BDO Youth final with Justin van Tergouw and Killian Heffernan. Some monster finishes were exchanged in that match. Van Tergouw's performance in the match was right up there with the best performances of the men's tournament that year.

Lakeside when Duzza played Crocodile Dundee. We were sat in the posh seats upstairs. Duzza was pretty rancid that night. Hogan missed match darts to win 3-0 sets?

Duzza got on a roll and steam rollered to victory. From my vantage point I could see his manager down the front living every moment. We went and chatted to Mac. He was absolutely buzzing.

Will have to check the results history to dig out some earlier memories from decades gone by.

Justin van Tergouw as a kid was a very special talent. To use a Mardleism, he has regressed. Hope he turns in around. Then again the talent pool of youngsters is insanely high.

Just rewatched that final. It really was as good as I remembered it to be. Probably the best match I've ever seen without a 180.

Both players have dropped off the radar a little

I remember that. JvT looked the business. Pity it hasn't worked out for him (yet?).

Here's all the BDO youff finals according to wiki. So Girvan has lost in BDO and PDC youth finals.

[sennafan24]

Some unbelievable comments. He is still a kid. At least give time to mature.
As for will he be a success. I think he will but the true answer is nobody knows.

Good lineups. Roelofs v Ward in 2015 is one for the darts enthusiasts. Ward ended up winning a tour card, winning a Pro Tour event, then disappeared without a trace.

I'm not sure Colin Roelofs is still active. Not on the PDC tours currently. But his younger brother Owen seems to be doing well. Ranked 18th on DT and 37th on CT. And he's only about 20 years of age.

Good show Thorny.

A mention for Josh Richardson, son of Poppy. He sent the mushrooms spiralling by saying he was off to the PDC while this trophy was still warm from his hot hands. Lol.

[Rogg]

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

More nightmares. Rene Eidams. The Cube.

[vizIIsto]

The 2017 PDC event being very predictable with 3/4 quarters being all Top 16 seeds in the Last 16.
The bottom half extended it even further, with seeds #2, #3, #6 and #7 making the QF's, and #2 beating #3 in the SF.

[Rogg]

Hm.

[sennafan24]

Hm.

As I posted above, mine is Bristow vs Brown in 2000.

[sennafan24]

Although the first PDC game I recall loving was the Priestley vs Manley semi-final in the same tournament.

Cracking game.

[The Thorn]

Sun Qiang vs Mick McGowan

[sennafan24]

The weather being horrendous during parts of the 2010 PDC Worlds.

Shitlock averaging over a ton with a bad leg in 2012.

[Rogg]

I saw nothing of the 2000 Worlds as our Sky dish was cacked up or something.

So the first whole Worlds game I saw must have beeen something from the 2001 edition. I'll check the schedule and see if I can work it out ok thanks
