As some-one who played darts for over 30 years I've always followed it closely and back in the 70's Alun Evans was my favourite player. Saw an exhibition from him up at the Alabama Showboat in Cleveleys back then. What destroyed him as a darts player was moving and standardising the oche back from 7 foot six to 7ft 9 1/4 and he was never the same player again. He used to try and sneak his foot over the line.
