Earliest memory was Taylor equalling Bristow's 5 World titles, remember watching the final but oddly didn't remember much of the brissy Vs Taylor semi final until I watched it on YouTube a while back. I was 9 years old at the time.

I've got the whole match on dvd somewhere, don't remember specifics.
Seem to recall Taylor came out in a cape?!

Hey, Smiffy was great.

So like me you have never known darts without Taylor. Crazy really.
Yep. I'm glad I caught it from his televised beginning too.

Am I imagining that Bob Anderson came out with a horse at some point?

No, that actually happened. A horse named "Boz", I think. Bob Anderson was a bit fearful of horses apparently, which is rather ironic for someone with the nickname of The Limestone Cowboy.

Didn't Peter Evison first make his name on Bullseye as a contestant?

As I recall, Simon Whitlock often came out in the Premier League with the walk on girl dressed in Dorothy Gale clothes, and others dressed as the Scarecrow, Tinman and Cowardly Lion.
