Mister M Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 I thought he would've been a lot older than 60. He seems to have been around for many years - must've started young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

top4718 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 I was always a John Lowe fan in my younger days, (fairly) local lad with the cool, calm demeanour, Eric was his arch nemesis, a brash Southerner who wasn’t afraid to flaunt his arrogance (albeit with a twinkle in his eye), the Crafty Cockney was the player you loved to hate but could back up his persona with being a very good player, a true ambassador for the sport and a sad loss at such a young age. RIP Eric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blake Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 farewell then Eric Bristow, you were darts' Steve Davis. only southerners wanted you to win, and when you lost, everybody else cheered. even when it was Keith Deller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cycleracer Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 I met Eric a couple of years ago on the Hull to Rotterdam ferry crossing, he was entertaining the folk on the crossing. Got a pic with him somewhere, nice bloke shame he has died so early but most dart players in that era lead live's in the wrong lane of diet and booze and fags and looks like that lifestyle has caught up with him.
