Jenks pretty much had his number back then if memory serves.

Then again, Green also said in 2007 that it didn't matter that Barney had gone because Niels de Ruiter is just as good. No really. Which would have been quite a crass thing to say if old Barney had indeed erm popped his clogs. Turned out to be only retarded.

He sure did. Insulting and embarrassing in all directions.

I remember Tony Green acknowledging once that year Barney had gone but he didn't mention anything called the PDC. Some viewers must have thought he'd died, seriously.
Bollocks. He mentioned the PDC quite often.

I was referring only to that "once" that I heard him addressing it, oche. No need to go mental.

I remember a few people asking me during the 1994 Embassy where the likes of Bristow, Lowe, Wilson, Anderson, Taylor, Priestley etc. were.

First match I remember sitting through and taking a liking for the game was Whitlock v Wade at the 2010 Worlds. Vaguely remember some coverage of Barney's win in '07.

Vaguely recall watching the 2002 final. Didn't watch anything other than the Worlds at that time so I was majorly shocked Part beat Taylor the next year, so that really sticks in the mind. Started watching the other tournaments regularly when Barney came over, though funnily enough that 2007 final is the only one I've missed since I started watching darts

Welcome thegentle, stick around and have fun mate
The truth, however ugly in itself, is always curious and beautiful to seekers after it.

Mod material right there.
We could use another mod, maybe we should have a poll, I know how you like them.

If the founder status was removed I guess so.
