Eschewing drink and advocating fitness to improve performance, Taylor covers around 500,000 miles a year competing across Britain, and in countries as far apart as the USA and China. him into a boxer, Taylor's first job saw him earning #75 a week in a factory making ceramic toilet handles - and by the age of 25 he had never thrown a dart in anger.

  • Dr. Darts' Newsletter
    1 DR. DARTS’ NEWSLETTER Issue 91 October 2017 STILL AT THE CUTTING EDGE: THE BLADE DARTBOARD CELEBRATES 20th ANNIVERSARY It always a pleasure to help raise the profile of the WINMAU Dartboard Co. Ltd., who have sponsored my research for a decade. What better opportunity than to congratulate WINMAU on the 20th anniversary of the production of the BLADE dartboard. (The image below, left, shows the original BLADE packaging.) Like most things in the modern era, technical innovation has been the driving force behind the incredible pace at which darts equipment has evolved. Wood and feather gave way to tungsten and more advanced flight and shaft materials, and elm was eventually replaced by sisal (aka ‘bristle’). Such innovations in the darts we throw and the board we aim at has seen players of unparalleled ability hitting ever higher averages. WINMAU (formerly Kick Bros.) celebrated its 70th anniversary last year and so it is no surprise that the company has played an extremely important role in the darting success story since the 1940s. Nothing illustrates this more clearly than the Blade dartboard. Since 1997, each iteration of the Blade dartboard has been recognised as the finest and most durable in the world – a fact acknowledged by the British Darts Organisation (BDO), which not only endorses Blade dartboards, but has been using them in all its competitions since the original Blade was launched two decades ago. WINMAU’s Sales and Marketing Director, Ian Flack told DDN, “Each evolution of the Blade dartboard builds on the innovations that have gone before it. Every time we sit down and say to ourselves ‘The current Blade is great, but what can we do to make it even better.” 20 years ago, that approach resulted in innovations that we all, as darts players, now take for granted such as the introduction of angled (or bladed) wire that minimised bounce-outs, and a completely staple-free web (aka ‘spider’ in the USA).

  • Dr. Darts' Newsletter
    1 DR. DARTS’ NEWSLETTER Issue 90 September 2017 NEWS OF THE WORLD THE AMERICAN CHAMPIONS Whenever I write about the News of the World I always receive positive feedback despite the fact that the tournament was ‘suspended’ in 1990 and then only competed for one one further occasion in 1997. It seems that darts people are still fascinated by that tournament. Up until now I have tended to concentrate on British competitors but then I received an e- mail from Mark Veatch of San Diego, California who wrote: Hello Patrick, I've been enjoying your newsletter for quite some time now. I also like watching the old News of the World footage from the 70's and 80's. One thing made me curious, and I was hoping that you might be able to shed some light. I've seen or read about a few Americans who had the chance to compete in the old News of the World tournaments. Al Lippman, [pictured] Len Heard and Rick Ney come to mind. How did they qualify to play? And what was their starting point in the brackets? I know that the UK competitors had to fight their way through starting at the local level. I suppose this same question applies to other foreign competitors such as Stefan Lord. Thank you for any insight that you can provide! Mark’s question made me realise that I have paid very little attention to international players participating in the News of the World so what better place to start than players from ‘across the pond.’ I undertook some research and passed my findings on to Mark and now publish them here with some amendments to my original response.

  • The Professionalisation of British Darts, 1970 – 1997
    From a Pub Game to a Sporting Spectacle: The professionalisation of British Darts, 1970 – 1997 Leon Davis Abstract: Various sport scholars have noted the transition of sports from amateur leisure pastimes to professionalised and globalised media sporting spectacles. Recent developments in darts offer an excellent example of these changes, yet the sport is rarely discussed in contemporary sports studies. The only sustained theoretical research on darts focuses primarily on the origins of the sport in its nostalgic form as a working-class, pub taproom pastime in England. This article critically examines the transformation of darts from a leisurely game to a professional sport between the 1970s and the 1990s. The change was enabled by the creation of the British Darts Organisation (BDO) and the introduction of television broadcasting, which together fed a continual process of professionalisation. Initially, this article discusses both the concept of professionalisation and similar developmental changes in a selection of English sports. Following this, via selected interviews, documentary analysis and archival information, the reasons behind the split in darts are explicated, shedding light on how the BDO did not successfully manage the transformation and the sport split into two governing bodies, from which the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC), the sport’s most successful organisation in the present day, has emerged to dominate the world of televised darts. Keywords: Darts, professionalisation, television, game, sport Introduction For much of the twentieth century, darts was a predominantly working-class game played by local people and top-ranked players in British pubs and social clubs. However, since the 1970s, the game has rapidly changed from a communal game into a sporting entertainment spectacle.

  • Jocky Wilson
    SPORTING LEGENDS: JOCKY WILSON SPORT: DARTS COMPETITIVE ERA: 1978 - 1995 Top sportsmen can come in all shapes and sizes, and nobody proves that more than darts star Jocky Wilson. At 5ft 4ins and around 16 stone, he has shown that you don’t necessarily need the body of Hercules to become a world-beater. Born as one of 11 children in the Scottish town of Kirkcaldy, Jocky’s working life began as a coal miner. It is a measure of his success that at the end of the 1970’s he was on the dole, but five years later was earning more than £100,000 a year around the pubs and clubs circuit of professional darts. Jocky was quite a late starter in the game. “I did not even look at a dartboard until I was in my early twenties”, he admits. “My first real competitive match was because someone had to drop out”. Wilson got thrashed in that game, and it stung him into buying a board of his own and practising for hours on end. “I was not going to let myself get humiliated again”, he says. When Jocky is on the oche it is his distinctive throwing style which sets him apart from many of his contemporaries. Because of his lack of height he has to look up to the board and throw from the shoulder, rather than the elbow. SPORTING LEGENDS: JOCKY WILSON Jocky Wilson was from the old-school, and fully deserved his two World Titles. He is the first to admit that this was once a problem.
