If you could spend a day in the company of any dart player who would it be and why ?

For me i think it would be Mr John Lowe , I admire his temperament and his game and the way he played it , To throw a few darts and have a pint with that man would be an honour indeed for me .

Trina Gulliver would come a very close second though :twisted:

I would go for the Power then Bobby George, Nicholson, Gary Anderson, Kong, and last Jamie Lewis.

The Power because hes the best.

John Lowe for me too, I think he would be a good guy to learn from really!

Whose company would a prefer to be in ? well probs nowadays Gary Anderson as he can

laugh so we both would have something in common both being Scots also ..

As for the rest of them i dont really know enough to say really

but the least i would like to be in the company of would be Adrian Lewis ..

As fir John Lowe he came over to me a few years back while a was in the
Fishermans Club in Eastbourne when down for the Eastbourne Open

Also met him when he was in Scotland doing an Exhibition in 79 ' in a Club in Fife
and stuck up for him while in the toilets in which he recognised such

He is though the one player whom ive always liked his style of throwing a Dart

But although a decent guy i found him to be as tight as a Drum ..

Gary would be good as you can seen hes on me list

You may like her Andy, but sorry, the girl in Darren's avatar pic stands a better chance with Trina than you lol


As to the question - will have to give it some thought as far as players still alive is concerned. If you include those sadly no longer with us though then it's a very easy choice for me - Leighton Rees

Does that mean Trina is a lessa! I told Andy she was lol!

The Russian lassie whom has just won the final yday would be 1st if a female darter from all

the others by far i wouldnt mind the company with fir a day or so ;)

But from all players past and present ive already been in the company of the one
id have picked and that was Jocky Wilson id have also liked to have been in the company of the late Leighton Rees
for as well as being a top class Darter, which he well proved, he was i feel also a top class guy

and whom liked a few i noticed on the tv when playing Darts them days also

She was married to a bloke for about 10 years, but for the last 5 or 6 years she's been "married" to another darts player Sue Biddle

I've given it a lot of thought an my choice would be Anastasia - for obvious reasons lol

If it had to be a male player, then from the PDC it would be Barney - just to knock some sense into him the way he keeps changing his darts - and from the BDO it would be Tony O'Shea as he seems a decent bloke who likes the odd pint or two

I also believe Eric Bristow wouldve been gd company for a bit of banter

Love to shot some Dart with the Power.....also Gary Anderson!!! Seems like a great guy and a sense of humour!! And like someone had said.....would love to rub shoulders with Anastasia Dobromyslova....just because she is Bloody hot as hell ! And she is very good....lol!!!!

+1

i think he'd be a great guy to meet up with and have a pint or four. i bet hes got some great stories.

Anna all the way lol. If not her than Adrian Lewis, he might be a cocky SOB but he is the champ

He's also a nice bloke at exhibitions by all accounts

Would love to me him MC

Though passed his prime I really would like a day with George Silberzah my friend and mentor.

Thats doable where does he live?

Without a doubt it would have to be Anastasia but id rather switch the spending the day part to spending the night...

Then it would probably be Part. He's just a regular guy and I've seen him play world class darts obviously( with world championships)... and seen him shoot very poor darts just like the rest of us. He seems like a cool guy to hang out with.

Hatrick

Nah ya dont want to spend the night with Party, he will flatten ya when he rolls over in bed, he's a big lad ya know!

I think hes in Delaware

bump for new members!

I would pick Kim Huybrechts if he brought his woman with him. If not then probably Justin Pipe because he's a former cage fighter, so we would have plenty to discuss.

Whilst I'm sure Brian Woods is an orright bloke, if I was in his company for more than 2 minutes, I would take to him with a set of head shavers. No.1 all over.

Brian Woods, what about Peter Snakebite Wright and his dredds!

I'd like to have a pint with Co Stompe - he looks like he likes to have a laugh.

I wouldn’t mind spending a day with any of the top professionals, past or present, however, my first choice would be Eric Bristow. I met him, and spent about an hour talking to him when he was doing an exhibition in my area just after he won the Embassy for the first time where he beat Bobby George. And as cocky as he was in those days, when he was off stage he was such a down to earth guy. He had time for everyone. Now many may disagree I know, but, to me he was the Mohammad Ali of darts. He was cocky, he had a style of his own, he predicted the outcome of his matches, and he dominated the world of darts! He said to me at the time: “Being cocky works for me. Sometimes I can see the fear in my opponents even before they get up on stage. But I always say to them, calm down and enjoy it…your going to lose anyway”.

Oh how I wish I had his confidence!!!

Actually that was who I meant. I'm just slightly retarded. Much like Peters hairdo's

On many occasions I got to play and hang out with Paul Lim. He's really a humble and great guy. He got me into playing league and tournaments and for that I'm forever thankful.

I first went into his shop hoping he could repair my darts, but the barrel was cracked. He took a lot of time with me throwing a lot of darts to see what I played best with. Turned out to be a light soft tip dart made by Laser Darts called Black Widows. Have had the same set since that time.

He convinced me soft tip was going to be the future of darts and I could play both steel and soft with them. I was sold!

I moved around the country a lot, quit playing for about 10 years and lost contact with him. I know he still has a dart shop in Southern California and I believe his son runs it now.

I never at the time realized just how big of a name he was. I knew he had his own dart line made by Unicorn and I knew he was really good. Talking to him you would not know he was a top-rated player. Very humble.

Next time I'm out that way I'll pop by.

I'm with Jake, I would love to have a chat with Paul Lim.
