On the subject of Spanish darts, people will recall Cristo Reyes' game at the 2017 Worlds against MVG

We dearly miss him

That's odd. I though it was somebody else. Barney was in a shambolic condition that night, don't know what was up with him.

It was in 2008. Barney beat Frost 11-9 after trailing 8-9 and being given a big scare. Barney went on to the quarter finals, where he led Mardle 12-7 and then lost 8 legs in a row, before losing 16-18. Barney was messing about with ceramic darts at the time. After Mardle beat him, he took 2 months off from darts, and came back refreshed and in much better form.

A year later, after the 2009 World Matchplay, where Terry Jenkins beat Barney 16-12 after leading 15-8, Barney again took 2 months off, during which he was diagnosed with diabetes. Barney claimed that it had been undiagnosed for at least 18 months prior.

Even the Matchplay incident with Painter I only recall due to it being shown that show.
