Your odd World Championship memories that no-one else remembers

[Randall]

I'm struggling to remember anything specific

In general or just on this topic?

Either sadly

[Mabbsy]

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

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

And a classic thread on the old DF dedicated to the big freeze, was comedy gold I seem to recall.

Was thinking the same thing
Happy memories

Hm.

The first one. Dennis Priestley vs. Jocky Wilson, although Jeff Stelling called the latter "Jocky Brown". A damn good match too.

[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

Checked. The first Worlds game I can swear to having watched in full is... Graeme Stoddart v Gayl King. I almost certainly watched the game before it too, at the top of that afternoon session: Paul Lim v Dan Lauby Original.

But the actual answer, most likely, is the opening game of the tournament on the previous afternoon: Dave Askew v Mick Manning. Thank you.

I'm struggling to remember anything specific

how is this possible exactly?

You are in the 'earliest memory' thread in 2017 saying this, if it helps:

Having started this thread I honestly can't remember any specifics.
I remember it was Bristow and Lowe so I'm guessing early 80s.
First absolute clear memory is jocky winning.

Not really

Impressive. Have you read Sid's 'Bellies and Bullseyes'? There's a great bit in that about the launch.

[The iron chicken]

Vaguely remember 82 Jocky winning but the one that sticks is Deller 83, and there's been enough column inches covering that final. But overall a good finals with Jocky missing the 9 on T15.

Not really

Do you remember anybody winning it more recently? Cross?

[Mabbsy]

Eric's first title v Bobby George , I remember it quite well

I remember that

I remember Lewis v gando quite clearly

[daveboygreen]

Andy Smith in I think 2007 playing Asian qualifier Shi Yongsheng beating him to nil then having a rant in his interview about the poor quality of the players from Asia etc getting into the worlds.

What a pair of cunts

[Rogg]

It should be 32 Englishmen, born and bred.

Would keep a lot of good players out. Wright would easily win the title.

If I remember right Smith said it was embarrassing having to play him.

[Rogg]

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

Cracking game.

I've worked out that the first Worlds game I recall loving was Harrington v Scholten, a QF on New Year's Day 2001. Roland was proper acting the dick and God was in a foul mood.
