I liked Sid despite all his flaws :)

Brilliant photo. There's a version of it where they have taped up Randall instead.

I still miss him on darts commentary. He had a way of building up the atmosphere.

Chris Mason once said of Sid Waddell "People say that there's a fine line between genius and madness, but Sid was both, and he went over both lines massively".

Sid was fantastic, even with the Taylor bias.

If you hold your throw you never know was my favorite.

Sid was great at times but his prowler rimming goes against him, it was sickening.

"He looks like the naughty kid who breaks the toys" is a Sid observation I remember re MvG.
