    Martins had a canny shot on him - the problem was it was only once every dozen games!

    Loads of characters in the game now - PDC darts anyway - Taylor, MVG, Barney, Peter Wright, Gary Anderson. And the standard is through the roof now. In the eighties 3 darts averages were probably about 85 or 90 in a good performance, whereas you have players hitting 105 or 110 averages regularly these days. World Championships coming next month then the Premier League starts in Feb I think. Can't wait!

    In my opinion robert was a very very underated player.

    Ok he didn't help out much at the back but we did well in all honesty in those days.

    Two words - Gary Speed

    When you have him doing the donkey work with that kind of tactical awareness and footballing brain, others look brilliant.
